  Who says it’s unauthorized? I set the pressure

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CGP Grey - The Rules for Rulers⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Something that i think is important to understand about this, and while Grey does mention it, its brief and towards the end, is that this framework isn’t particularly unique to governments. These patterns show up in human organization at basically every level.

  So I’m going to push back on the idea that

  this is horrible and this system should be abolished

  Depending on what “this system” means to you.

  I think it’s much more useful to understand the incentives at play and build systems that minimize the damage consolidated power can do, and limit the ability for power to accumulate. That is… very much easier said than done, but I think it’s needed effort.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CGP Grey - The Rules for Rulers⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s right.

  While the video is a good summary of the framing of the book (the selectorate theory of politics), I still recommend reading the book if you find the topic interesting. They go into a bunch of case studies on how you can apply the framing in wildly different circumstances, and make a very compelling case for how increasing the numbers of participants in a system improves the outcomes for everyone involved.

  This video, and the book it’s based on, unironically started my transition from neoliberal to socialist.
