Delighted to pick up my copy of Plurality: The Future of Collaborative Technology & Democracy by @audreyt.org & @glenweyl.bsky.social. I have written about Audrey Tang’s work in strengthening #Taiwan’s democratic resilience & her contribution to Taiwan’s soft power, so excited to learn more
You are so thoughtful!
Nothing is more important in shaping the future of tech than the builders themselves---so it's fascinating to see the unexpected electoral success of Japan's Team Mirai, a party of software engineers who are using AI-powered transparency and deliberation tools

@glenweyl.bsky.social explains why Taiwan’s system works at our #FreeSpeechSummit2025. Watch his full talk on YouTube:
The most commonly proposed solutions to social media misinformation and polarization are often a cure worse than the disease.
At #FreeSpeechSummit2025, @glenweyl.bsky.social discusses a better way to address these issues.
Do community notes work?
They are a step in the right direction — away from top-down moderation — but @glenweyl.bsky.social explains how they can be improved at #FreeSpeechSummit2025.

@glenweyl.bsky.social says superintelligence is already here—and it’s social.
He argues that it already exists in the collective systems humanity has created.

Delighted to be part of this key project to empower user agency, open source and prosocial ranking into social feeds. Thank you to @noupside.bsky.social and @jonathanstray.bsky.social for their leadership!
When pressed by @glenweyl.bsky.social on how free and fair elections would function under his “accountable monarchy” (where dissent is eliminated), Curtis Yarvin admits that his view of "free and fair" is similar to Putin’s elections.
I especially love Singapore's regular think tanks that inspire youth to reimagine governance. I once wrote about one of the ideas that resulted: A "wikiocracy." www.elysian.press/p/what-if-go...
They also have done more with Georgism and land taxes which I love than anywhere in the world…and have the most robust and scientific DEI-type system on the planet as well as incredible public housing…hardly Curtis’s paradise
Singapore has actually recently become an avid user of QV
One thing I love about this piece by @ellegriffin.bsky.social is that she gets that even the best cases of dictatorships are really just ways of implementing smarter democracy...shortcuts there, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse, but ultimately democracy is the good outcome.
The solution isn't to abolish democracy, it's to innovate it. @glenweyl.bsky.social thinks democracy could become incredibly organized and efficient if we catch it up to the times with:
Quadratic voting
Quadratic budgeting
Participatory democracy
And yes, automation!
So we're building a modern algorithmic feed for BlueSky (opt-in, of course). We want it to make you better informed about politics, minus the rage. Particularly to help you understand what folks on the other side think ESPECIALLY when you don't agree with them. Is that a thing people here want?
What did you think @gregmepstein.bsky.social ?
Tune in tomorrow night! At issue is the US, but the world will be watching: we know of "plural" watch parties on at least 4 continents.

Trying to be more consistent — just published a quick video on @audreyt.org @glenweyl.bsky.social Jacob Mchangama paper in the Noema magazine www.noemamag.com/building-a-p...

Should the U.S. be ruled by a CEO dictator?
Curtis Yarvin and Glen Weyl will debate this Sept 4.
Join via livestream or in person in NYC.

@glenweyl.bsky.social this article appears to point to Plurality taking beneficial root in USA finally??? gizmodo.com/a-kentucky-t...
This Kentucky example is a long running one yes
The livestream is free. I just registered. Very much looking forward to this. IMHO, these are the two leading thinkers in the world when it comes to what comes after the neoliberal democratic disorder as far as rule by CEO... or something better and much more democratic.
Don't miss my first ever live debate with
Curtis Yarvin, cited by @jd-vance-1.bsky.social and Elon Musk as one of their primary intellectual influences, on whether the US should be ruled by a CEO dictator:

Interesting paper that @noupside.bsky.social brought to my attention. I'd interpret the conclusion on bridging a bit differently. This suggests bridging works, but that doing it globally reduces diversity...yes! That's why we need pluralistic bridging: www.noemamag.com/building-a-p...
