Bailey Flanigan, a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard heading to MIT, and Andrew Hall, a Stanford political science professor, explore the revival of sortition—selecting representatives by lottery. They discuss its ancient roots in Athenian democracy and its relevance today, especially for governance in technology and crypto. The conversation dives into improving democratic legitimacy, balancing expert authority with citizen input, and the role of technology in decision-making. With a touch of humor, they also highlight the balance between accountability and participant anonymity.
