nina czegledy and fomenting a yasmin discussion with jonathon keats
Jonathon Keats is a conceptual artist and experimental philosopher[1]
known for creating large-scale thought experiments. Keats was born in
New York City and studied philosophy at Amherst College.[2] He now
lives in San Francisco and Italy.[3]
\
his latest provocation is part of his THE FUTURE DEMOCRACIES
LABORATORY: AUTOMATED GOVERNMENT PROTOTYPING SYSTEM
https://projects.cadre.sjsu.edu/democracyproject/index.html
The Future Democracies Laboratory is a research space dedicated to the
investigation of methodologies and technologies for collective
decision-making. Directed by experimental philosopher Jonathon Keats,
in collaboration with San Jos? State University students and CADRE
faculty Rhonda Holberton and Steve Durie, the transdisciplinary
laboratory hosts an open-source software platform for rapidly modeling
and testing democratic systems.

We are working him as part of initiatives to mitigate climate change,
the absurd idea of giving plants the right
to vote- the first step is a citizen science project where YOU can
poll the plants around you and 'represent' them
in this yasmin discussion

I am currently 'polling" plants in dallas and so far have discovered that:
a) i notice more unhappy people than unhappy plants- why cant dallas
provide all humans a minimum annual income-
as they do to plants who are watered and clipped and planted by the
city for free.
b) i dont know how to know whether a plant is 'happy' and my son
xavier said i was projecting
on plants things that are desirable to humans ( eg happiness) instead
of asking plants what THEY desire

If anyone would like to help us organise this discussion contact nina and I
via rmalina@ alum.mit.edu and czegledyn@gmail.com
