Optimocracy: Causal Inference on Cross-Jurisdictional Policy Data to Maximize Median Health and Wealth

Thousands of jurisdictions have made different policy and budget choices over decades, creating a natural experiment. Optimocracy applies causal inference to this cross-jurisdictional time-series data to identify which policies predict above-average median income and healthy life years. It then publishes evidence-based recommendations for every major vote, tracks politician alignment, and funds aligned candidates via SuperPAC, making suboptimal policy politically expensive while preserving democratic structures.

Unrepresentative Democracy

Your government spends 604 times more on weapons than on testing which medicines work. You could elect 535 Gandhis and within two years they'd be funding nuclear weapons programs, because the system requires it. Princeton studied 1,779 of your policy decisions and found that public opinion has the same effect on legislation as a houseplant. This chapter explains why you can't vote your way out, and why that's actually fine, because the solution was never better politicians.
