Just had an idea for a thought experiment. I'd like to hear anyone's answers, but I'm especially interested in how @freemo answers:
Let's say the presidential election was framed as a stock market. The market itself (equivalent to NYSE or NASDAQ) is America. The stocks are the presidential candidates.
In this experiment, each American has a net worth of $1000 and they have to spend it "voting" for presidential stocks during the election year. They can vote early in the year, or wait and see how others invest and vote later. They can split the $1000 between as many candidates as they want, or put it all on one.
After the election happens, they receive 10% of what they invested in the winning candidate each month (so if they put it all on the winner, they're made whole in 10 months). After the election, the winner's stock becomes the premier stock of the entire market and drives the market valuation based on the President's performance, paying dividends to every American when it does well.
In this scenario, you have two (potentially) competing motivations: enriching yourself and enriching the market (America).
So, the two questions that arise are:
1) Do you invest early, based on just your morals/politics, or do you wait and see how others invest first?
2) How do you divide up your $1,000?
@Sujiyan @Sujitech_official I found some clues as to why Threads user accounts are not searchable. I'm not in a hurry, but I would like you to check this as well.

If it is not a technical issue, you may need to check with Meta once.

I'm surprised that Norway only had the current system for more than 10 years, I'm 47 and my taxes were always prefilled.
Perhaps you mean online for 10 years? That makes more sense, I barely noticed when we switched from paper to online, because that only changed how I didn't have to do anything. And there was a large overlap, with an additional phone based "press 1 to change your personal income" system as well.
In 2008 I needed to make a change, and I had the option of doing it online.
No changes means everything is correct has always been how it worked for me (Denmark).
@skyblond The problem with logical systems is they are just as bias as their axioms dictate as well.
In any logical system you have your axioms (antecedent, known facts), logical rules, and your consequent (conclusion).
If your axiom includes "All black people are violent" you will have logically valid, yet racist, conclusions.
Even if you create a logic rule that is bias it can be an issue, for example "if skin color is not pale, and income is low, then high liklihood of violence" would be a rule that would add racial bias as well.
This was shared with the admin discussion as well.
In fact, they asked if we could join some initiative that is focused on account portability for data migrations.
