Racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia are easy ways to spot someone who is lacking in intelligence.

that being said, I see democracy as an experiment. It's quite fascinating to see what happens when anyone who's a citizen, regardless of contribution to society(which indeed does vary depending on who you ask) or lack thereof. All inevitable corruption aside(Fate of Empires and such), is it better to let the people have a say? I would argue yes despite my incredible cynicism. Because the chances of it working outweigh the lack of democracy.
But of course, nothing good lasts for very long, or stays good.

Instead of voting for a person, let the computer present a little quiz with "what is your stance on..."; and then offer the answers the participating politicians gave - without mentioning who said what so that people are not swayed by a person or party name but by his or her arguments. After 15 or so questions, the party whose viewpoints correspond the most with that of the voter gets the vote.
The results might be interesting.

I want to start a thread on the topic but I'm not sure when would be the best time to do so. Last week the 4th graders used coasianism to determine which book they are going to read. Today they used it to choose which of their classmates will be in charge of their IRS. So not only is the class implementing coasianism... they are also implementing pragmatarianism. The kids who are compensated will be obligated to allocate a percentage of their compensation to the class/school goods which match their preferences. This means choosing a student to be in charge of each of the different "departments".
The students plan on using coasianism to choose a class...
- name
- flag
- song
- motto
- plant
- mammal
- bird
- fish
- insect
Should I create a thread now to share the preliminary results... or should I wait until there are more results to share?
