Ah, Quadratic Voting, very cool stuff. Forget all the stuff about the bees, that's just stuff and nonsense. Democracy, I think, really only matter when each individual is heterogeneous.
Here's some more on QV (ugh, such a horrible name):

Random thought, what about exponential voting blocks? Everyone gets 100 votes, but you have to spend them in smaller and smaller chunks namely: 50, 25, 12, 6, 3, 2, 1, & 1.
- notahacker 12y agoCall me old fashioned, but I'm not persuaded democracy is improved either by requiring that votes are either paid for or so complicated for the voter they require an instruction manual to avoid inadvertently spoiling their ballot paper.
- kleer001 12y agoThat's okay. I'm old fashioned too. I think all voting should be done with pen and paper. Electronic voting is a straight up scam. This complicated stuff , I think, is more about the science of voting rather than the real-world engineering of voting.
