@alxcndr@mastodon.social ok, let's say that we have a vote on whether we should invest in special docks for importing natural gas from Kuwait via ships, so that not all our gas comes from Russia. How do you expect non-experts (i.e. majority of people) to know if such investment is a good idea? They don't have idea how this whole transfer-gas-by-ship works.

@Wolf480pl@niu.moe you need to give them time. You assume that democracy = vote. Again, it doesn't have to be. Look at this video on sortition for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS9EMvbBq_U Note how much it stresses the importance for people to be given time and discussion about a topic.
