Take over a country and rule through a submissive preexisting power structure with the goal of extracting the countries natural resources. How very British Empire of Trump.

One big assumption in "Dark Forest" is that there is no defense against star killing weapons. In all of our history, people have designed defenses to meet any new offense. Why wouldn't countless civilizations not learn when countless others are destroyed? #darkforest #fermiparadox

Fermi Paradox: I don't think you can have a Dark Forest - The Great Filter would have removed any civilization that had such a paranoid mindset.

I think this disproves the Fermi Paradox. If we just got around to noticing "a runaway black hole 10 million times larger than the sun, rocketing through space at a staggering 2.2 million miles per hour", then maybe there are plenty of other things we haven't found yet.

Gerrymandering has gotten out of hand. Voters should choose their representatives; Politicians should not choose their voters.
I think political districts should be based on counties and the number of representatives per county would be based on population. This would make gerrymandering harder.

We should remove the President's ability to commute or pardon criminals. Trump has shown no one person can be trusted with this power. This would be a good first step to ensure the current or any future President will not become a King.
