Worse: this cynicism underpins a false equivalence
'Because democracies are imperfect, they’re no better than autocracies'
But that ignores the fundamental distinction:
democracy contains a mechanism for rational selfcorrection
Autocracy does not

Democracy is a process, not a static state; an asymptotic ideal that societies strive toward but never fully achieve
Its essence lies in perpetual selfcorrection, meaning that any claim to a fully realised democracy would be a contradiction in terms

they fail because they lose their capacity for #SelfCorrection.
The more a system optimizes away risk, the fewer degrees of freedom remain for innovation.
