I am less and less convinced that more information is the solution. If it were, we would already have the most enlightened era of government the world has ever known, since far more information is available now than there ever has been. What we care about is narratives. And since narratives are fundamentally subjective, it's very hard to create a narrative that legitimately serves "the public good" while simultaneously satisfying the public. I hope there is a solution to this; I just don't think throwing more information at the problem is it.
