Jason Brennan - Is Democracy Just?

[@wayne7936]

Hobbits, hooligans, and Vulcans. My new mental model for politics.

[@dogsdomain8458]

What if you just experiment with these in each state and see which one has better outcomes in like a decade

[@sorenkarlesson5736]

Making elections probabilistic was of the most genius solutions I've ever heard. It solves the majority rule problem to an extend.

[@MrAndrew535]

My understanding is that Plato was suspicious about two things both of which Western culture is demonstrably overly dependent, the first being the written word as a primary means of procuring and disseminating knowledge and information and the second is an over-valuing of Democracy as a political ideology and human aspiration. If this was indeed his position on these issues then I could not possibly agree with him more.

42:45 - I live in Norway - Trump was universally hated - I offered that bet to many many people who said Trump would start WW3 - none took me up. However, many did say he would be impeached, which I informed them was highly unlikely etc, but I didn't know that the impeachment process would be cheapened they way it has with its current usage.

Where are my fellow libertarian hooligans?

[@AbCDef-zs6uj]

I'm not sure whether it's all that great of an idea slamming your in-laws in public speeches...

[@KeithKnightDontTreadonAnyone]

The Reptillian Conspiracy still is more likely to be true than socialism- the belief that violence isn't violence when the state does it.

[@Lewa500]

That's not what socialism is, and you're clearly a hooligan.

I'd be interested in how unions can be blamed for rent seeking or was that just some opportune false equivalency / sloppy argumentation?

[@gcgrabodan]

Unions are in a way rent seeking because they fight for higher wages of their members while this may increase cost for customers of their companies, reduce profits for owners, and reduces employment chances for unemployed non-members. That is rent-seeking.
