What stereotypes?

Coding with AI is really leaves you in a similar mental state as if you've just scrolled tiktok reels during that time.

In right conditions, FPTP ticks more boxes than most give it credit for. Example, if your population is largely illiterate, or if there's too many social divisions within your society, having cardinal voting system can actually be worse. These were some of the reasons India, post Independence, chose the FPTP over other systems like MMP or STV. Yes some Indian Independence leaders felt that MMP and STV would pull India further backwards, hence they chose FPTP.

The problem is, an electoral system chosen according for needs of society 80 years ago might not be suitable for one of today. Especially today, the biggest concern of literacy has been solved. But unfortunately electoral systems are quite frankly, super rigid, something you almost cannot change once you establish one.

This piece of Information I shared with you is why I wish people and experts should explore sortition. Electoral systems aren't flawless, and especially in current form they're really flawed.

Edit: also regarding people in power, yes while they cannot piss of a majority, they can easily scapegoat a minority

My critique of electoral systems are more of popularity contests. I wish to explore a system that doesn't involve huge capital expenditure or large invasive campaigns. Hence I started this sortition community.

Also thanks for bringing up STAR voting system. I learnt something new today.

Nope it's not.

Look, most of the taxes are paid by the people, do you think the billionaires are gonna spare a dime? Where UBI is needed, there's most likely an entire population of working class that's not generating any tax revenue, and is a net negative for the government. And tax money isn't just meant to be distributed to the people, it's for also maintaining infrastructure and building new ones. You realise how much of burden would UBI be on the government? Do you think they can still maintain roads and fund libraries/universities if most of their treasury is being spent on paying people an income?

I don't think UBI is practical at all. Ground reality is, even governments have finite resources. We genuinely need better plans than just relying on UBI as solution.

A modbot. From what I've read, mod can remove another mod from a community as long as they're older than them. So a modbot that's installed in a community, that does 2 things

1. Conduct the process of sortition
2. Remove mods after a time interval Can in theory do the job perfectly.

I would love it if you could share the details of it.

The mods themselves would be selected via sortition in future

While completely overlooking how people are a product of both nature and nurture. Einstein, with an estimated iq of 160, would mean he's one in 10000 in terms of iq, implying there's already hundreds of thousands of Einstein's out in the wild we haven't found yet.

Honestly, biggest issue I have with anarchism is it needs a very high trust society to start with.

But anarchists are welcomed here, I believe electoral, sortitional and anarchist democracies are all different paradigms towards the same goal.

Except electoral systems are getting more and more detached from what public wants. And the incentives just aren't there to fix them.

Even with voluntary anarchism it's high social trust, but then again, I know more about sortition than anarchy so I'm open to learn how they approach governance.

The modbot should not let that happen.

Community building doesn't go the way I thought.

How interesting their paid tier has no mention of being ad free

What's even left on lemmy if you block everything left leaning? Might as well not come to this place

The confrontation, shared in a video that has circulated on Reddit, centres on a simple but uncomfortable question: should a doctor be wearing glasses with a built-in camera while examining a patient in an intimate clinical setting?

I hate it when articles do this. Firstly, answer is NO. secondly there's nothing uncomfortable about the question itself because answer is a NO, third there's no need to frame a clear violation of privacy as a question. If it's not acceptable to pull out a phone and start recording in that situation, then it's clearly not acceptable to wear those glasses.

True, Lemmy feels this way almost exclusively because it's small and hasn't been noticed by mainstream media enough. The second that changes this place will become what reddit was pre-ipo.

Is there any particular reason for this?

Well squirrels are also strong enough to crack the earth in half, I watched it in a documentary.

Not just comments. Even lurkers.
