Allocating research funds by referendum? - Considering the Possibility of Quadratic Voting｜Ryosuke Shibafuji (CEO, Academist Inc.)｜note

• Quadratic Voting

MTG2023-04-24

nishio A person who is willing to pay 10,000 yen for A to be chosen instead of B in a choice between A and B, not that he is willing to pay 10,000 yen per vote, but 10,000 yen in total. Since he/she is willing to pay 10,000 yen, the strength of his/her preference is 10 times stronger than that of a person who can only pay 100 yen, not 100 times stronger, which seems like a tautology.

• nishio Oh, I forgot to mention that Quadratic Voting is when you get a cash vote.

Instructor often say "what were you doing today" and it is the most difficult question for me even if asked in Japanese.

• I am doing what I want to do.

• One idea come up with me. How about to answer "today l learned〜"?

• Today I learned about quadratic voting, do you know?

  • It is new voting mechanism.

• In the first lesson, I did not use the textbook and disscussed about Quadratic Voting and Polis. It's nice practice oppotunity for me!

  • At least, I can speak the basic concept of QV and Polis.

• I should review the recording of the lesson.

  • Because we discussed all over the time, no note are taken.

• The goverment give 100 tokens for each person. The person can use those token for voting.

• X may be carried over to the next vote.

  • X can be carried over to the next vote.
  • Or "We can use the unused credit to the next vote"
  • It becomes like a currency.
  • Whether to make it possible to purchase X is a difficult question.
    • Whether to make it possible to purchase X is a difficult problem.
  • When I spend 100 credits, I'll get 10 votes. When I spend 1 credit, I'll get 1 vote. So even if I spend a lot of money, I can not buy so much voting power.
  • If you want to get 10 times as many votes, you have to pay 100 times as much.
  • However, the rich already have 100 times more money.
    • However, the rich already have 100 times more money.
  • Even if the issue was important to me, my financial resources are limited and I cannot buy enough votes
  • X reduces that risk, but does not eliminate it.
  • wealth gap
  • gigantic /d͡ʒaɪˈɡæntɪk/
  • We should pay for the vote with something other than monetary value.

• When the necessity comes

nishio I'm listening back to recordings of my English discussions, and when I make a counterargument to something I disagree with my opponent about, and he understands it as a counterargument, it seems to me that I'm not following along. I think I'm having trouble keeping up with them because they are speaking at native speed and their sentences are getting bigger and bigger without gaps.

• nishio In other words, I'm looking over this situation, and when I'm in this situation, I'm going to interact appropriately and say, "If you speak at that speed, we can't understand you. I wonder if it is necessary to give feedback and make them slow down.

• nishio Sorry, too fast to understand! Or something.
