>I want a republic where educated people have disproportional power to those who are less educated and produce less value

I assume you see yourself in the educated and valuable group?

And consequently, your choices and happiness is more important than some poor rural farmer? This sounds backward and feudalistic to me. You deserve the outcome of 50000 people's choices the same way they deserve outcome of your choices.

The government you (plural) elect is the government you (plural) deserve. If as a society you (plural) cannot figure out how to work together--due to ideological intransigence, culture values that preclude it, unwillingness to put in the hard work of figuring out why "they" feel the way they do, etc.--then you (plural) get fractious government, or what the Greeks called stasis.

> I want a republic where educated people have disproportional power to those who are less educated and produce less value

Because production of "value" should be the basis of aristocracy? And what is the definition of value? Does the uneducated farmer produce less value than the highly paid FAANG engineer? Well, if the transportation lanes get clogged, their value is going to go up in a hurry when there are shortages in the grocery stores. Does the uneducated garbage man produce less value? Well, stop collecting garbage in the city and you'll figure out what his value is. Does the uneducated janitor have little value? Well, have your company fire them all and you'll see what value they produce.

Plato saw the ideal aristocracy as wise, selfless civil servants, which seems like a better system. (Note that education does not produce wisdom. Some educated people are unwise, and some uneducated people are wise.)

>“Why do I deserve the outcome of 50,000 people's choices?”

<i>(In no way, shape or form I want to antagonize you, I want to prove an argument.)</i>

You deserve that outcome because:

· you're afraid of cops, SWAT, FBI, ATF, DEA, CIA, national guard etc.;

· you're afraid of DAs, prosecutors, jury, and judges;

· you're afraid of having a rap sheet stuck to your name for the rest of your life (+other lists that prohibits you from doing/owing/going A, B, C...);

· you're afraid of prison;

· you're afraid of death and/or what comes after death.

> I want a republic where educated people have disproportional power to those who are less educated and produce less value

That's not a democracy. That's an aristocracy. Who decides what "value" is?

Part of living in a society is trading things off. The system functions /because/ there is an opposition to keep the elected leadership in check. Living in a truly homogenous society sounds both dangerous and truly terrible to me.

If you are unhappy about the 50,000 "thems" that chose an outcome that you don't agree with, and you are unwilling to understand why the chose the way they chose, then you can go to the countryside where you can be educated and wise over all the farm animals.
