Despite the popularity of ideas about \u201cenlightened absolutism\u201d and technocracy,\u00a0<strong>when the decision-making is delegated to small groups of people removed from the wider population, the key factor determining the quality of their decisions is not benevolence or erudition but their ignorance<\/strong>. History, formal models, and argumentative theories show exactly that: no group of people removed from the wider population can have access to the knowledge required for solving the unknown future problems in a dynamic and unpredictable world.<\/p>\n<p>Frustration with democracy has, however, become commonplace. And while our institutional systems will never be perfect, it seems it\u2019s time to start thinking about which aspects of our democracy reduce its potentials in problem-solving, and which aspects are lacking for it to produce better decisions.<\/p>\n<p>In a democratic spirit, this\u00a0<em>Evening at Moise<\/em>\u00a0the public will be invited to discuss the problems and search for plausible solutions required for the improvement of our democracy.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democracy produces better decisions than oligarchy.
