Metagov Short Talks

Abstract: Melvin K Oxenreider III (mel.eth), on "Democracy and Republic: Testing, Adjusting, and Automating the Ancient Balance of Power"

"In this short talk, we will explore the ancient balance of power between democracy and republic. We will discuss how this balance has been tested through time, and when it fails. We will examine the strengths and weaknesses of both democratic systems, and consider how technological advancements have impacted the ongoing war for direct and representative agency. By understanding this mechanism, we can work towards creating more effective and efficient systems of governance that better serve our society."
