It is curious that the proposed solution is to place a computer between people who are unable to discuss issues rationally. Computers are dumb machines, and cannot solve this problem. Too many people think they are omniscient. They do not believe decisions should be based on facts instead of propaganda. Most egregious example of dysfunction is the ACLU board member in Colorado who called for killing Trump supporters. The former defender of protected speech has become a censor of speech. Too many dumbed down politicians are role models for bad behavior, beginning with the legend in his own mind in the White House. Then there are charming and thoughtful Iranian and Muslim power holders.
[From article]
Will politicians even care, considering many are what David Wellington, the author of The Cyclops Initiative, describes as, “having disdain for the American people. Many politicians don’t see their constituencies as human beings, but rather as numbers on a page. For career politicians, on both sides of the aisle, it’s about how much power they can gain and not about how to help people. Politicians seem to forget that they are supposed to represent the people.”
