Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@therealsurya2 says : In my country, democracy itself is impossible 😂>> <<@TGAcobalt says : i have a better system: @Veritasium.>> <<@Hetu-gw3jk says : I believe that in a true democracy, the ideal is for all to be economically stable and have equal income, rights and opportunities. But it truly cannot exist for if all had equal incomes there would be no “rich” to go work for by the “poor” . Basically, what I am trying to tell is that if the division of such classes wouldn’t be there then no rich would be there no monopoly and no world leaders and politicians in absolute power like in an oligarchy. They wouldn’t be able to the “higher ranking” and make the average voter feel like they are the “supreme” . They wouldn’t have the power they have now my either ruling the poor or bleeding the average citizen by producing and selling goods at a high rate.>> <<@skipgiblets says : Isn't approval voting another version of FPTP? A candidate could get a negative score, but still be the highest score. Heck, someone could have one person vote them that 1 point higher to win, back to the dictatorship problem.>> <<@skipgiblets says : Interesting point, Plato said democracy leads to dictatorship without use of mathematics.>> <<@skipgiblets says : Interesting on the Arrow's impossibility portion. What's the difference between society and voters? Why is that relevant?>> <<@arielbeagle92728 says : It's a crime not mentionning condorcet lottery theorem. All the problems in this video are about deterministic ranking voting systems. But it doesnt apply to condorcet lottery which always chooses the best lottery meaning that 99% (when it exists) you get the "classic condorcet winner", and the 1% times when it doesnt, you get a lottery that wins against any other lottery.>> <<@dmacarthur5356 says : I always do a 2am burger ballot dump ensuring burgers always wins.>> <<@mupelwasims8863 says : Zambia has been using 50% +1 for a while now 1:19>> <<@zakhwanrosli3519 says : Democracy doesn't work because of conformity, simple as that>> <<@mendelslegumes says : 14:50 why allow ties?>> <<@WhoSays12 says : Democracy is NOT the best thing we have. Its consistently more fragile and consistently produces too much change in short time frames, which cripple any possible leader's ability to plan and execute long-term plans/agendas. A monarchy, and even Fascism, as systems of government, do provide much better stability, protection of the native citizenry, and allows for long-standing traditions and improvements. Democracy is short-term thinking. Its the fastfood of government systems. You get calories immediately, but the long-term results of that decision are either terrible or negligible, never good.>> <<@WhoSays12 says : I believe instant runoff is how the heisman Trophy voting works.>> <<@AbhayJaiswal-tf9iu says : Modi Binge watches this video at night>> <<@philis_dude9399 says : Or just have a group of people working together.......proportional representation, no leader, just people working together!>> <<@roanwa4712 says : The kumpaya moment is just superficial. Democracy will always be a popularity contest.>> <<@great_muppet says : The solution is to elect parliaments, where multiple views are represented and not concentrate power in a single person.>> <<@RobloxNoobwastaken says : Some people who are dressed in black and yellow disapprove of this title>> <<@thedislikebutton1907 says : Still Singapore's system is the best imo.>> <<@HumorouslyAlien says : Why do we refuse to develope a cellphone and quick vote??? One Vote one people.. We vote on every thing . I know security but. Thats another issue>> <<@Blafasel3 says : To me, the dictator argument is kind of weak. The voter doesn't actually know he is the pivotal voter and without thinking it through, I'd naively think any voting system would have this pivotal voter in some way or another (like majority vote, where the "50%" guy actually does it).>> <<@nahaine2476 says : Even if democracy is possible its simply two wolves and a sheep voting on whos for dinner. I prefer constitutional republic with a heavily armed populus>> <<@oriraykai3610 says : It's true. Democracy doesn't work. Kings that actually listen to God are better. Trump comes close.>> <<@JamesBond-fd6qg says : You cannot mathematically fault the one-man-one-vote majority rule voting system. You can criticise it ideologically, but not mathematically. That is a true democracy, and its purest form, by definition, whether you agree with the system or not. Whether that system is good or effective, is a completely different debate.>> <<@Rob73259 says : First past the post voting is still the best. Ranked or other forms only help to get people in the office that most would not be satisfied with and can be manipulated. In 2000 the professor mentioned Nadar as a spoiler. What he failed to do is go back 8 yrs when Buchanan was the spoiler for the other party and helped Clinton get elected. Perhaps these spoilers are the ones that rise depending on the political situation of the time to help put in power what the people want the most.