Although I agree online voting should be obvious over the globe in 2018, what intrigues me more is why we're still using a system where the elected have zero responsibility with their campaign. Nothing happens if a politicians promises X and delivers Y or even worse, delivers the opposite of X.

In a civilization that has shown time and time again politicians are most often in bed with corporations and not with their electorate, why are we not using smart contracts for that? Why is it we are not using machine learning to find out when judges apply different sentences for the same crime depending on whether the accused is black or white, something pretty common in my country?

Since I first understood how deep learning works, I've been puzzled by the lack of verification we could be doing in order to mathematically detect corruption, injustice, prejudice, racism, hatred. All the tools are there, yet our laws and elections conveniently ignore those technologies and we're stuck in a system where we have to trust trust. What is so inherently good with the current system that we ditch mathematics, our most basic objective language and keep on using a system based on lies, promises that never come to happen and lobbying? There's something clearly rotten with the current concept of "democracy" being used in this planet yet the only tools which can fix it are ignored.
