19A: "Sticking to the Long Road of Participation" (part 1) by Cristina Lafont

Shaunsky and Sasha begin reading our second engagement with a criticism of lottocracy. "Sticking to the Long Road of Participation: Replies to My Critics" is a response from Cristina Lafont to criticisms of her book Democracy Without Shortcuts.  Recorded May 4, 2025. The discussion of what we were intending to call "Part 1" ran about 2 hours, so we've now divided Episode 19 into parts A & B.  You can find the essay at https://krisis.eu/article/view/37053/34617.
