Scott Alexander opens voting for the 2024 Book Review Contest, explaining the approval voting system and listing the finalists.

Scott Alexander presents multiple satirical scenarios of 'two wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner' to critique various aspects of democracy and political behavior.

Scott Alexander explores 'bicameral reasoning', comparing how we often weigh issues equally (like the US Senate) instead of proportionally to their importance (like the House), leading to potentially skewed decision-making.

Scott critiques the misuse of consent-based arguments to justify bans, arguing that they often disguise sacred values and can lead to more harm than good.

Scott explains why no perfect voting system exists, using examples to show how different voting procedures lead to different outcomes, and discusses mathematical proofs demonstrating that all reasonable voting systems must allow some tactical voting.

Scott introduces a 10-post sequence on game theory fundamentals, drawing from 'The Art of Strategy' by Dixit and Nalebuff, with links to all planned posts.
