Smoking Crow posted:What say you? Would you like to live in a theocracy? As far as I can tell, the primary selling point of theocracy over democracy is that humans are fallible, stupid and prone to corruption. Therefore, they are unfit to rule themselves and should be governed by a higher power that is free from such defects. However, this obviously does not apply to indirect theocracies with priesthood as the ruling class. Since priests come from human stock, they are just as fallible, stupid and corrupt as the rest of us. For examples, see pretty much the entirety of human history. Direct theocracy (i.e., a society ruled by an actual god or godlike entity) is a different matter. The closest implementation I can think of would be a society governed by a benevolent self-programming super-AI. However, at that point, I would expect humanity to evolve into a new posthuman species that would have no need for rulership or gods anyway.
