Towards Democracy
We never had democracy.
We have never truly experienced democracy. Athens restricted voting to a narrow class: no women, no children, no slaves.
Today, we exclude children, we exclude those no longer alive, and our systems have no timelessness: each generation starts from scratch, divorced from verifiable history.
Our past is fragile; much of it is unprovable and may have shifted at decisive points. In contrast, information anchored through consensus is far harder to alter, making cryptographically verifiable AI more trustworthy than editable archives (like Wikipedia).
As a society, we forget within one or two election cycles, and coordinated narratives can turn lies into accepted truths. Even advanced AI cannot fix this without a foundation of verifiable memory. That is why we must build systems where our collective history cannot be rewritten. Only then do we begin to approach real democracy.
I am proud to say that today we have the complete stack of solutions for all these historical issues!
