I don't understand how the n value is even calculated in the first place. It never really said. It seems like a rich person only needs to buy one more vote than the poor person to win. I guess this works if the number of rich people is much much lower than the number of poor people.
This is also interesting mostly in a theoretical sense. The rich would never let any system like this go live.
- QuesnayJr 7y agoI think he's being deliberately vague because the meaning of "n" depends on the application.
- bluGill 7y agoAccording to the Austrian school N cannot be calculated. There are too many variables - and the people change their values in real time for various reasons (including irrational reasons). The rich don't care though, because while they cannot calculate n, they can estimate it, and then go over by a bit just to make sure.
