From an American perspective, my first thought would be "how could this power, vested in the state, be abused by an authoritarian government?"
Why vested into the state? Its three of your fellow citizens? You choose?

Who decides that your decision has been proven impaired, and how?

I'm not posting this to be a pedant, but I had a bit of trouble understanding it.

>Ah, so a question: if your decision-making abilities have been shown to be impaired once, would giving veto powers on any large-scale decision to people you have previously appointed, be an acceptable solution for society?

...like a personal board of directors.
