Don't miss my first ever live debate with @curtis_yarvin, cited by @JDVance and @elonmusk as one of their primary intellectual influences, on whether the US should be ruled by a CEO dictator: https://t.co/LucLnu2npN
Human creativity is unparalleled: that's the driver of my talk at the @protocollabs Impact Evaluator research retreat. I discuss pitfalls of cybernetic systems like IEs, how humanistic design can overcome them, and give a case study with Condorcet voting.
