The Swarm

Forget your egocentric, selfish pride. Don't make yourself look like a narcissistic fool! Ask the Swarm

— Kitaro

The Swarm is the people. No, wrong - it is the educated people.

One has to annually pass some serious, non-hackable tests on having enough contextual knowledge to vote on the topics members have chosen by themselves to be qualified for.

And because Swarm-members with great ratings for active participation, predicting outcomes correctly, and having expertise in several interdependent fields, are perceived as better qualified for jobs, Swarm participation has become a must-have effort for everyone who still needs to work for money.

Although the Swarm - from global to local scale—got a high reputation and trust across all social levels, it does not replace national, regional, or even local voting but has a dramatic influence on it.

Whereas voting is often too slow to keep up with matters to decide, the Swarm is 24/7 real-time - at least for a first AI-generated guess, which in the following hours is getting reviewed, questioned, analyzed, peer-reviewed, expert-weighted by human minds and expert groups who have been democratically up-voted for years as the ones who should know and whose peer discussions are publicly followed as THE only remaining, really trusted alternative to MegaCorps-owned channels.

Besides, The Swarm—or "SM", called by some childish folks - is not only a collaborative political, social, environmental, or financial expert system and therefore the basis of an increasingly emerging global scientocracy but has become THE social platform for the intellectually like-minded and serious daters. Many in permanent touch with global Swarmies around the globe have developed a vast knowledge of the plethora of angles a problem can be looked at and how many solutions are valued differently by different cultures, educational backgrounds, job levels, cryptos in the bank, or social status or family tracks.
