You could designate a group of people to set your vote for you (since we are sheep, we should call them wolves, but of course that doesn’t strike the right emotional chord [except that it might foreshadow a foreseeable outcome of such a program]), and fall back on personal research if there isn’t a majority or supermajority or whatever.
