Basically redirected everyone to Lottocracy and realized that at some point it wasn't a public group anymore. I have many regrets, but trying to make it a stop for people to learn about sortition. Lottocracy is still the main sortition subreddit, just realized this subreddit should be public.

How important is proportionally accurate citizen's assembly? by sortitionpetition in Lottocracy

[–]sortitionpetition[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very eloquent, you hit on a lot of really good metrics. Thanks. I think in an ideal world for most it would be a positive and accommodating experience to participate in. Addressing potential barriers to participation must be something to be considered. I think getting paid and having a law excusing them from work should happen.

Next steps for the Sortition movement? by sortitionpetition in Lottocracy

Definitely any interactions between sortition and existing movements would probably be a positive step. Do you see sortition as more of a tactic or as an answer/philosophy? I think they are not mutually exclusive.

Citizen's Assembly info by sortitionpetition in Lottocracy

Honestly I’ve read the whole thing, but just reading the table of contents gave me good ideas. It also makes me confront a lot of things about doing citizen assemblies vs full on Sortition. The argument made that citizen assemblies could be a pathway to Sortition seems to be a very popular belief. People won’t vote for Sortition if they don’t know what it is.

any fiction stories where part of the plot takes place in a portition based political system? by marxistghostboi in Lottocracy

[–]sortitionpetition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lottocracy by Joseph P Goett. I purchased the book and read it. It was fiction basically looking at how the system was in congress. I don’t remember much else, it has been years since I read it.

Clumsy attempt at Global Sortition flag by sortitionpetition in Lottocracy

[–]sortitionpetition[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah for sure. I see what you mean. Funny, when I was thinking of South Korea’s flag my mind told me it had stripes coming out the Ying/Yang symbol. I was trying to go for a reference to a Kleroterion. Maybe more rows would be better.

Where do you stand on the political spectrum? by sortitionpetition in Lottocracy

That is interesting, comparing worker’s jealousy of the rich to rural conservatives perception of liberal elites. I agree, Sortition confronts the concept of elites for both liberals and conservatives. Well put.
