By the way, before commenting upon marginal revolution, the post at Ace is pretty good too. Read both.
I want to quote the following from marginal revolution:
In a new paper, Bullock, Gerber, Huber and Hill provide evidence that the respondents don’t actually believe what they say and the authors do so by making partisans pay for their beliefs...The paper also has implications for democracy. Voting is just another survey without individual consequence so voting encourages expressions of rational irrationality and it’s no surprise why democracies choose bad policies.I'm coming to the conclusion lately that democracy is flawed. Voting is rigged ( as in the last election ) and those who do vote are "bullshitting" as noted in the article.
Is there a solution? Can you make people pay for their bullshit as is in this paper? Can you make the process honest?
