  • I think it’s completely valid to vote according to your feelings. That’s how you determine what you find important in those you vote for. Drawings are a form of art and the purpose of art is to invoke specific feelings in the consumer - apparently more people enjoyed the first drawing and voted for it, which is completely valid for a competition for “drawings”; it wasn’t a competition for drawing skills, just the pictures themselves.

    What I find much more problematic for democracy is misinformation, especially if deliberate by news outlets, politicians or lobbyists. They know how to manipulate feelings to get what they want.



  • I want to throw in the following explanations I read (I haven’t fact checked them but find them interesting for this post). Women are statistically smaller than men and smaller individuals of a species live longer than larger ones. Men on average have faster metabolisms than women which is said to contribute to faster aging as well.
