The system needs to change for it to not be a bifurcation, for all practical purposes. The system of voting needs to be changed from First Past the Post to be something like Ranked Robin voting, STAR voting, or Score voting. All of those are my preferred alternatives, but Ranked Choice is still solid over First Past the Post as well.
A different voting system enables third parties to hold real power and to grow in influence.
Oh for sure, there are a lot of different areas in education that need to be changed. We need to go back to teaching people how to think rather than prepping them to just memorize for the test. That’s not even mentioning the issue that AI can have on the learning processes.
If I recall correctly, Aristotle proposed something like only the educated being able to vote. I think if everyone was guaranteed free access to both a high school and college education, along with all food and living costs covered for anyone studying, then I could see having at least any associates level degree being an okay barrier of entry to voting.
However, such a thing would need to be protected by some unremovable barriers. For instance, education would need to continue receiving appropriate funding, food and other living costs such as renting a room would need to be covered even as the cost for these things change. People with disabilities would need to receive proper accommodations.
A caveat I’ll add is that there would need to be more community colleges built and much more funding for pre-K thru 12th grade as well.
Awesome! I hope you like the first one! I really liked the time crunch element that was in the first game lol
I’m playing 4 right now! The first three are all fun too though and worth playing if you get a chance. I got Pikmin 1 & 2 bundled together for the Switch, and it was a lot of fun playing through those ones again!
They really got to make this more well known. The top search results didn’t list those apps either for being PieFed integrated.
What???
Wow, I’m surprised that’s not the top Google result or App Store result for PieFed.
I wrote my comment on the Voyager app too lmao.
My army of green leafed and flower crowned small dudes are taking siege of the underground caverns in search for celestial tourists lost on their interstellar voyage.
I’d be inclined to check it out but it looks like they don’t have a mobile app I can use. Lemmy at least has a few different feature robust apps you can use to access Lemmy. I might check it out when I’m on desktop, but that would be a fraction of the amount of time I spend online.
I believe that, it’s probably the same people that were already going to try to cheat on their assignments and stuff, but are turning their brains off even more with LLMs. Lots of them probably aren’t even reading the slop the LLMs spit out before handing it in. I’m hoping teachers and professors make their way back to hand written answers for assignments, personally. At least then students physically have to read some of the text that’s getting written.
Most people don’t want to use them in the workplace, only the super tech bros from what I’ve seen. I don’t see AI having a big impact, especially since people don’t care to have it replace their jobs. I think if AI was here the. lots of jobs could be at risk, but LLMs aren’t AI and I doubt they will be in the next 5-10 years. LLM prompts can’t do 90% of all jobs. They can help summarize and pull a first draft for some stuff, but as an end product they can be pretty trash and don’t sound natural whatsoever.
I think you’re right about the LLMs ruining the entities that rely on them though.
It’s not the solution, but one of many I would say and an important one at that.
Also, the UK uses First Past the Post for the House of Commons, mayoral elections in England, Police and Crime Commissioner elections and local councils.
They use Alternative Voting systems for some of their elections for like the chair of committees in the House of Commons and the Lord Speaker.
