I can’t remember how to change this, but I really don’t need an email every time one of my websites automatically updates one of its plugins. Just do it. That’s why I enable the auto update. I don’t know what it’s doing anyway. #Wordpress

@Uair I express no opinion on this topic—rather I’m just answering the person’s question.
Anyway, that’s what I have for this round! Curious what y’all think about these different approaches/alternatives to democracy.
Thanks to Nate C. for the suggestion!

Wanna read more? Burnheim’s The Demarchy Manifesto is over at Amazon, if you’re curious: https://amzn.to/4l6gN25
This concept was first laid out by the late Australian philosopher John Burnheim. He wrote about it in his 1985 book “Is Democracy Possible” as such:
Rather than having one representative vote on everything, why not have 15 groups focused on specific areas? One group may only focus on transportation. Another may only focus on schools.
And because we swap them out every single year, it diffuses influence so no one person/group gets too powerful.
The idea, essentially, would be to defuse the political nature of government by turning it into collective problem solving on specific issues among relatively objective people. Kind of like how a jury is supposed to be able to look at a legal case objectively.
