Announcement: I have changed my argument for why voting is useless (but not my claim that it is useless.) @DanielPryorr take note. 1/

Rather, politics acts as a giant swarm of runaway feedback loops generating anti-knowledge. The effect is similar: you don't know shit. 7/

In sum: If the vote goes 50-50, you should be suspicious of your belief that Hillary - Trump ~= $300 billion. You're just another mark. 8/8

If education, IQ, political-informedness, etc. matter >0, ppl w/ more of these should beat average. Are you saying all literally 0?
-
Are you arguing we should restrict the franchise to people with 120+ IQs?
-
Sorry, that was unwarranted snark on my part.
-
Seriously though: I do not believe that education, IQ, or political informedness matter significantly. Not 0, but epsilon.
-
Education is mostly a marker of class identity. High IQ means you know 2ε instead of ε. Informedness ~= pro wrestling fandom
-
Again: if you're relying on the 50-50 vote scenario, you need to take that scenario as data to modify your prior.
