Lemmy World

Perfection

I didn’t have one. I was asserting the idea that people were going to attack your post for saying “Use AI.”

I hear where you are coming from, but you just said “Use AI” on Lemmy. This should be fun 😁

I am happy to concede that point.

That said, in the US, evidentially speaking, the current administration has a near all time low in approval.

I am not convinced the veto panels would be any worse off than the current administration in terms of approval.

There are a few ways that the Socratic position (epistocracy) could be implemented and he covers them in the book. I am partial to a panel of experts that can only veto laws in their area of expertise.

For example. Congress passes a law to allow offshore drilling and the climate change panel vetos it.

I am not sure I buy the conditional statement

“If a population is well educated then they will vote well”

There is a component of research time that greatly limits ones ability to vote in most matters.

Furthermore the afformentioned conditional statement ignores the litany of cognitive biases that would influence a vote.

I both think people have a right to dignity, which by extension means they should have a say of how to live their lives. I also think that the general population shouldn’t vote. Against Democracy is a really good read if you haven’t read it.

For the record, I literally will drive people to the polls (since our current system creates better outcomes if more people vote) but I do really wish that most of them wouldn’t XD.

I don’t know if it’s a location as much as a mindset for me.

I look for fallacies and falsehoods and should they arise at rates that would be hard to chalk up as honest error, I stop trusting the source.
