I’m interested in knowing your opinion on one of my ideas:
Instead of selecting 16 000 people at random and give them a vote. Select 16 000 people at random and give them a vote that can be passed up to 3 times to another person the former finds more competent/smart/informed.
I can totally imagine competent and smart people being sad of being selected at random while having not enough time to handle it (what if you just had a baby? etc) and would much prefer one of their trusted acquaintance do that.
The expected consequence would be that instead of having 16 000 people selected you’d have 16 000 people selected as competent by their close peers.
Also to reduce the possibility of threatening someone to pass their vote, the random phase would have to be secret (your abusive partner wouldn’t know you got selected).
