That’s exactly right. And also, by holding ourselves to account, setting this agenda of what people resonate with, this is called crowdsource agenda setting, unlike the citizens’ jury, where the agenda is sometimes already preset. We enable the citizens to essentially set the agenda and uncover the parts of the society that may be more nuanced, may be more eclectic, may be ignored when the anti-social media want to keep people addicted to those debates. A subject that could never get a consensus, it would resonate with those eclectic voices more, because they are more, well, viral, in the sense that it’s an idea that’s worth spreading, and it would resonate with more people.
