You did write a long post on different systems for discussion and you did ignore it in that post.
Within your list you didn’t discuss systems that have shown to work in the real world to solve the kind of issues that you want to solve.
If you don’t like LessWrong as an example take an online community like Wikipedia as an example. If you don’t know the specifcs of any system that actually works in the real world, you are in a poor position to propose new system.
(if you think that my definition of “insane government” isn’t very good, please understand that I live in a shitty little third-world country where the most troubling problems of the government is corruption and inefficiency, not whether or not the government should raise taxes)
I would say that in the US corruption and government ineffiency are also central problems.
If you however want to solve those kinds of problems in your country than you have to choose. One way would be to get the IWF to promote some Good Government program in your country in a top-down way. The other way involves finding supporters in your own country.
For both strategies I doubt that the LessWrong public is the right audience. Join/found some Liquid Feedback based political party in your country.
You might even try to adept Liquid Feedback to be more Delphi like.
Because I think lack of consensus is one reason why our kind can’t cooperate.
One of the most effective calls for support to highly intelligent nerds was probably Julian Assange’s call that among other thing involved him telling the audience that they won’t get Christmas presents when they don’t cooperate. Julian Assange didn’t try to organise some vote to get consenus.

I thought it would be unnecessary, as I thought the people here would already know and it would be repetitive to do reiterate what is already known here. I’ll try to see if I can come up with some description of the local status quo, then, and edit the article to include it. I’m a little busy, Christmas is important in this country.

Huh? These are techniques that have been studied with papersbackingthem (at least according to some very basic searches through Google). I have no idea how good those papers are, but maybe you do. Can you show some study specifically showing that Delphi works worse then typical internet forums?
take an online community like Wikipedia as an example.
Again, since LW also has a Wiki, I thought it would be superfluous to add it to the article too. I’ll find time to update it then.

Thank you for this information.

Being a heretic is hard work.

Okay.
