ok..i will digress a bit into politics to make you all feel better.
isn't it strange that we have now the model in which they show that the democratic model works best for making decisions in animals groups, but still people would like to reduce the amount of voters for several reasons. One of which is that most voters in their opinion are stupid.
But it seems that to have a succesful society you should maybe not only include even more voters (children for instance), but maybe we should also let everybody vote on everything. The effect is that all the radical decisions are buried, or as one might see it, that no real decisions are made ever. And not making decisions might be best for everybody (scientifically speaking)
