i-Democracy: Autopilot of e-happiness | Solomon Passy | TEDxSciencesPoCampusDijon


[Music]
good evening I’m invited tonight to
share with you an idea which is really
worth spreading namely how to achieve
national happiness we shall use a
toolbox with great instruments inside
calculating voting and flight remember
this but to kick off I want to make a
quick survey please them how many of you
are happy with your respective
governments how many happy happy very
heavy very heavy for people this is
simply like not had much more than 10
percent I’m lucky I’m really lucky to
have tonight the perfect audience for
this beach let me first tell my story I
was born with because of a miracle the
miracle is that the bulkiness succeeded
to save the Jews during the Second World
War and this was how my family was safe
but unfortunately not in Thailand you
see the little point there well he
became at the age at your age he was
exactly like you student here in France
and the Nazi government took him to
concentration camp and kill early humans
my cousin actually Nazi government was
the worst in Europe and the only
indicator of happiness was to be lived a
life or to be killed in my childhood I
believe that happiness is a woman more
precisely my mother and because my
father was University professor to my
mother before getting married to her I
decided that all the luck goes with
university professors
since my heading you I wanted to become
University professor but the big
question for me up there
professor Lee was my first inclination
was to become professor in physics
because my family believed that Albert
Einstein was the greatest mind ever
my grandma would say I would like to
vote for e equals MC square and if you
ask him well grandma can you prove it
no I cannot prove it but I know that he
is Jewish
this was the first time when I this tool
that voting is a matter of religion
family I was able to go from advanced I
mentioned in computer science is not
graphical logic and these two are
capable to convert everything into an
armor and every dispute into comparison
of numbers and this makes dispute uses
my job was to upgrade computers but to
discover that the computer calculates
faster and better than any human being
was a big damage to my ego a heap of
middle matter and so electricity is
smarter than me
I just couldn’t handle it and I decided
to leave computers reading in the
skillful hands of people with much
smaller evil than mine people like Bill
Gates who broke the computer to our home
or Steve Jobs who brought the computer
to our auction now we can calculate for
within our pockets or Elon Musk is
currently implanting the computer into
our brains which I believe is a great
idea because many more people will stop
thinking and so I decided to quit Inc to
quit upgrading computers and to start a
branded myself during communism I was
allowed to compute but I was not allowed
to load and Goulding is a
decision-making system which was
invented 27 century
ago in ancient Greece so during the 70s
and 80s I was hippy long hair long beard
fanclub not worked very much on the
establishment and this is allegedly
politics politics brought into
Parliament and in Parliament I asked
beginning to quit the Warsaw Pact which
was the communist military organization
of the Soviet Union and to join NATO and
the European Union which became my dream
materialization of this dream came as a
result of another political miracle
possible probably only Bulgaria the
Bulgarian King in exile his majesty seen
on the second after 50 years in exile
sent region back to Bulgaria from the
political party won the elections for
the government and invited me for his
foreign minister he gave me my job
description description so you your duty
is to fulfill your dream table get into
NATO and the European Union okay your
majesty and the award for mission
accomplished was a hug but not as the
not Erika it was a rather well so on
fulfills a dream he is losing to me and
took what happens with people losing
their dream but this was not the biggest
shot we need to lose the dream the
biggest shocked me after 10 years in
democratic government was that democracy
is frozen in its original form invented
27 centuries ago it calculates votes it
doesn’t calculate consequences exactly
as in ancient Greece because elections
depend on religion remember my grandma
depend on prejudice and dogmatism this
is well opinion prevail over facts they
depend even on weather in my own
constituency at the Black Sea still
people were not going to vote and stayed
at home because it was chilly and rainy
and other people did not go to vote
because it was say and they prefer to go
to the beach
voting is as reliable as flipping a coin
rolling the dice or gambling and at the
end of the day very frequently democracy
elections lead democracy to outer
destruction as it happened to Hitler in
1933 and many more guys before and after
that my friends use them calm down calm
down this is not a problem given
Churchill said that the democracy is
imperfect terrible but the best amount
exists forms of governance I would not
want to buy this I do not want to see
that democracy is just post truth as
what is the worth of 2016 and can and
must not be perfect I decided to try
something perfect and back and
implemented back into democracy actually
I tried one of the most perfect human
activities ever remember our tool box
from the game I tried flying this is me
on board f-16 experience experiencing
the 9g environment
Frank is perfect because it device on
the perfect navigator perfect navigator
and the perfect navigator of land this
is the computer computerized autopilot
which calculates consequences and
chooses the best among them it never
repeats the same mistake opposite to
government-to-government which
constantly does this repeating mistake
after the same mistake 1 tspoon 3 4 500
times
sonic is perfect not because it is the
second greatest real known to man but
because the landing is the first
swine is about heavy memory in all my
incarnations computing faulting trying
man only twice I always ask myself what
is happiness what is happiness I met
