Programmer Government

1•goofy_lemur•1h ago
Hey I had an idea. What if we created the bitcoin for government?

So like a king sucks because it's the equivalent of one GPU.

A republic is better because it's like a big GPU cluster of hundreds of GPUs.

But what if we made like a bitcoin like distributed governance system that was like, I don't know, a million GPUs?

We have the internet which is like infinite bandwidth compared to human needs, so we have the bandwidth to link all our minds together.

So what if we did this. We had a simple program that essentially each person could host a node and get 5 random people's data, so like we would store data on numerous nodes for redundancy.

We have enough gigabytes, we could store a routing table for everybody's data in America since there's only like 300 million people, if each person had a kilobyte of data, it could be stored in 300 GB which is a lot but actually still doable on consumer level hardware.

So then we would have a routing table of which nodes has which person's data, and then we could query them and update them.

We would have laws submittable on friday of each week and vote on them alltogether.

That would be like 300 million GPUs!

Except we can't have women voting on male laws, and men can't vote on women laws.

I realized that men and women, although equal, drive different vehicles. For example only truck drivers should be able to make truck driver laws and only motorcyclists motorcycle laws.

So the women will have their own governmental system, but I think men should have their own for happiness.

What do you all think?
