@_PorterSmith @jokedao_ Love it. Definitely the most robustly crowd-sourced jokes out there!

[John Richardson @rebelry]

@divine_economy I like it. Although people who delegated early may be unwittingly penalized by subsequent delegations..
Another approach is to simply put a cap on the number of votes a delegate can carry.

Wow. Deepmind does it again.

Today in partnership with @emblebi, we’re releasing predicted structures for nearly all catalogued proteins known to science, which will expand the #AlphaFold database by over 200x - from nearly 1 million to 200+ million structures: https://t.co/GjVES2pBFY 1/

@BenWest @VitalikButerin @PGarimidi @cdixon @Tim_Roughgarden @skominers @ethelo Once raw influence is figured out, we can deploy new approaches - like liquid trust and multi-attribute decision-making. https://t.co/gJS3YxUh1F

@BenWest @VitalikButerin @PGarimidi @cdixon @Tim_Roughgarden @skominers @ethelo I agree with @vitalikButerin . actually eDemocracy DAO is a legal coop; 80% board seats by 1human 1vote, 20% board seats by investor shares.

30% was seen as the max influence for whales in https://t.co/trm4fj9Ppp

@getgovr Hi can you have your CEO Ryan give me a shout? He hasn't responded to my last 3 emails. I need to know if Gov'r is partnering with us on the Represent API project, or we move ahead without. thx.

@VitalikButerin Transferability has this danger yes - but eliminating it won't solve the problem and creates others.

We need systems of delegation that empower people to choose qualities such as expertise and values over personality.

Liquid trust can do this;

Look for grit, and passion. Desire to change the world a good signal. https://t.co/frak6XYpa1

"meritocracy" implies we should be judged for our successes, but i'm increasingly looking for the opposite of that.

how do we find people who studied at the greatest school—the school of failure?

@BenWest @divine_economy @chaserchapman @ethelo +1 the next step in the evolution of democracy will be real-time digital, and harnessing game design techniques to optimize productive participation will be key to raising our collective IQ and improving group decisions

This builds on breakthrough work by "Europe Talks" which paired up thousands of strangers to argue politics; https://t.co/hNG5yVY1xE

Convening 'arguments by zoom" is one of the deliberative processes that #eDemocracyDAO will undertake to reduce polarization https://t.co/lgz9tNF7Yd

"We should care about diversity of perspective..."

Talking about @usepolis and other similar pluralist mechanism.

Always interesting to hear what Glen has to say.

@joshalerner @ethelo Hi @joshalerner you are quite right - we used the term incorrectly here. While Ethelo can do participatory budgeting - and would love to do more of them!!! - many of our local government customers are just looking to do a consultation process. Thanks for the catch.

ohh. I think these truckers are heading for a losing battle in the streets of Edmonton..

Wow! Inspiring #ipdconf2018 session by high school students in Phoenix who have been using participatory budgeting to fund school improvement projects! These are the changemakers @ethelo
