Hello!
I recently posted a request for feedback about Persistent Democracy and persistentdemocracy.org: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/ax8fod4R7ihTxh3kv/persistent-democracy-request-for-early-feedback
The feedback I got didn't critique Persistent Democracy as much as it critiqued Democracy in general. I think it's crazy for Effective Altruists to not be committed to Democracy in principle, so the talk counters that position and argues that Democracy is only broken because we use ineffective systems.
Some of the talk will be familiar, but much of it is novel and discusses how Persistent Democracy could go beyond already proposed voting reforms.
