Wilmington, NC-based human. Software management pays the bills. Cis-genderless is the closest I got.

Look at how culture showed the 70s as Bay Area hippies and Woodstock and not Lawrence Welk and The Dean Martin Show.

So who are the cool and who are the wealthy? That will be remembered.

That would be attributed to Francis Bacon, not Popper, and Bacon was an about induction rather than testing hypotheses as Popper would suggest.

But I'd point out that China and Muslim world had a fair number of scientific discoveries that the Europeans recreated later.

The challenge is that the more complicated you make it, the more side channel attacks become possible. You have some fun tradeoffs to consider, but I think it ends up re-evolving to parliamentary systems.

How do you know your delegate isn’t bought off on an important vote to you?

Do I have to consent to be doubled? - that is, can you use me as a proxy without my consent?

Is proxy voting transitive? Else, what happens when I go on vacation?

Right?

I still do not understand the Azerbaijan vote…

But Eurovision televote is basically the electoral college and as such is easily manipulated.

I think similar things happen today - it’s a function of schools not having enough funding and finding workarounds.
