       @interfluidity I think the one innovation that could change everything would be to make it illegal to “deliberately or recklessly mislead the public”.     There are too many half-truths and outright lies in both politics and the media. Democracy cannot survive that onslaught; if the electorate is fed misinformation their votes are meaningless, and democracy is dead. We have to start being honest with everyone!

       @interfluidity only way to know what it means to clean a toilet is to clean a fucking toilet. government might not be any different. "the public won't preserve what it has no means of perceiving, understanding, and evaluating" -- maybe a system we can all take a shift in -- participate -- would do that. legislative work as jury duty.

       @artlung @interfluidity I’m a fan of citizen’s assemblies as done in, for example, Ireland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens'_Assembly_(Ireland) It’s a formal structure for involving citizens in legislative work.
