T-Rex: Someone who doesn't vote is CLEARLY super chumpy. But, ON THE OTHER HAND, someone totally uninformed who votes anyway is ultra chumps too!
T-Rex: An interesting conundrum!
T-Rex: So let's take it to extremes: if voters were SO UNINFORMED that they were effectively voting randomly, then their noise would drown out the signal of informed voters. So that's bad!
Dromiceiomimus: Agreed! But on the other hand, perfect knowledge of every candidate's position on every issue isn't possible. So there will always be UNDERinformed voters - it's just a matter of degree!
T-Rex: Agreed!
T-Rex: So let's just multiply everyone's vote by their informedness!
Utahraptor: Making a less informed vote worth less?
T-Rex: Exactly! That way the "goodness" of a voter will directly impact how much their vote is worth!
Utahraptor: Wow. T-Rex, your system only works if we can objectively measure informedness, which isn't going to happen. Plus, replace "goodness" with "ethnicity" in your phrase and you're a super crazy racist!
Narrator: THAT EVENING:
T-Rex: Dear audio memoirs! Today I was racist by word substitution again.
T-Rex: This -
T-Rex: This is the hardest racism not to be.
