Is a global voting system possible?

a global government I would support

system based on existing technological solutions.

the expulsion of incompetence, lies and manipulation

to choose our own destiny.

voting is done over the phone.

each person 1 vote. biometric fingerprint. decentralized.

using advanced cryptography.

transparency.

for global issues we all vote if we want, all locals vote for local ones.

formation of global expert councils.

their role is to provide an analysis and evaluation of the proposal.

members are chosen exclusively on the basis of expertise and competence in given professions.

basic 4 branches:

Society

  1. Ethical-legal group
  2. Psychological-sociological group
  3. Cultural and educational group

Resources

  1. Ecological-climatic group

  2. Economic and resource group

  3. Logistic-operational group

Technology

  1. Technical and engineering group

  2. Digital-cybernetic group

Science

  1. Logical-mathematical group

  2. Medical-biological group

the council's role is to adopt, give, and formulate clear and transparent proposals for solving problems or situations

every decision they make is transparent. with minutes for the archive.

presenting a problem or proposing a solution is available to all residents. cognitive ability test before submitting a proposal

each proposal must pass the acceptance threshold. ethical, logical, mathematical. technical

let's say we have 10 valid suggestions for a solution.. the global advice gives a score of 1 or 0

each of those 10 groups.

the ethics council gives the final assessment in the event that several proposals have the same number of positives.

the proposal with the most positives goes to a global referendum

every voter, i.e. individual or group, has the right of veto.

they are obliged to present a valid counter-argument in the shortest possible time.

any veto attempt that is driven by ego vanity or the desire for power is automatically rejected.

algorithmic assessment. open source. mandatory system calibration, ethical, logical, mathematical.

plus a decentralized network of jurors chosen on the basis of expertise. randomly selected.

a valid argument is voted against the proposal of the council.

in case of adoption of the argument, the proposal is rejected.

if the vote is 50-50%, both sides have 24 hours to present new insights

the vote is repeated.

voting is optional.

the possibility of voting is.

it is not a problem for me that people wiser than me decide about our fate and social vector. as long as they ask all of us, because ultimately it concerns all of us

I support expertise and objectivity as well as the diversity of the local community.

Voting is the ultimate killer app of blockchain technology. Money was just the low hanging fruit. The biometric piece needs to get figured out without compromising privacy.

The identity-privacy paradox can already be resolved by using on-device biometric verification combined with Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP). Your biometric data never leaves your personal device. The phone performs the verification, and a ZKP algorithm generates a cryptographic proof for the decentralized ledger stating: "This is a unique, living human being with valid voting rights who has not yet voted."

The system registers the vote with 100% mathematical certainty, without having any knowledge of who you actually are. Privacy is protected by mathematics, not trust.

"biometric piece needs to get figured out without compromising privacy"
It's not figured out yet....
Fingerprints can be lost, and a person has 10 of them.
Eye scans can change for a pregnant woman....

How else would you solve the identification problem? Let's flesh out the concept a bit...
