How The Net Destroyed Democracy

(YouTube comments about this are worth a look.)

Technology that guides attention drives attention, controls attention.
Which affords little time for questions and/or thinking during the guided attention time.

Attenders who work to pause, think, and review a-v footage multiple times, try to make time for themselves to think.

Fragmented media fragment thought, map public knowledge, public will, politically manage it, profit from it,
and are terrible for democracy. Singapore and Switzerland offer important lessons.

How do we scale up direct representative democracy?
