@_InThisTogether By the way @_InThisTogether, I just saw this post of yours on voluntary democracy. My immediate reaction: the idea of sortition-but-for-juries is quite interesting as it solves one of the core issues with sortition-as-election. Specifically: even if a single random draw is bad, because there are N jury trials (as opposed to just one election), your sortition-for-juries process could be argued to result in actually representative government. I haven’t gotten through your full series yet but these ideas around voluntarism and new political forms are exactly the type of thing I’d like to see trialed in a new opt-in startup society. https://t.co/oDrRf5aRtl
