Just like 16 years old people can’t vote because too young, 80+ years old people should not be able to vote, most of them are too distant from everyday reality of younger people to be able to take a wise decision for the community and also often stick with (way too) old ideals from their years

    Strong agree! BUT, education for the same has to be robust. Critical thinking skills, cognitive biases, logical fallacies, propaganda resistance, etc. must be hammered into kids in school.

    I would go ahead and say that competency tests must be required too (made maybe by a supermajority of a committee appointed through sortition?).
