This makes gerrymandering the worst political idea in history
Show this thread
“I cut the cake, you pick your half” is basically the only good political idea anyone has ever had. Everything else is either derived from that, or self-serving behavior dressed up to look like an idea.

if you don’t giggle at the absolute perfection of this principle it’s because you’re upset that every political philosophy you’ve advocated is useless by comparison or are well-adjusted enough to have internalized it and don’t have to constantly rederive fair political principles

It's a beautiful idea, but not really political (politics is about groups over time; this is a mechanism for a 2-person 1-shot transaction). If you scale it up to politics level, it becomes Rawls veil of ignorance I think.

Problem is that unlike the simple version, the scaled up one won't work without additional mechanisms.
