Turns out @Gladwell did a podcast on an experiment by Adam Cronkite on randomly selected students' councils in #Bolivia that shows how #lotteries can identify/make great leaders in a way that #elections can't. revisionisthistory.com/episodes/44-th…

An amazing idea! We've put together some resources on how to incorporate democratic lotteries into high school (and elementary) student governments that might help: democracyinpractice.org

Not to mention learning from the outset to think more creatively about what 'democracy' can look like! Such a shame to teach 99% of kids that their only contribution is an occasional vote.

@Gladwell love the most recent RH. As a local elected official, I’ve been saying for years that running for the position and doing the job are 2 diff skill sets that rarely reside in the same person.

There's been so much great work on democratic lotteries and government that we've found inspiring. Too much to list but would highly recommend checking out @masslbp, @ClaudiaChwalisz, @newdemocracyAUS, @SortitionNow, democracyrd.org/about/ and joinofbyfor.us to start.
