Generally, the reason why everyone is able to vote is due to the theory that "government should move slowly". It takes a long time for a massive audience to change their mind/habits/voting. But much faster for individuals, especially highly educated individuals.

I genuinely believe we need to replace government with artificial intelligence. It would be a much better system for balancing immediate concerns with long-term collective issues. We could have an app to vote on specific things, so the system's flexible and working for us.
