WHERE:10850 West Pico Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90064, USA
How to get in: Go to the Westside Tavern in the upstairs Wine Bar (all ages welcome), located inside the Westside Pavillion on the second floor, right by the movie theaters. The entrance sign says "Lounge".
Parking is free for 3 hours.
Discussion: This week, we will be talking about democracy. What properties would a good voting system have? Why is there no perfect voting system? What is the best voting system? Is there any reasonable voting system that we have any chance of ever being implemented? Should I vote for a third party or a primary party candidate in the next election? Is democracy even worth it in the first place? In spite of the topic, this discussion will probably be abstract enough to not kill your mind.
No prior knowledge of or exposure to Less Wrong is necessary; this will be generally accessible.
