Oddbean new post about login | logout @53de482a I think that would be an amazing idea, and I think that would come closer to my idea of a "participative democracy" type of thing. Anyone could get educated on certain subjects, then they could vote on those issues ! But then again, having that would make many politicians' jobs redundant ... So who's going to vote themselves out of a job ?? 🤣🤣
@fe164273 Anything that gets people engaged is against their interests
@53de482a Absolutely. Plus, regional management would be so much easier to implement, would be easier for people to feel like their voice matters, would get people more engaged since they'd be voting on something that directly impacts their day to day life ... As you said, it would be against all of their interests. I think Switzerland has something like that in place, they have voting over regions called cantons, if I'm not mistaken.
