2+2 = Democracy Sucks | Hn 66
If you haven't heard, it's election season. Shockingly, this is (once again) the most important election of our lifetimes. Adam and Tyrone talk about why democracy itself is awful. Along the way, they comment on a video called "Why Democracy is Mathematically Impossible".
00:00 – Intro. It's election season! Despair!
01:17 -- Democracy is trash, but that doesn't mean every critique of it makes sense. Adam and Tyrone dive into the video mentioned. "First past the post" and 3rd parties "stealing votes" are discussed. Adam trashes democracy. Tyrone promotes the intuition that "majority rule" just kinda "makes sense." Also, Adam answers the question: Why would anyone vote for someone that is sure to lose?
16:41 – Instant run off (or "ranked choice voting" is discussed. Tyrone offers a bold suggestion! Does RCV lead to group musical renditions of Kumbaya? Also, the maker of the video reveals a hidden bias.
26:35 – Finally, some math! Meh. Adam isn't impressed. Condorcet's method and Kenneth Arrow's Impossibility theorem are discussed.
28:46 -- Adam takes a moment to insult "centrism". This video idolizes the "median voter" whatever that is supposed to be. Adam objects.
32:05 -- Approval voting is discussed. Now we're maybe getting somewhere. Especially if it's weighted approval voting! Also, Tyrone introduces another novel political idea.
37:17 -- Tyrone reveals the essence of democracy.
77:14 -- Outro. This episode of Hn ends with Adam in mid-rant. Classic. Plus: Easter eggs!
