At The Seasteading Institute, we believe that experiments are the source of all progress: to find something better, you have to try something new. But right now, there is no open space for experimenting with new societies. That’s why we work to enable seasteading communities — floating cities — which will allow the next generation of pioneers to peacefully test new ideas for how to live together.

"The Constitution gives the American people the right to choose the vice president of the United States. That right was taken from us by the party ballot. That lack of democracy has corrupted the office, turning it into a presidential lap dog, instead of a representative of ‘We the People.’ It’s time for that approach to change. It’s time to reclaim the vice presidency for the American people. It’s time for us to elect the vice president. ” David Blake, co-founder of vice.run

John Montfort Dunn (born 9 September 1940) is emeritus Professor of Political Theory at King's College, Cambridge, and Visiting Professor in the Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities at Chiba University, Japan. Dunn's work focuses on applying a historical perspective to modern political theory. His early reputation was based upon the careful reconstruction of the political thought of John Locke: this benefited from Peter Laslett's critical edition of Locke's Two Treatises of Government. Together with his contemporary, the historian Quentin Skinner, and their mentor/colleague J. G. A. Pocock, he offered methodological prescriptions in the late 1960s which aimed at correcting the historical insensitivity of political science by reconstructing what past political thinkers intended to do in writing. Much of his subsequent work – reflective essays, edited collections, and several books – has tackled substantive issues in political theory, although his historical sense continues to inform a certain skepticism about the degree to which politics is ultimately amenable to reason. He is the author of The Cunning of Unreason (2001), a work that discusses how the limits of human knowledge and rationality prevent democratic republicanism from achieving all that it promises. His reflections upon the vicissitudes of democracy as a political ideal have continued with Setting the People Free: the Story of Democracy (2005).

Between the Trump administration and global rise of populism, the domination of money in politics and steady replacement of thoughtful exchange by partisan maneuvering … it’s easy to feel gloomy about the state of Democracy. And yet, lost in the headlines and trending topics is a growing movement of activists, technology solutions and imaginative thinking that are re-conceiving the very nature of Democracy. On May 29th at Manny’s, join us for a discussion of how digital democracy is rewriting the future of Democracy and how human-first structural reform may be a lot closer than you ever imagined. Panelists include: David Ernst: CEO of Liquid.US Agatha Bacelar: Candidate for US Congress in CA-12 David Evan Harris: Mixed Media Sociologist & Chancellor's Public Scholar, UC Berkeley Joshua Krafchin: Co-founder of Swing Left & Democracy Hacker Hosted by Manny's, a civic gathering space in San Francisco.

This video gives supporters of Liquid US an overall understanding of what the organization has been up to recently, and where we plan to head next in order to promote our liquid democratic vision in America.

