Thanks to you also. I hope we see your open source government thing happen.

I'm not sure how you're going to derive consensus about which experts are trusted in which topics, or how you're going to prove to the people that this commit, and not that one, is their chosen one. Not without using crypto in some way.

I don't think you can do something as important as that behind closed doors on AWS and have the people take you at your word that somebody with root access didn't have their finger on the scale--they're going to want to see proofs, to verify the outcomes on their own hardware--but I'd love to live in a world that actually is that trusting.
