P: Lots of people get some of it. Very few people get most of it.

The only reason Facebook exists
October 7th, 2018 1:38 PM FACEBOOK: A REVERSIBLE ERROR The only reason Facebook exists, is because the government wouldn’t regulate spam, such that we could validate one another’s email addresses, and find, cooperate, and block others.

The Problem with Egalitarian Universal Franchise and Some Other Political Ideals
Ely Harman September 30 at 5:41 PM In any actually existing system there is going to be some unequal but non unitary distribution of *actual* power (strength, weapons, numbers, resources, wealth, charisma, influence, etc…) So I just think it’s best if the *procedural* distribution of power (voting protocols or whatever) matches that as closely as…
