Accidental Gods
Seeing Round Corners: Upgrading Democracy with Suzette Masters and Dr John Izzo

all the stuff I mentioned earlier.

Accidental Gods

But I think the causes are change.

And how we paint a picture of the future that the public is going to feel confident is going to take them to a better place.

Accidental Gods
Seeing Round Corners: Upgrading Democracy with Suzette Masters and Dr John Izzo

And I don't think we've been doing a good job with that.

Accidental Gods
Seeing Round Corners: Upgrading Democracy with Suzette Masters and Dr John Izzo

Yeah, another really easy question.

Accidental Gods
Seeing Round Corners: Upgrading Democracy with Suzette Masters and Dr John Izzo

In terms of whether I disagree with anything you've said, I would say...

Accidental Gods

And so I think what I've been increasingly thinking about is how you can blend the advantages of tech-enabled deliberative democracy with thinking about future generations and future impact and change.
