Bug in the Japanese political system

  • In the traditional Democracy, both the “objectives” and “whether the objectives are being achieved” are determined through elections.
    • However, there is an argument to separate these two and determine the latter through prediction markets rather than in a democratic manner.
  • It makes sense to use prediction markets as a source of logical judgment, assuming that people in the market are generally rational.
  • Some concerns:
    • What if a purpose that denies the mechanism of Futarchy is chosen? What should be done then?
    • Is it possible to separate “objectives” and “means”?
      • Can a certain objective also become a means to a higher-level objective?
      • When pursuing higher-level objectives, it could become a vote on ethical foundations like utilitarianism vs ~~ vs ~~.
      • It seems like it can be divided into selfish and altruistic aspects.
        • I have doubts about whether altruism exists when pursuing objectives in depth (Hobbes).
        • It seems difficult to participate in this voting without understanding what makes oneself happy (blu3mo).
      • Looking at examples of Futarchy, it doesn’t seem like they delve that deeply.
