My virtual democracy
I've come to the conclusion that democracy doesn't work.
Please, don't get me wrong I don't think this is a case of a kid growing up finding that the world is tough and lashing out at it. My opinion is that in elections people are forced to vote for the fittest candidate, fittest in the same sense as 'survival of the...'. A person may agree with a candidate so far but disargee (maybe) slightly less afterward, s0o this means a person isn't fairly represented.
And there's this freedom thing. Supposedly we live in the land of the free. Then why so many lawyers? Ok, that might have been a bit of a teenage rant. It's the product of reading about libertarianism on the God of Knowledge.
Anyway. I have decided to found my own country with likeminded people. If I can get off my ever expanding arse I might learn a bit of Java before I spend three years working with it and teaching machines to think, this will be key to my country. A small group of hackers (please look up the correct meaning of the term of the afformentioned God) purchasing a small bit of land in some godforsaken place like Siberia or Delaware and then declaring independence.
Now this is where programming computers will be crucial. As a small country we make the law, do we want to make a data haven? I think it might be an investment, and even if we don't we can simply export software and import everything we'll need. We should soon be one of the richest countries per whatever you care to count it against.
I've been doing a jigsaw of the world lately and I've come to the conclusion that a political boundry is possibly one of the stupidest things ever, but that's a rant for another time.
Who's with me?
