“When I'm crossing the street, I look both ways and I process the information rationally because if I make a mistake I get hurt, but when I cast a vote, kind of regardless of how I voted, doesn't make a difference and that's sort of a recipe for uninformed and irrational voting.” IfsWayLooksKindProcessDifferencesHurtMistakeStreetsInformationVoteCastsMaking A DifferenceVotingIrrationalRecipesCrossingsUninformedCrossing The Street Author:Jason Brennan
“I'm skeptical about even educating voters as a chance for being successful. You know, when we look at what people retain from high school a year after they've graduated, they've forgotten most everything about history and civics and everything, and I think the main worry here is that because your individual vote counts for so little, you just don't have a strong incentive to invest in the knowledge, to retain the knowledge, to process information in a rational way.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWayYearsLooksLittlesSchoolIndividualStrongProcessChanceWorrySuccessfulInformationHigh SchoolVoteForgottenRationalBeing SuccessfulVotersIncentivesSkepticalCivics Author:Jason Brennan