https://www.agathaforcongress.com/ "I am a 27-year-old Brazilian-American immigrant and San Francisco resident running for U.S. Congress in California District 12. San Francisco has some of the youngest, most diverse, and technologically advanced residents of any district in the U.S. The technology dreamt up here ripples out to the entire world, and will continue to do so as another four billion people connect online in the next decade. AI, automation, and social media will continue to impact every aspect of our lives. We urgently need representatives with a sophisticated understanding of human-centered technology, and yet, only ten percent of our representatives in Congress today have a science or technology background. As a graduate of the product design engineering program at Stanford University, I’m running for Congress to change this. If there is one word to describe my campaign, that word would be proximity. As an immigrant raised by a single mom and the public education system, I have always been proximate to Dreamers, who I knew as neighbors, friends and schoolmates. Half of my family is from Brazil, home to the Amazon Rainforest, “the lungs of the world.” I feel a deeply personal connection to the urgency of the climate crisis. And Brazil’s fraught history of democracy is a warning on the importance of protecting and strengthening our democratic institutions. My work as a documentary storyteller has taken me around the country and the world, and I’ve had the privilege of getting proximate to the stories of communities underserved by our democracy: indigenous peoples, the incarcerated and paroled, asylum seekers and the undocumented. After seeing up close the human impact of policies in place today, running for Congress has become a moral imperative. I am a millennial which means I’m part of a generation set to inherit many crises: catastrophic climate change, perpetual war, record levels of inequality, school shootings, student debt, and public trust in government. Although millennials form the largest voting block in CA-12, it is a group with historically low voter turnout. This is not a sign of apathy so much as a recognition that the voices of ordinary citizens are being drowned out in the wash of dark and corporate money. I’m running for Congress to get big money out of politics; our grassroots campaign will not take corporate PAC money. With family here in the city and as a resident of the Mission District, I am proximate daily to the two faces of San Francisco–the great civic shame of homelessness in the midst of enormous wealth. This long standing problem spotlights a political status quo that is not serving all citizens. For a democracy that serves the 100%, we’re going to need new design thinking, and representatives who will listen to the people over the apparatus of power. Our city, our world is in deep need of change. That change is attainable, but we’re running out of time. Be a part of the democratic awakening and proud tradition of San Francisco’s history of revolutionary change. Let’s reclaim the legacy of protest against the status quo, continue the legacy of technological innovation and environmental activism, and create a new legacy of getting big money out of politics and expanding democratic participation to include everyone. Let's design a better future for a better quality of life for everyone in this diverse city!" -Agatha Bacelar

The problem of deepfakes is one that has been discussed quite frequently in politics and news media lately. There is a growing concern that deepfakes can be used to decieve people into thinking that a well-known figure said something they didn't. How might a liquid democracy help ameliorate the negative effects of deepfakes in politics, by shifting the focus of political discussions from people to ideas?

Brett Hennig co-founded and directors the Sortition Foundation, which campaigns to institute the use of stratified, random selection (also called sortition) in government. Before co-founding the Sortition Foundation, Brett wore a variety of hats: as a taxi driver, a software engineer, a social justice activist, a mathematics tutor, and the primary carer of four boys. He finished his PhD in astrophysics just before his first son arrived. After spending several disheartening years in civil society organisations and politics, Hennig became inspired by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri's trilogy on political philosophy and began investigating and researching network forms of democracy. The resulting book, The End of Politicians: Time for a Real Democracy, has been called "a book for visionaries" by New Internationalist contributing editor James Kelsey-Fry and was described as "a powerful critique and provocative alternative" by the late Professor Erik Olin Wright. Hennig has given many talks promoting sortition and has contributed a chapter, "Who needs elections? Accountability, Equality, and Legitimacy under Sortition" to the book Legislature by Lot: Transformative Designs for Deliberative Governance (Verso, 2019).

A lengthy explanation detailing our security and privacy practices, including an explanation of our proof of vote system.

Our current system: Currently elected county offices are filled using a "top two jungle primary" system involving a primary election in the spring and a general election in November. The election is non-partisan and no party labels show up on the ballot, so Democrats might be running against Democrats and Republicans running against Republicans. If a candidate gets a majority in the primary (50%+1 of the votes), that is the only candidate who appears on the November ballot -- even though many more voters show up for the November election. If no candidate gets a majority in the primary, the two candidates with the most votes go to the November ballot -- even though each of them got only a minority of the total vote in the primary. In the November election voters are given the choice of only the one or two candidates who made it through the spring primary. How STAR Voting would work: STAR stands for "Score Then Automatic Runoff," and also refers to the fact that voters can score any or all candidates on a scale of 0 to 5 (0 for no support and 5 for the most support) similar to giving 5 star ratings to a movie or restaurant. With STAR Voting there is no need for a primary election, so voters would vote only once, in November. This makes for a shorter campaign season focused on the summer and fall when people are paying more attention. It also makes it easier for candidates who don't have big donors to run a viable campaign. The ballot would still be nonpartisan, but instead of being limited to picking just one candidate, you can give a score to any or all candidates -- even giving the same score to two or more candidates you prefer equally. (Giving no score is counted as a zero.) When the ballots are counted two things determine the winner. First the scores for each candidate are added up across all of the ballots, and the two candidates with the highest total scores become "finalists." This shows they have relatively high and broad support from the voters. Second, the same ballots are used to determine which of those two finalist candidates was preferred by the most voters -- a simple majority vote with each ballot counting for one vote, with your vote going to the finalist you gave a higher score to. Summary of main benefits: No primary election, making it easier on candidates and more convenient for voters More expressive voting: voters can express their level of support for any or all candidates Fair to all candidates, with money being less of a factor Produces a winner with broad support Learn more about liquid democracy and David Ernst's work at https://liquid.us

