A friend shared this video on facebook. 
Cheetolini is now trying to postpone elections 
That cited video does a nice job of highlighting the conflict between anonymity and transparency/trust.
IMO, the best way to be "more efficient" is to get rid of representational government altogether. There are good questions as to whether this is a realistic model to continue with in the modern era. Not even just things like quadratic voting. Even take things akin to eToro's copied trader model as essentially a weighted proxy vote.
It is almost never said: immigrants make some of the best “model” Americans.
I’m flattered, but also not much of a Christian guy.
But I completely identify with the reductionist reference — the temptation to reduce people to their worst soundbyte taken out of context. Or even their most heroic acts. People are a lot more than those gross oversimplifications.
What’s interesting is I read all the headlines about that professor and saw exactly what he saw. But I also did not see the details he highlighted. In that sense, that professor represents so many people - from the irritated guy who yells a racist slur in a restaurant to the reporter caught tripping migrants in Hungary to the BLM protestor who tore down a fence at a building.
Something like Twitter is so overloaded with information, it contributes to a react-react-react siege mentality while discouraging any slowdown for thoughtfulness, contemplation, or listening.
We are all training ourselves to be computerized machine learning sorting algorithms, treating people like bits that must be shuffled into this categorization bucket or that one. Before moving on to the next. And the more we have constant and voluminous access to news, information, and the mundane incivilities of life, the faster we need to respond and the less we have to think. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Nice to see a rare article like that. It’s important to pause and to find the humanity in someone we know we might otherwise reactively disagree with and label before a pin can drop to the ground.

Can't think of anything positive except perhaps being a mentally healthier person to function my day to day activities. That's for sure a weakness. I do read about the views that I dislike (still not my forte but I have to read lots of things for my work that I oppose politically and morally), but I can't have people with drastically different views in the cycle of my friends/relationships.
But the mainstream media and the democrats and Antifa! They are truly evil, and ruining America’s greatness. Only a complete idiot would read mainstream media when you can hear truth bombs dropped daily by the Donald and his - best public speaker ever - press secretary! And voting democrat? Pure unadulterated evil.
The guy presiding over 150k + deaths in the first 5 months of this pandemic he spent two months calling a hoax and saying there’d be no cases or deaths in America, the president during the worst Economic quarter for GDP in US history. He’s wonderful. He’s making America great again, and the demonrats just hate that!

Of course it's a strong possibility that it's just a distraction from the disastrous GDP numbers. Trump supporters don't really care about authoritarianism and freedom. Everyone cares about putting food on the table.
