This was one of the most interesting chapters yet. The point about cognitive biases being a clear negative for our current political debates but then mitigated with a certain type of deliberation via assemblies was an exciting new idea. As well as the link to the excellent Veritasium.
One part that was missing, though, is how that 2nd phase is able to bring in new ideas/points that we’re not brought up by the congnitively biased sides from the first phase. If the experts arguing in phase 1 are going to leave out important info that is not relevant to their argument, then how will that info be injected in the 2nd phase?
