I think it&#x27;s interesting that you assumed ethnic minority&#x2F;majority when I had in mind all sorts of minority&#x2F;majority contrasts.<p>&gt; Do you think only burqa wearing Muslim society is prosperous and cohesive? That seems to be only way how that Taleb article could support Radical Democracy.<p>What? I&#x27;m going to ignore your nonsensical question and merely clarify what I meant:<p>In the traditional logic of democracy, consensus is the ultimate goal. It makes sense to me and you that a process that seeks consensus can function and effectively govern, probably because we have been raised to learn this logic since a young age. Radical democracy turns this on its head: The essence of democracy is plurality that defies consensus.<p>I don&#x27;t think it is intuitive that this could function on large scales. I think Taleb&#x27;s article gives evidence that yes, this <i>can</i> work, because the real dynamics of society are not driven by consensus building, but by minorities advocating for themselves. I am not saying the article is explicitly supporting radical democracy, but it gives us an empirical point of view from which to analyze its merits.