Hélène Landemore is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Yale University. Her research and teaching interests include democratic theory, political epistemology, theories of justice, the philosophy of social sciences (particularly economics), constitutional processes and theories, and workplace democracy. Her first book (in French) Hume. Probabilité et Choix Raisonnable (PUF: 2004) was a philosophical investigation of David Hume’s theory of decision-making. Her second book (in English) Democratic Reason won the Montreal Manuscript Workshop Award in 2011; the Elaine and David Spitz Prize in 2015; and the 2018 APSA “Ideas, Knowledge, and Politics” section book award. Hélène’s third book–Open Democracy: Reinventing Popular Rule for the 21st Century (under contract with Princeton University Press)–develops a new paradigm of democracy in which the exercise of power is as little gated as possible, even as it depends on representative structures to make it possible. In this version of popular rule, power is equally open to all, as opposed to just those who happen to stand out in the eyes of others (as in electoral democracies). The book centrally defends the use of non-electoral yet democratic forms of representation, including “lottocratic,” “self-selected,” and “liquid” representation. Hélène is also co-editor with Jon Elster of Collective Wisdom: Principles and Mechanisms (Cambridge University Press 2012), and is currently working on a new edited volume project on Digital Technology and Democratic Theory, together with Rob Reich and Lucy Bernholz at Stanford. Her articles have been published in, among others, Journal of Political Philosophy; Political Theory; Politics, Philosophy, and Economics; Political Psychology; Social Epistemology; Synthese; the Swiss Review of Political Science: and the Journal of Politics. Her research has been featured in the New York Times, the Boston Review, Slate, and L’Humanité. Before joining Yale, Hélène lectured at Brown University and MIT. She is also an alumna from the Sorbonne, the Ecole Normale Supérieure (Ulm), and Sciences-Po in Paris. In the past Hélène has taught various courses, including “Introduction to Political Philosophy,” “Justice in Western Thought,” “Directed Studies,” “Beyond Representative Government,” “Deliberative Democracy and Beyond,” “Political Epistemology,” and “Political Authority.” In 2014 she won a National Endowment for the Humanities grant for her interdisciplinary lecture course “How Do We Choose, and Choose Well.” To learn more about liquid democracy visit http://liquid.us

"Say there’s an independent or a third party candidate that you really like, but you’re looking at them and you think: ‘God, this person is never going to win, what I should really be doing is looking just among the major parties, and choosing a lesser of two evils.’ With approval voting, you don’t have to do that; you can have your cake and eat it too." -Aaron Hamlin Aaron focuses on technically-oriented, under-recognized social causes that offer ultra-high impact.

