Why do you suppose a Friendly nanotech-equipped superintelligence would fail
to collect hundreds of pieces-of-green-paper as a friendly way to participate?
The SI that gets my vote will get more pieces of green paper than George W.
got... and do it in a friendly way... without any DUIs either. τΏτ

What a lot of trouble to prove in political economy that two and two make
four;
and if you succeed in doing so, people cry, 'It is so clear that it is
boring.'
Then they vote as if you had never proved anything at all.
