Gonna go out on a limb here: an assembly of everyday American citizens—picked by lottery, given the actual evidence and full range of options, and time to deliberate toward rough consensus—would not have decided to start a war with Iran. #Sortition #CitizensAssembly #DemocracyByAssembly #DxA

Insightful preprint by Mesinovic et al. @deakinuniversity.bsky.social and @monashuniversity.bsky.social finding that #OsteoStrong does not improve #DXA bone density nor #HR-pQCT microstructure or strength in #postmenopausal women with low BMD.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence!

The Case for Abolishing Elections - Boston Review They may seem the cornerstone of democracy, but in reality they do little to promote it. There’s a far better way to empower ordinary citizens: democracy by lottery.

Only one way for America to get a real democracy now.

There's one way for the American people to end that tour and get a real democracy: sortition.

Whether Trump is successful or not, the American system--with the exception of the jury--is not a democracy. But there is a way it could be: sortition.

Incisive post from @paul-melman.bsky.social: "Only by systematically building up our civilizational coordination capacity can we achieve the solarpunk yogurt commercial utopia we dream of." Amen!

If My AGI Timeline Is So Short, Why Am I Working on Sortition? I was at a political networking event recently and as is typical for the kind of scene that I hang out in, the conversation eventually turned to AGI timelines.

Assemble America's @paul-melman.bsky.social is back at it this week with a shrewd post on the implications of AGI for democracy by assembly.

"Sortition does not merely offer a more demographically representative body," writes our team member, Paul.
"It provides a superior epistemic engine."

Two years ago, our own @nickcoccoma.bsky.social made the case for Democracy by Assembly.

DxA “would amount to a revolution,” he says. “And like all revolutions, it begins in the mind.”

"The appointment of magistrates by lot is democratical and the election is oligarchical." Aristotle

For most of history, people knew this to be true. Athens used sortition to fill most offices. Venice used it for 500+ years.

Time to bring it back. Time for #DemocracybyAssembly
#DxA

5/5 It's time to make Citizens Assemblies the new paradigm of self-governance. We're calling for a CA in every state, and a People's Constitutional Convention. Because the test of a democracy isn't whether the people vote, but whether the people rule. #DemocracyByAssembly #DxA #CitizensAssemblies

One of the many flaws of elections. Time for #CitizensAssemblies. Join the movement for Democracy by Assembly! #DxA
