Democracy is fucked up

[CapnAwesome]

I wonder if you are familiar with the concept of 'collective wisdom.' It's a fact that if you have a jar of jelly beans and have people guess, when you average out the guesses of large number of people, it comes out very close to the real number. Another good example is that when people play chess collectively, ie if 100,000 random people vote on what move to do, they play chess at a grandmaster level.

That's why even when individuals make it seem like democracy is just a collection of dumbshits making decisions, it works very well.
