Representative Democracy as Kitsch, and Artificial Intelligence's Promise of Emancipation: A Chapter from Global Modernity

By Marius Silaghi

The organization of societies, like architecture, is an art. Whether actually older or not, the origins of the concept of democracy pass through its most famous and universally appreciated instance known as Athenian democracy, as recounted by Herodotus. As a characteristic of the current social progress directions, authority-opposing trends of modernism and post-modernism find significant support in new technology via less falsifiable decentralization based on crypto-currencies, blockchain, social media, search engines, massive open online courses, and other products of the Internet era.
