Do You Think a Period of Democracy Can Work?
I think the answer is not to flip a switch and turn on something called pure democracy when people are not ready for it. I think that we see some experiments in more complicated systems of voting that might actually be more reflective of people's choices than simply picking one candidate, right? That foreign policy making, decision making about the military, about foreign policy is very ways insulated from popular participation in modern American history. Whether we get there before we get to Mars, I don't know. It's a combination of technology and human creativity, but I think we can start having that direction.
