It's interesting to think that our representative structure of government might have an optimal structure based on population size and the state of information technology, and that we might be moving towards or away from an optimal scenario, and we wouldn't even know it. IMO it's also interesting to consider that conservative politics tend to come with lower population densities, whereas higher densities result in more liberal politics. In some sense, these populations might be interpreting social signals in different ways based on the skills that they developed to navigate their particular social structure. Different types of logical errors might have different costs in different communities. It would be interesting to see if different populations had different susceptibilities to different fallacies. Do liberals or conservatives tend to commit the Ecological Fallacy more than the other? Hm. I wrote 'different' 7 times in that last paragraph.
