> a reasonable expectation of common sense/reason from your average citizen

Half the US has voted for someone explicitly denying science, half the UK has voted for Brexit, in some areas of Germany 25% vote for people just a few beards short of Nazis, Bolsonaro is still in office. The "average citizen" can not be trusted to vote in their own interest or in the interest of the future generations.

Maybe not, but in a democratic system the right to choose trumps any ideas about what you or some elitist group thinks is best for future generations.

Are you advocating for undemocratic system?
