    I'd rather not live amongst a revolution but because things that are built up slowly and methodically tend to have stronger roots and are more sustainable.

The modern political system was birthed in bloodshed, chaos, and societal revolution.

    the amount of marketing that will occur in order to get the herd to pull the right lever will be unprecedented, right?

No because policy decisions are made on the social wiki - the "herd" votes on the policy-decisions made within the Wiki. The structure of the social wiki will prevent bad policy proposals.

    When it's too easy, does it run the risk of being overly inclusive?

You vote on whatever policies you want. It's customizable. I go into depth about this in the paper. I suspect that in this structure more people would vote, not less.
