The Importance of Defining Democracy
"I feel like we're getting to the point where we shouldn't just be stuck on our understanding of what words mean," says Ben Affleck. "Maybe it's just more important to think about what's actually happening on the ground, right? And maybe other systems make more sense if the results are better." He adds that in a world where you had free passage from jurisdiction to jurisdiction regardless, and it was effectively like, 'Here's the rules here,' there would have been less need for term limits. The author also talks about his fascination with futuristic ideas such as an artificial island nation called yachts which people could move around without paying taxes.
