The whole point of micro-democracy was to allow people to choose their government wherever they were, but plenty of people didn’t agree with their 99,999 geographically closest friends.

Democracy of today’s society is dictatorship without the bitterness.

At the current mental maturity of the human species, democracy is as barbarian and degrading as dictatorship - it just doesn’t feel that way, because of the illusory sense of control.

Democracy at the current evolutionary stage is a glorified fallacy.

Democracy is illogical at the moment, because the masses are not qualified to choose anything.

The smart people who are too smart to vote, they are governed by the decisions of the idiots who do. - Plato, 380BC
