Bruce Schneier’s Plan to Reinvent Democracy

5/29/2023

In this blog post, Bruce Schneier presents a plan to reinvent democracy by leveraging technology. He argues that the current democratic systems are outdated and fail to address the challenges posed by technology and globalization. Schneier proposes a system called 'liquid democracy,' which combines elements of direct and representative democracy with secure online voting. This approach would allow individuals to vote on issues directly or delegate their votes to trusted representatives. The blog post discusses the potential benefits and challenges of implementing such a system, emphasizing the importance of transparency, security, and citizen participation in shaping the future of democracy.
