Democracy is slow but antifragile.
It's an internally-ground-truthing system.
It's hard for a democracy to execute on any coherent, bold idea with force.
But it's also much less likely to decohere from ground truth; the process for re-ground-truthing is internal to itself, and not external.
An external ground-truthing mechanism requires competition; if competition dries up for whatever reason, the ground-truthing mechanism stops working.
Antifragile systems are internally ground-truthing.