while attending mines all over the
planet Henry Kissinger Dalai Lama of
Tibet Shimon Peres
all the Nobel Prize winners she bought
John Paul the second his mother that he
is today saying I visited the country of
happiness Japan with the Ministry of
Japanese with the Institute of happiness
with the gross national happiness index
with the resolution of happiness passed
through the United Nations and I asked
everywhere that everybody what is
happiness the answer I arrived to is
shockingly singing happiness is a number
yes Japanese is a number and you’ll ask
them what number according to the young
you’re not going to be 2060 anymore the
heaviest country in the world is Norway
with happiness index nine point five out
of ten the least happy that the happy
country is the Central African Republic
with 3.5 billion I will not explain to
the body and form of it behind these
figures all in my grandma would love it
but let’s focus on how to maximize this
number how to improve the Navigator
which pilots nation nations happens and
this navigator which pilot nation’s
happiness is governance governance of
the nation is about don’t bring in
relation to happiness
now let’s see how to improve the
government relatively is if you just
make one observation
governance is identical with piloting
not only visually it is identical
Mathematica because in both cases will
decide on optimal distribution of
resorts
in the case of piloting a plane we have
to decide on optimizing fuel cargo and
time in the case of government
governance we have to optimize between
GDP budget pension taxes healthcare etc
etc ever now we see that we have two
identical problems and one of them
family has perfect solution because of
the perfect navigator which is the
computer and the second one the
governess has a relies on gambling
because it has poor navigation namely
Elections our solution replace the
second navigator with the first this is
our Wow solution that’s it
ID inform democracy this is a computer
simulator or computer game if you prefer
which tests the leaders chooses the best
among them it calculates consequences in
5 10 or 15 years from today of every
potential Minister Prime Minister
president of whatever of the country and
makes and after knowing what are the
consequences makes the best solution
inform solution this is a big data
analytics big data analytics which exist
today we you can call it however if you
want brain with the joystick it is the
eye democracy is entry test for verbs
for politicians
it is autopilot and it is also lie
detector every politician will respond
is in something which cannot be
delivered will be caught by this device
it invites everybody to test but admits
only the best
this is licensed for government’s 27
centuries ago we did not have what we
have today
phenomenal memory phenomenal speed and
big data time and technology are moving
ahead
democracy is lagging lagging lagging
behind the good news is that what we’re
discussing today is not a new topic our
democracy already exists in embryonic
forms these are the awesome IBM
supercomputer or the test
self-driving vehicles even bus said when
one car can learn something the whole
fleet of cars
levy which unfortunate is not the case
with the government’s we do not learn
even from our own mistakes let alone
from the from the mistakes of our
neighbors let us collectively make an
experiment suppose all of us are on this
plane and we are passengers there and
out of the cells the pilot is
incapacitated and according to
international aviation authorities we
have to elect the new pilot among the
volunteers we have we shall vote in
alphabetical order if the first guy gets
50% he will go if he doesn’t get 50% the
second will go and we have only 5
seconds to do this because otherwise we
are improbable and we have only two
candidates mr. Pamuk oh and mr. Belmondo
these are the two candidates according
to the alphabetical order we vote first
for mr. ha ha ha ha in a good this
ordinance again who is even helping who
is voting for this guy one on one two
three three good for him the second one
is automatically elected it all
according to the National Aviation
Authority’s he takes the plane let’s see
what happens wow I’m sorry I’m so sorry
we should good why you choose put with
also we didn’t know something we did not
we we make an inform an informed
decision
the nice-looking double-dog
is only in turn in turning flight
attendant well the other guy the clumsy
bamako is f-35 pilot high-ranking gay
gamer and we even didn’t read what was
written on his green edition it says
that he is a gamer he is in game I
democracy that’s how it makes you
side with the election said they’d like
we just made it with this plane so thing
tomorrow when you vote in your country
our democracy will fix one of the
greatest paradoxes and deficiencies of
traditional democracy and it is that for
all those vehicles from the left-hand
side you need a license to drive the
only tool for which you do not need
license to drive these are bicycle in
your own country the whole of this phone
came to me in 10 years ago when I was in
China offices in Tibet Lhasa and dr.
Chinese friend of mine asked him you
have reveled in the Buddha Tony why
don’t you answer democracy some
elections he pointed on the other side
of the street that man was cleaning the
street he was dressed in a hardline
communist uniform they called Maoist
then Hitomi look if we have in actions
these guys will win the elections and on
the other day we shall lose senior
tenuously economy and democracy and the
my team and I started thinking of how we
can develop the solution which will work
equally well in China in the United
States in the European Union in your
municipality if you wish in your
University and we came with the concept
of the ID mobs and exactly like like the
Facebook started from the University
campus of Harvard University
it is absolutely probable that the I
democracy will start from the campus of
cells of genre I think in our democracy
will disrupt traditional elections by
education fasten your seat belts maybe
happiness be with you coming soon how
many minutes
[Applause]
