And people aren't rational agents. Treating them that way, however, is not only wrong, it leads to even worse outcomes.

Galton's pig weighing experiment showed that the average of popular opinion is usually accurate. What we have now doesn't fix anything that needs fixing. People are shit. Depriving them of their say doesn't make things better.
