\"Democracy requires active participation, and sooner
or later someone 'offers' to take all the difficult decision making away from you and your hectic life. But the dark net throws those decisions back onto you. It hard-codes democracy into the DNA of civilization. You upvote and downvote many times a day on things that directly affect your life and the lives of people around you—not just once every few years on things you haven't got a chance
in hell of affecting.\"
