When pressed by @glenweyl.bsky.social on how free and fair elections would function under his “accountable monarchy” (where dissent is eliminated), Curtis Yarvin admits that his view of "free and fair" is similar to Putin’s elections.

I especially love Singapore's regular think tanks that inspire youth to reimagine governance. I once wrote about one of the ideas that resulted: A "wikiocracy." www.elysian.press/p/what-if-go...
What if government worked like Wikipedia?
Wikiocracy as the next phase of democracy.

They also have done more with Georgism and land taxes which I love than anywhere in the world…and have the most robust and scientific DEI-type system on the planet as well as incredible public housing…hardly Curtis’s paradise

One thing I love about this piece by @ellegriffin.bsky.social is that she gets that even the best cases of dictatorships are really just ways of implementing smarter democracy...shortcuts there, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse, but ultimately democracy is the good outcome.

The tech we invent now—AI, automation, satellites—can be used for great good or great harm.

Dictatorship puts those tools in one man’s hands.
Democracy puts them in ours.

So, America wants a dictator
Are we doomed to repeat history—or can we build something better first?

The solution isn't to abolish democracy, it's to innovate it. @glenweyl.bsky.social thinks democracy could become incredibly organized and efficient if we catch it up to the times with:

Quadratic voting
Quadratic budgeting
Participatory democracy

And yes, automation!

So we're building a modern algorithmic feed for BlueSky (opt-in, of course). We want it to make you better informed about politics, minus the rage. Particularly to help you understand what folks on the other side think ESPECIALLY when you don't agree with them. Is that a thing people here want?

The livestream is free. I just registered. Very much looking forward to this. IMHO, these are the two leading thinkers in the world when it comes to what comes after the neoliberal democratic disorder as far as rule by CEO... or something better and much more democratic.

Interesting paper that @noupside.bsky.social brought to my attention. I'd interpret the conclusion on bridging a bit differently. This suggests bridging works, but that doing it globally reduces diversity...yes! That's why we need pluralistic bridging: www.noemamag.com/building-a-p...

And thereby helps to some extent justify, I think, the deep mistrust so many have towards economic and money-based solutions to political settings, and possibly points to how to think in a way consistent with mechanism design past these limitations.

While this all may sounds ultra-econ-nerdy (it is!), it is really a deconstruction of the econ paradigm from within it, showing that the paradigm just cannot deal with a world of public goods/increasing returns in any meaningful sense.
