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.
