      Great interview with @DavidDeutschOxf citing the GREAT Karl Popper Democracy is not about ELECTIONS It is about the ability to remove rulers and policies without violence. The more a system is conducive to that, the more it is democratic. https://youtu.be/xdtssXITXuE?t=225 …https://twitter.com/joebosphilos/status/1202271292096946178 …

      The ability to remove rulers and policies is far more important than choosing the right one. Because we can not know in advance what the impact of a ruler or policy will behttps://youtu.be/xdtssXITXuE?t=255 …

      The advantage of "first past the post" elections - (as done in UK), versus proportional representation - (as done in many other EU countries) is that you leave leadership maximally vulnerable to changes in public opinionhttps://youtu.be/xdtssXITXuE?t=350 …

      In a proportional representation system - the population might start to lean further left - and a moderate right wing government would then have to build a coalition with more extreme right swing, and thus swing government and policy in opposite direction. Or vice versa.

      Hot take - Britain was the only place Socialism was ACTUALLY tried and didn't lead to permanent damage Because of culture of criticism / trying things / and ability to remove bad policies and leadershttps://youtu.be/xdtssXITXuE?t=1157 …

      Ok so this part of the interview - where @DavidDeutschOxf addresses each of the major arguments in favor of Remain has completely convinced me that VOTE LEAVE was the 100% the right thing to do Possibly one of best politics interviews I've ever seenhttps://youtu.be/xdtssXITXuE?t=1338 …

      "A Rationalist is a person who would rather Not get his/her way because they have failed to persuade other people.. than to get their way by force" - Karl Popper Great definitionhttps://youtu.be/xdtssXITXuE?t=1308 …

          Yeah he states the axioms pretty plainly You can't know what is going to happen in the future - so you want politics to be a system of error correction. In UK, they tried socialism after WWII, kept the good parts and ditched bad parts - such experimentation never happens in EU

          Great point in this interview is when @DavidDeutschOxf says "A system that is good at error correction will MAKE MORE ERRORS" - and paradoxically this is a very good thing Like they say in startups - FAIL FAST. Prophecy is the opposite of knowledge. https://twitter.com/Conaw/status/1212893693021044736?s=20 …

          The best argument I've ever heard for Monarchy (Private Ownership over a soverign territory) was from the rascal Hans Hermann Hoppe - see @HoppeQuotes Kings have incentive to think about long term The mob regularly votes against their kids Counter arg:https://twitter.com/DavidDeutschOxf/status/1202290589242478593?s=19 …

          Replying to @ganesh__s @joebosphilos
          To carry through a beneficial long-term project which will do harm in the short term, a party has to persuade the electorate that this is worth it. And that is exactly how matters should stand: if they can't persuade a plurality to try it, it shouldn't be tried until they can.
