I can’t say much about the consequences of this, but it appears to me that both democracy and futarchy are efforts to more closely approximate something along the lines of a CEV for humanity. They have the same problems, in fact. How do you reconcile mutually exclusive goals of the people involved?
In any case, that isn’t directly relevant, but linking futarchy with AI caused me to notice that. Perhaps that sort of optimization style, of getting at what we “truly want” once we’ve cleared up all the conflicting meta-levels of “want-to-want”, is something that the same sorts of people tend to promote.
