  on: A vot­ing the­ory primer for rationalists

  Hi Jameson, brilliant post. I have some questions regarding the candidates in an election :
  
  1. What are the implicit and explicit assumptions we make about candidates?
  2. Would it be possible to incentivize preferable behavior from voters by making the candidates play an anonymous game prior to the election? For example lets say we have 100 candidates that we want to narrow to 10. If we, for example, made the 100 candidates answer 5 pertinent questions in a digital form and had 1000 voters rank order(or other voting function of choice) the responses of 10 random candidates, we could take the top 10 performing candidates and then have a non-anonymous round of voting.

  Hi Jameson, I’m interested in the “meta-politics” you describe. Is there a field/​domain where these things are explored in a more rigorous way? The only thing I’m aware of that comes close is the crypto/​blockchain space.
