Though perhaps we should give it a try.
- WalterSear 8y agoA leader chosen at random can only be bought if all of us are bought.
- ocschwar 8y agoWhat we should have is an add on to the jury system. Every bill before a Congressional commitee gets faxed to more than one court house around the country. At each of these, a random selection of people from the jury pool is assigned to read it and vote it onto the floor or onto the garbage pile. If every bill receives this treatment, I suspect legislators would be hesitant to sneak things onto legislation.
- heurist 8y agoYou mean can only be bought before becoming the leader? Unless maybe the leader changes annually and is guaranteed to be unable to affect the lottery process, at which point at least the benefits of greed are distributed randomly..
- NeedMoreTea 8y agoThe top few posts of the reddit CMV thread that bdz linked further down, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18144082 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18144082, makes a reasonable case. Disturbingly manages to cite a relevant study too. Hydrobintocracy might be better than some of the other approaches humanity has tried.
