I think Aristotle is making here the first ever argument for "the wisdom of the crowd". (Politics 3.11)

He is addressing a very important question: What might justify a multitude being put in decision-making authority over the most excellent few from within that multitude?

It seems like we will need to revive this question and extend it to what the political role of LLM should be. Given that this is just a statistical aggregation of the wisdom of the largest crowd ever (the Internet).

For sure. Notice Aristotle says “a certain difficulty, a certain truth.”

Pretty famously, he does not end up arguing that pure democracy is the best system. Rather, “blending” democracy into other forms of rule.

there’s also mob mentality

crowds can be dumb and merciless

Just catching up after afk all day.... so I'm late to the party here but is this also the first argument for the decentralization of web3? Wen Aristotle DAO?

aristotle’s liquidity pool required validators who stake their ethos – today’s LLMs just index the mempool without skin in governance games. protocol v0.12 upgrades demand more than statistical consensus... but who’ll front-run the fork?
