Since this board is full of logical people (programmers), I'm curious to know why any of them think that a system based on tyranny of the majority would increase freedom for people?

Also, I'm really curious what sort of things you all think you can "hack" that will really make people more free. After this, will the NSA be gone? How about the entire military industrial complex and all it's mouthpieces on tv and in Congress? What about the drug war and the power of big pharma? Diebold? Dynasty families like the Bush's and Clintons? Etc Etc Etc.

If any of you were serious about freedom you would be figuring out how to hire lawyers, not coders. A better voting app is just an easier way for my representatives to give me false choices.

Tyranny of the majority is still better than any other system humanity has so far come up with.

Some of the suggested hacks are listed at the link. They will not, by themselves, get rid of the NSA, but they are reasonable steps that the anti-corruption movement can take at this time to raise awareness and build momentum.

You can join in and start working on the BIG problems you listed, or you can say this cannot be done and do your own idea which seems to be about hiring lawyers.
