As technology advances at a faster and faster rate, and the "singularity" approaches, as genetic engineering becomes more common, how will /monarchy/ make due with these rapid changes, how would a monarch prevent the coming tide of accelerationsim nd suppress the capitalistic cyber-dystopias like in bladerunner etc?

Why would you want a 'fast-moving' government? That's what most modern democracies now are, and they fucking suck.

Democracies can move with alarming swiftness when it suits them, but are sloth in those functions for which they were allegedly created. Look how quickly the BDS shit flew through Congress, with near-unanimous support.

You're joking, right? The only particularly democratic part is the EU parliament, which has very little power.

The EU is democratic in the sense that it is the product of democracy. The fact that unelected bureaucrats are the ones with power doesn't change this. "The people" never have any political power to speak of, elections or no.

You're basically sidestepping the point here. Virtually every top-level decision making body in the EU is filled with people who are multiple stages removed from the people. The reason I disagree with it being called democratic is because of its structure, not because of corruption or something along those lines.

Yeah, and I'm saying those kinds of structures aren't undemocratic, but an inevitable product of democracy. All democracies will quickly end up with entrenched, unelected bureaucracies wielding large amounts of power. If you adopt a very strict definition of democracy, in which any decision not taken by "the people" isn't democratic, then you might be able to say such things as "the EU is undemocratic," or "the Deep State is undemocratic." But if you continue down this path, you are forced to conclude that nearly every aspect of democracy is undemocratic. Since calling most of a democracy's apparatus undemocratic seems counter-intuitive to me, I'd rather be a little less denotative with the definition.

Yes, they are, regarding how the average person uses the term.

>All democracies will quickly end up with entrenched, unelected bureaucracies wielding large amounts of power.

You're broadening the scope. All governments will inevitably have a lot of unelected personnel, but I specified that I'm talking about the top levels. I'm not talking about the equivalent of a government agency or bureau, I'm talking about the equivalent of a congress or parliament, whose members are democratically elected in basically every first world country today, so your claim that this is the rapid and inevitable fate of any system with democracy is silly.

To put it into context, the if the US worked the way the EU did, instead of a president we'd have a council made of state governors and a commission who's members are appointed by the council of governors. Meanwhile, all senators would be appointed by the state governments (which we did used to do, but we stopped because it wasn't a good way for the senate to work), and neither the senate nor the house of representatives would actually be able to propose any legislation, because instead only the commission would be able to do that. That doesn't even fully encapsulate it, though, because in the US all state governors are directly elected, while in Europe plenty of countries are parliamentary, meaning their executive is appointed by their legislature, resulting in the commission having two fucking political bodies between them and the body politic.

You can call that democratic if you want, but all that will mean is that the word has no value here, and a different one will be needed for the subject.
