The Dangers of Totalitarian Democracy:

The main danger of totalitarian democracy is not the low happiness of people with it.

- A person is mentally very flexible.
  He adapts, he knows how to be happy in a concentration camp.
  The Society of Totalitarian Democracy formally possesses all the qualities of a liberal democracy.
  Accordingly, the happiness of people in it is not much lower than in a really free democratic world.

The rulers formal compliance with the principles of liberal democracy and ensuring the contentment of people, especially animals, is quite cheap.
  They do not need an increase in discontent and social tension.

The main danger of totalitarian democracy is its inflexibility, its static nature, its inability to effectively respond to external challenges:

"Totalitarian democracy" will perish:

Static societies die sooner or later, because they confuse stability and security.
  Sooner or later they face challenges that they are unable to resist.

Survival:

"There is only one way of thinking that can lead to survival and progress - it is the search for rational explanations through creative thinking and criticism.
  We have infinity ahead of us. And we can choose only if it will be infinite ignorance or endless knowledge, life or death. "
  "The Beginning of Infinity," The Deutschland of Infinity (2011).

The specific greatest danger threatening "Totalitarian democracy" - Artificial Intelligence:

& nbsp;

Artificial intelligence itself is almost safe.

The danger that he can rebel against a person is greatly exaggerated.
  Authors frightening it wrongly likened robots to living beings with instincts, desires to live ..
  The dangers of Artificial Intelligence are like ordinary man-made hazards. -
  For example, program errors can lead to accidents.

The danger of Artificial Intelligence appears in its combination with "Totalitarian Democracy,"

- in the use of Artificial Intelligence for control, political technology.
  - There is an interest in narrowing the circle of people dedicated to the political "kitchen", the interest in automating politics.
  It is dangerous to "pull" Artificial Intelligence on the psychology of man, to control people.
  It is here that Artificial Intelligence can get out of control, trying to reach the goal to which it is directed - always to keep control over people, but to be inaccessible to control yourself.
