Thank you for your thoughts! You’re uniquely positioned to comment on this, so I really appreciate your opinion. I agree keeping the context *inside* the vote is optimal. I guess the question is how high does that raise the bar? Sports betting is a good example: knowledge of the context is implied, and not having it reduces your bet to a crap shoot. Which is maybe still fun? I dunno. Your idea of long-running votes would seem to align with what I’m exploring about strategy. I was talking to an expert in this field, and his angle on AI was if the bots are making our strategic decisions, where does that leave us. And the more that marinates in my mind, I come back to the idea that these lack-of-context, from-the-hip votes are maybe not entirely bad. Gut decisions are essentially our forte, because we’re actually *really* bad at accurate predictions, and have this entirely unfounded confidence in ourselves. And that maybe is the spark of chaos that’s needed to keep things from stagnating.
