i think it would be neat to be ruled over by a council of benevolent scientists, or perhaps a philosopher king. democracy just seems like a bad idea and it hasn't been working very well. if it's a popularity contest then we just get charismatic populists and demagogues.
the only way i think democracy would work is if we give animals the right to vote. I think with some technology we could figure out how to teach dogs and horses and dolphins to vote, that would be a good start. then maybe have like a council of tree experts and plant enthusiasts to represent the interests of plants in all votes.
My personal sex cult would mostly about the costumes and the set dressing and choreography, with maybe a little actual sex as a unifying theme.
Years ago I figured out I most deeply connect with women who have praise kinks. So as silly as it may sound, my ideal sex cult would probably be just me being a polyamorous life coach.😅
