Haha, no need to thank me!

It was more out of survival instincts and gauging my environment.

Nice, that's on my bucket list.

Wake up, people. Reject mathematics. Reject formalism.

We're cooked. 😭

This is a really good response. Thank you.

I think we can have both the benefits of democracy being decentralized and resistant to systemic manipulation, and of technocracy having some minimum bar to deter ignorant individuals from harming society. There are trade-offs for sure, but currently, we the people ultimately voted for someone who openly said he'd impose tariffs (among other things).

One potential example (among many, many possibilities) is a system where academic organizations and think tanks stake their reputation to nominate candidates, and then the people vote on them.

For example, let's say the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) nominates a pro-tariff candidate to manage economic policy. And then let's say the people end up voting for them. After the tariffs wreck the economy, the reputation of the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) will deteriorate considerably. In the next election, the people will vote the candidate out and ignore future EPI nominations.

No, but I will by April. πŸ‘€ Thank you for the idea.

I'll reply to this post when I set it up. It's high priority on my to-do list.

Maybe I'm missing something, but can you explain exactly what's wrong with this?

I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from.

Go ahead! My knowledge is unfortunately restricted to the U.S.

It doesn't even have to be long or match any specific formatting. Just post a link for now, and then edit it later with more links/advice.
