Deliberation and informed decision-making is the focus of the third episode in our podcast series. The "Great Taco Debate" among high school students highlights the empowerment that can come from deliberation leading to an informed decision. This uplifting experience is reflected in the song "Para todos hay un taco." Enjoy!
Our second episode features “A Letter from LA,” followed by the “LiquidFeedback Rap (Ambient).” The emphasis is on staying engaged and informed, creating a more participatory, respectful democracy where everyone has a fair chance to be heard.
We explore digital democracy from a variety of perspectives. We focus on democratic self-organization and community involvement—keeping it engaging and fun. Our discussions cover topics like deliberation, informed decision-making, liquid democracy, and more. Through a unique blend of stories, insights, and a mix of words and music, we bring these ideas to life.
The first episode opens with "Algorithms for Good," which draws inspiration from the eponymous article by Andreas Nitsche. The accompanying song is "Digital Dawn." We hope you enjoy this inaugural episode.
This white paper outlines a long-term scientific vision for the development of digital-democracy technology. We contend that if digital democracy is to meet the ambition of enabling a participatory renewal in our societies, then a comprehensive multi-methods research effort is required that could, over the years, support its development in a democratically principled, empirically and computationally informed way.
