Event Details

This document appears to be a page (204) from a philosophical or academic manuscript discussing the evolution of political systems, the impact of technology (specifically AI and machine learning), and the concept of 'enmeshment.' It references historical figures and events to contextualize modern challenges regarding citizenship, voting, and power distribution in a networked world. The text speculates on a future where AI influences elections and questions whether current democratic structures can survive modern technological pressures.

This document appears to be page 15 of a larger essay or article discussing American foreign policy and the historical nature of revolutions. The text argues against both 'realist' cooperation with despots and 'enthusiast' idealism, positing that most revolutions (citing examples in France, Russia, China, and Iran) result in chaos or new despotism rather than democracy. It specifically contrasts the American and Glorious Revolutions with the failures of others, mentioning the situation in 'Egypt today' (likely implying a date shortly after the Arab Spring) as a negative example. The document bears a House Oversight Bates stamp.
