Working on it as we speak. Hope it will blow all your minds like I think it might.
It’s a novel game architecture that will enable a unique new art-style alongside custom physics to complement that style.
Will share more when I’m ready.
These hairy balls suggest otherwise
Good work, Lyle
This is always shot down because eventually someone in control will change the test to introduce bias in their favor.
But, what if: Make there be one concrete, completely unchangeable rule. The test must be a math question.
No hypothetical story to make the question ‘relevant’ (E.g. Bob and Alice each have x and y … calculate z). Just raw math.
There is no biasing a math question.
Perhaps an integral or differential equation with randomly chosen constants.
Yeah, it doesn’t filter for civic education.
Yeah, people could prepare and/or give out targeted explainers for the type of question after first voting/mail-in voting day.
Yeah, it will still let some shitty people vote and deny some good people from voting.
But there is no biasing a math question.
Probably will still have more problems in practice. Big ones being making an ‘unchangeable’ rule, or it being made ineffective by changing the question to something like simple addition.
Not necessarily saying this should be done or is a good idea. Just putting the thought out there.
Don’t need to know the best course of action, delegating to experts and others who are more capable of getting the job done right is literally good leadership. Your first instincts are already better than some career politicians.
Just thinking aloud now but I wonder if stochastic representation would prevent corruption… The average person means well and wants to do a good job. The rest are a loud minority.
Low-discrepancy sampling of the population too. That just means any sample of the total population will closely resemble the total population. AKA accurate representation. No unlucky sampling.
