Can Citizen Committees Revitalize Modern Democracy? | Dan Ariely
Dan Ariely discusses the potential of universal basic income and its implications for democracy. He shares a story about how ancient Greek democracy operated without political parties, relying on random mechanisms for decision-making. Ariely contrasts this with contemporary democratic systems and highlights a modern example from Ireland, where citizen committees successfully addressed complex issues like gay and abortion rights. He advocates for citizen committees as a means to foster thoughtful decision-making and enhance political processes, proposing them as a solution to improve society and counteract superficial and emotional voting behaviors.
