Social Dilemmas No.64
I wonder if direct democracy would work? That is everyone votes for everything and we decide every rule and government policy based on how the people voted. Would it bring the worst of us or the best? Or create more social and geographical bubbles with radically different ehtoses?
I feel it might be a bit like snowboarding; hard to get right at first, but once you get the hang of it, you love it and want to participate all the time. I'm sure that we'd see hard core lobbying at first by many special interest groups, and we'd have to suffer some lows before learning how to best navigate for OUR OWN interests. We certainly have the technology to do it...
