The problem you run into is that there’s no demos that’s functionally liberal in that sense. That’s why Republics* are instituted. It’s also why they’re hard to keep. * - why the Bill of Rights (or Enumerated Powers) are necessary

Define "liberal"? That word has become a bit distorted and corrupted lately. Classical liberalism? 👍

1) What are values of techno-optimism ? 2) What are values of liberal democracy ? Don't you think that for a sufficient overlap of values the person has to ALSO be something else? What is 1.5? What is 3?
