Should You Vote?

Voting

According to Jason Brennan, the answer for most people is no:

We would never say to everyone, "Who cares if you know anything about surgery or medicine? The important thing is that you make your cut." Yet for some reason, we do say, "It doesn’t matter if you know much about politics. The important thing is to vote." In both cases, incompetent decision-making can hurt innocent people.

Commonsense morality tells us to treat the two cases differently. Commonsense morality is wrong.

Do you agree with Brennan? Of course you can email andrew@thedailybeast.com for any lengthy responses, but you can also answer the quick "yes/no/don't care" questions in the above survey and submit questions of your own.
