I appreciate your optimism and tend to agree. I personally haven’t grown cynical with democracy. Just with the EU parliament, most recently wrt ChatControl. I think democracy works relatively well in smaller units e.g. in Germany. I’m also genuinely intrigued by Switzerland’s decentralized canton model with more direct democracy and localized policy.

We can certainly take the logic in this post to follow that we are now in an era where the messaging layer travels faster and is much more informative than our legislative layer. If we don't find ways to upgrade the way we elect our representatives and keep them accountable our laws and civil society will lag behind the speed of the internet (both money and information)
