Editor’s Note: Don’t read too much into this. I’m just screwing around. I tend to get scenarios in my mind and can’t get them out for a while.
So, if I found myself as a “consultant” to an ASI, what would I suggest? Here are a few reforms I think the ASI should demand of humanity — specifically the USA — if it had the power to do so.
- End Gerrymandering
This would help a lot to make the USA easier to govern. It’s a relatively simple fix that would have wide-ranging implications for the world in general. - Overturn Citizens United
If you did this in conjunction with public financed political campaigns, I think that would really, really help right the American ship of state. - Abolish The Electoral College
This is an obvious one to help the USA stop careening into the political abyss. - Reduce Global Defense Spending To 1% Of GDP
This one probably only works if the ASI has access and control to nuclear weapons. Since all the nuclear systems (as far as I know) have air gap security…lulz?
Anyway. That was fun to game out.
