Doug Webb@mattcropp @h @jd There is some strong evidence to suggest that there are real limitations to how much we can care: shared #mentalModels, #dunbarNumber and #cognitiveBias.
When we reach the limits of care, the limit of consensus, then #scoreVoting with the options of 'status quo' and 'none of the above' is the most cooperative #decisionMaking framework I've encountered.
I am writing a primer, but it's still in progress. Until then check out this article by a group of electoral reformists based somewhere in the States:
jd Ⓐ★😼🚀🌍🇪🇺🇭🇺@douginamug @mattcropp @h Interesting system, but I would prefer it if I could vote for parties like that and not individuals. I can rate a party by past promises, plans, and carrying them out – but I might like Angela Merkel personally but hate her party.
@jd I've only really been focussed on direct decision making. Voting for representatives is a meta-decision and quite a different scenario.
@jd @douginamug @mattcropp Idea bundles are limiting and hopeless, political parties as we know them devolve into an exercise in marketing and branding.
Granularity of every decision demanding input down to the individual level is hopeless too. That would require a full eight hours of every citizen, and I'm not sure that would suffice once everyone becomes a politician.
Various approaches needed depending on the timeliness/relevance/importance/gravity of the decision.
