The advantage with democracy is that it is slow and most of the time end up with fairly sensible results. Decisions are often so complex that it is impossible for one person to actually understand it all. A consortium of advisors could fill that role, but they have to be benevolent and trustworthy too. Their decisions have to be based on something, so the advisors need researchers and people gathering intelligence and statistics. Those people also have to be trustworthy.

All these layers have to be with as benevolent as possible. In a well functioning democracy, all layers would feel safe. It is really important to be safe from harm when giving bad news, or telling the dictator/advisors that their idea is really dumb, and would be a waste of resources or have a bad effect.

You could argue that a benevolent dictator would welcome bad news, other arguments. However the difference in power would certainly make it scary anyways.

Succession is another issue, and mental decline. Some people become quite mean in old age.

The closest thing I could envision might work is some sort of semi-democratic technocracy. I still think improving democracy is better though

Watch videos from these three and you will learn a lot:

Plain Bagle

Two Cents

Avoid any youtubers that give advice on specific stocks to buy. All mentioned above are professionals, with different specialities within finance and personal finance.

Also be very skeptical about cryptocurrencies. If you really want to invest in it, then consider a very low allocation. Maybe 1-2% of your net wealth. Most cryptocurrencies and projects are a scam. The youtubers I suggested do not promote crypto, or specific stocks.

I am not a professional, so keep that in mind :)

Do you not like beef? Or was it another reason you wanted to avoid eating it?

Why is this being downvoted? Its an unpopular opinion.

That seems a bit tedious

Google Pixel because of GrapheneOS

i also really like Fairphone. In a perfect world the fairphones would have the same or equivalent security chip as the Pixels. I'd really prefer to buy a european smartphone due to privacy and install GrapheneOS.

GrapheneOS is a must for me.

I prefer GOG, due to being being DRM free.

On Linux I just use Heroic Games Launcher to install the GOG games and launch them. Its just as easy as proton on Steam
