No. The billions will choose the most popular person, not the most knowledgeable. A small group can choose responsibly, a big group can't. That's why there are republics. ID: 1037185 ·

There should always be a right to opt out so that it's clear: "That person does not speak for me." And that is exactly how the Europeans easily overcame the natives in North America, and elsewhere. You cut a deal with this little group, then overpower that little group, and so on. Before you know it the white guys control everything. Hope the aliens haven't studied earth history before they get here. ID: 1037353 ·
