We know that we need to learn from experience. That's why DemocracyOS has only been adopted at local city-level where 99% of the issues debated have to do with every-day life in the city.
We need to learn the right checks & balances for an app like this to protect minorities and avoid abuse.
And remember: it's only the legislative power. The executive has veto power ;)

- rgbrgb 12y agoInteresting to think about it that way -- you jack it into just a single branch of the US government and you have some built in QA process. I'm assuming the long term goal is to connect all of these together to have a global state after they're already embedded in each country's government. All hail the internet state we build together (or our benevolent leaders who backdoor the version of DemocracyOS we're running)! In all seriousness, it's great to be able to think about using fairness algorithms [1] to literally write social contracts.