The Princeton Gerrymandering Project bridges the gap between mathematics and the law to achieve fair representation through redistricting reform. Sam Wang has been a member of the Princeton faculty since 2000. He holds a B.S. in physics from the California Institute of Technology (1986) and a Ph.D. in neuroscience from the Stanford University School of Medicine (1993). A central feature of his laboratory research is the use and development of statistical tools for dealing with large, complex data sets, especially in regard to individual variation. In 2015, he was appointed by Governor Chris Christie to the New Jersey Governor's Council on Medical Research and Treatment of Autism. Sam has a long-standing interest in elections. He pioneered statistical methods for analyzing U.S. presidential elections in 2004, when he developed tools for the aggregation of state polls. These tools led to the establishment of the Princeton Election Consortium. In 2012 he recognized new, systematic distortions in representation in the U.S. House. Understanding the causes of these distortions launched his interest in voting rights and led to the creation of the Princeton Gerrymandering Project. Sam Wang's laboratory research focuses on learning from birth to adulthood, at levels ranging from single synapses to the whole brain. He is particularly curious about novel roles for the cerebellum in cognition, social thought processes, and autism. He studies these brain functions using optical neural imaging and big-data approaches to analyzing behavior. Sam is also the author of two popular books about the brain: Welcome to Your Brain: Why You Lose Your Car Keys But Never Forget How to Drive and Other Puzzles of Everyday Life (2008) and Welcome to Your Child’s Brain: How the Mind Grows from Conception to College (2011). Both books are available in over 20 languages.

As a 30-year-old Indiana native, Nathan Altman has built a career on being an artist, maker and adventurer. When you see him in the community he’ll likely blend in with the hard-working people across our state, wearing a t-shirt and jeans—and the occasional layer of saw dust when he’s not in the office. Born and raised in Carmel, Indiana, Nathan grew up like many Indiana boys—playing and watching sports, getting his hands dirty building projects out in the barn, and spending a lot of time exploring the neighborhoods. The Altman family has been in Indiana for generations with deep roots across the state. His parents, Jon and Christine Altman, have been fixtures in the central Indiana community, working in real estate, development, law, and public service. His grandfather and uncle bought and ran the Studebaker plant in South Bend, Indiana--producing the famous “Avanti II” until 1982. With graduates from Indiana University, Purdue University, and the University of Notre Dame, the Altman’s represent a host of Indiana institutions. The family remains close—living and working where Nathan grew up. As he grew older, Nathan found and developed his passions, including robotics, design, and construction--all while fostering a role as a social organizer. Getting heavily involved in the innovative FIRST Robotics program at Carmel High School, Nathan began to really hone his creative and technical skills, while also learning to lead a team. He went on to design and build stage sets for the theatre department, and managed stage production of Cinderella. He was elected his freshman class president and went on to organize senior class charity events before graduation. During this time in his life, he also found time to start his first business. Nathan took his lawn-mowing-money and bought his first mower. Then a bigger one. Then a truck and trailer. Altman Pro Lawn grew into a serious, profitable business before Nathan was old enough to even drive the truck. Nathan went to Purdue University where he earned a degree in building and construction management in less than three years. Then he traveled the world--sometimes serving as crew on yachts sailing the high seas. He returned to help launch several new companies, invest in real estate with his dad and on his own, and to pour himself into the Indiana tech and development community. In 2010, he launched DeveloperTown, creating the first DeveloperTown “office” with his own hands. He helped organize, design and build The Speakeasy—a co-working space now with four locations around Indianapolis. Nathan has made a habit of buying, re-designing, and revitalizing properties all over the state, turning them into new, innovative, and useful spaces. With life, not everything works out the first time. Nathan launched a company called uFlavor, which while ultimately unsuccessful, taught many lessons that he has carried with him every day since. He went on to serve as COO for a successful start-up in San Francisco, Launch Media, as well as having his hands in a number of other entrepreneurial ventures. Nathan's love of creating and building with communities led him to several large-scale Bay Area art projects. Because of his construction expertise, he volunteered with and went on to lead the 2015 Temple build at Burning Man. Burning Man organizes an annual gathering of nearly eighty thousand people who create a temporary city in the Nevada desert to experiment with art, community, friendship, and exploration. The challenging nature of the desert environment and the talented, driven community inspired Nathan to take a full-time role with the organization. In 2016, Nathan managed hundreds of volunteers in the public works division, and in 2017 he led the design and construction of the famous “burning man.” For his work, he was given the nickname “Mary Poppins,” which alluded to his ability to drop in and bring joy, creativity, and order to whatever he touches--leaving it better than he found it.
