"neurotargetting" is just advertising.
I think the authors overlook a more serious turn of politics in the past 50 years: politicians have monotonically been hoarding powers in the name of safety , technocracy or simply "trust us bro". This leaves the voting population unaccountable for their own choices, since none of their bad choices was allowed to affect them negatively. This made people vote increasingly with Pathos, aware that there will be no real consequences, or they will become a burden for the next generation.
- aspenmayer 2y ago> people vote increasingly with Pathos, aware that there will be no real consequences Isn’t this the same as it ever was? In this view, voters deserve what they get, yet are unlikely to get what they deserve, but should we will it different? Ought not a tyranny of the majority set the stage a for tragedy of the commons? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nudge_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nudge_theory
