No one asked for AI to appear all of a sudden. As a university professor, I certainly did not ask for the invalidation of essays and other useful teaching tools. I don't even think OpenAI knew the consequences.
But AI is here, and mitigating the bad & gaining from the good is important now.

Under first-past-the-post, a few ridings can decide everything.
Proportional representation shifts power back to voters across the country and limits the ability of parties to win majorities with shrinking support. It strengthens accountability and reduces regional divisions.

One thing about climate change: it disproves the capitalist ideology that poor people's suffering is their own fault.
Billionaires emit as much in a day as the world's 4 billion poorest emit in a yr, yet those 4 billion humans suffer most from climate impacts.
This is inequality, and it is evil.

Populists rely on the widespread perception that their actions are supported by "the majority" and "common people."