>> <<@TunaBear64 says : 18:15 The pivotal voter isn't a dictator, nor even is pivotal voter The pivotal voter isn't a person but a group, anyone from the side of the voters lead to the switch, could have put B on the middle and decide the outcome between A and C>> <<@andrewlang687 says : Can some one explain why the "dictator voter" or pivot voter, isn't just the vote that pushes the majority?>> <<@brianbeck3054 says : Well good thing we are a constitutional republic and not a democracy>> <<@Firegod100 says : There's no point in voteing>> <<@Stu-of-Art says : Democracy does not exist, period. They sell snake oil to be elected. Then the following 3 or 4 years all this chaos takes place with the public not having a say.>> <<@Kauffy901 says : Democracy is not about making decisions at the scales where it matters. Democracy is a consent-manufacturing machine. It protects the status quo through appeasement-- as long as we all agree to abide by the outcome, then just being given the opportunity to vote will make us shut up. "How can you have an opinion when you don't even vote?">> <<@holylouis5205 says : Voting itself is flawed. It is a popularity contest rather than a competency contest. The most confident and media savvy candidate will most likely win. Candidates will always come from wealthy and influential people. True competency will always be lost and hidden aristocracy will always win.>> <<@igor10ms says : Condorcet loop is literally not a issue… like, in a REAL world there is NO CHANCE that it will tie>> <<@feuercorvin383 says : 21:50 No it's just the worst. Giving everyone equal rights to vote is a HORRENDOUSLY stupid idea. Every single true democracy lasted VERY short historically.>> <<@Somebodywhowantstoexist says : Why is Einstein catching strays>> <<@ajdarko8531 says : So THIS is how we got to this point in 2026. 👍>> <<@brinz says : When you add in radical voters, party voters and idiot voters, the outcome becomes lopsided towards a government that doesn't have the common sense. That's when you need a dictator to over-rule by force, the lunatic fringes. Neither system is perfect!>> <<@jessechanley8194 says : Democracy is not mathematically impossible. We could have proportional representation by party. We don't because the goal of the Framers was to prevent democracy/majority rule. Our anti-democratic constitution is a big part of the problem, as well as the lies we are taught about the founding slaveowners. Our crappy schools are also a huge barrier to democracy.>> <<@HarlemAnatidae says : 12:19 song name? Please>> <<@nielshansen6820 says : Seems to me that you suggest that elections and voting process is democracy in itself, which is wrong. It is a democratic process to facilitate Democracy and in a democracy people do not elect leaders, they elect representatives which therefore has a fiduciary responsibility to the people. Democracy is about the people and their rights and freedoms, which just about all elected governments in so-called democratic countries violate, which is an act of stupidity as they attack their own rights and freedom. If the KISS principle is applied first past the post is the best voting process.>> <<@Biggest_B3lly says : azerbaijan is very democratic 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂>> <<@StanislavBeneš-f9h says : What about lottery voting, everyone votes for whoever they want and someone gets chosen at random. His vote wins.>> <<@ProtonSpace says : It's possible, but not without a force above politics to make sure it's done in democratic way, just as in ancient Greece where stone's where being thrown at politicians that where in flaw, so considering the modern times we really could take institutions back to the people in a humane way.>> <<@SangamonPaulSunstone says : You need someone to explain the relationship between maths and reality to you. Don't they do that in your schools?>> <<@Icopyandpaste3 says : it should be managed democracy instead of normal demoocracy>> <<@77thAccursedOfficial says : This being dropped the same year as helldivers 2 is wild>> <<@Franco-1012 says : Democracy is impossible because of the people running it.>> <<@Hamster6162-e4p says : India was already suffering from partition and loss of wealth in ww2 in British rule . After all this unwanted rulers , India choose democracy. On the second hand China choose one party system . You can clearly see the difference.>> <<@Counting2amillion says : What if we just used the chess Elo rating system for voting>> <<@neilalexander8082 says : The approval method gave us the Borjas in the papal seat. So it can definitely still fail in its results.>>
