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.

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.

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?
