This is an amazing summary. It has as much substance in one post as most entire books. Not sure how I missed it at the beginning of the month.

A direct democracy is possible. But not with voting. Instead the system needs several factors to work:

1) Epistemology that starts with identifying and solving problems

2) Trust and transparency with the system

2) Decentralization

We can start a new country and prove it. A digital country called a network state. We are trying to start one called LEADERLESS - a digital country without leaders.

Here is a video about it.

Here is an article about the concept.

We don't have to debate it. We can test it like a flight simulator.
