Initiative
Drawings, 2013
Decision-making is becoming more bearable, dividing responsibility for the consequences with like-minded people. Perhaps that’s why referendums exist... The internet is a rich source for like-minded people, where you can find many other people who are prepared to support ideas, about which there’s possibly less responsibility. The confirmation of a majority tends to serve as a mechanism for implementing an idea, for example, lists of supporters and “twitter walls”. Exactly like a class, which agrees to play truant for a lesson together, hoping not to receive a joint punishment, a global movement which describes itself as a majority is possible.
