I take myself to be more of a skeptic than a critic regarding democracy. I agree that some measure of the expression of the people’s ‘will’ seems necessary to satisfy the definition of democracy. Perhaps that could be done by vote, but I reject the assumptions necessary to synthesize a totality of votes into an expression of the people’s will.
I am all in with the transparent technologies that allow for communities of like minded people to emerge through the exchange of ideas. The technology you are building may have some value in the communities that accept that technology. In those communities where it is imposed, I will always have doubt.
Thus I am here, on nostr.
