No Time for Castles: From Closed to Open Democracy
No Time for Castles: From Closed to Open Democracy For proponents of deliberative democracy, today’s representative regimes offer nothing more than illusion. Real democracy means people’s power, and achieving it requires out-of-the-box thinking. We spoke to political theorist Hélène Landemore about her proposed alternative of open democracy and what this would look like at local, […]
Democracy, truth, fallibilism, and the tech overlords
Democracy, truth, fallibilism, and the tech overlords In a recent conversation a friend of mine offered the following: “There would be no need to vote on anything if we knew the truth.” That statement has such profound implications that I will only scratch the surface of it here. First, democracy presupposes that none of us […]
What Else You Can Do
What Else You Can Do You’ve been radically misled to believe that the only thing, or the most important thing, or one of the super important things you can do is vote. Voting in a functioning democracy would be a fairly important thing to do, but wouldn’t somehow eliminate the thousands of important things that […]
How do we keep getting dragged into this electoral spectator sport?
How do we keep getting dragged into this electoral spectator sport? Ah, elections… Little more than a bare-knuckle boxing match.

Nobody to Vote For
Nobody to Vote For When I say there is nobody to vote for, I don’t just mean the familiar complaint that the candidates may be different shades of evil but are all too evil to support, that the earth’s climate does not recover one iota because some even worse policy has been averted, that sadistic […]

Crop failures have hit hard across Europe. Australia is under an intense drought. […]
Technocrats Rule: Democracy Is OK as Long as the People Rubberstamp Our Leadership
Technocrats Rule: Democracy Is OK as Long as the People Rubberstamp Our Leadership Technocrats rule the world, East and West alike. We are in a very peculiar ideological and political place in which Democracy (oh sainted Democracy) is a very good thing, unless the voters reject the technocrat class’s leadership. Then the velvet gloves come […]
Mere Anarchy is Loosed Upon the World
Mere Anarchy is Loosed Upon the World I have to admit that I was a bit surprised at the vehemence of some of the replies to my recent guest post, “An Open Letter to West Virginians”. Some of my fellow TBP´ers took strong exception to the military draft, voting, the political parties, and the existing […]
