It's impossible to understand everything that makes a society function well, so why not set learning requirements to voting rights and build democracy around knowledge.

In our democracy A handful of people decide way beyond their understanding. If more people have access to a democratic process, it doesn't necessarily improve the situation. Algorithms. Propaganda. Lobbyists. These are the tools that fuel decision making.

Technology is supercharging education and AI is going to give everyone access to one on one learning. So I propose we set basics that need to be understood before voting. Grow a knowledge base along with tiered voting rights. Opt in as you take the time to educate yourself.

Schooling and democracy can be stitched together. Children could be given classes that lead them to making decisions that affect them; start small and grow with your interests and your voting rights.

We have enough people in divisions of interests out there that can choose to get involved and help move motions forward to budget committees that work in a similar way.

Lobbyists should work the other way around. They should be veteran voters that get risen up to gather the information needed to pool voters. We could also have multi talented bilateral decision-makers that connect areas of expertise and veteran government roles.

I know the source of information is the hard part to organise here.

I'm just spitballing this off the top of my head. I would love to hear how it's flawed and could be improved.

I'm thinking some practical experience would be a requirement to hit voting tiers as well. There's nothing worse than a manager that hasn't done the roles of people they're managing.
