@Jdreben The good news is that if we change certain aspects of society, to place more belief in people's innate altruism, we can build a better world...

Not sure if I even agree with all of it myself, but I found it interesting and comforting all the same.

@nazgul Excellent insights. I'd say the solution may be #lottocracy

I was recommended this article by @sophisteuein (written by @alexguerrero ), a while back, and have been thinking about it ever since...

Never been tried on mass scale before, but if it worked, it would stop "them" gaining control.

@sophisteuein @alexguerrero I hadn't, but I just finished reading, and it was fascinating and persuasive. Thank you very much for sharing.

I'd recommend this article to anyone who sees this and is interested in politics or a better world generally.

I feel inspired to do a thread on my thoughts, if anyone wants to hear my humble armchair musings. (In the spirit of the lottocratic ideal I suppose). #lottocracy #politics #democracy #amateurhour
