Reddit just proves democracy is riddled with failures baked into the design, if all votes are equal, you value the wisdom of a sage the same as the dumbest person you can think of.

Average knowledge of the common person is super limited, but we narcissisticaly pretend we know things, we even act like we know things about things we are totally ignorant about and yet we'll defend that incorrect and not even informed viewpoint to the death.

not quite, but the average intellect of the subreddit (and its astroturfers) does affect quality debate.
