I think the term homophilia is fantastically well chosen. I haven't seen it summarised like that before, but it explains a lot. Could you tell me how it came up in your head? I also love the term kakitocracy <3 Such an elegant way of saying what everybody thinks!
I was not able to understand every meaning in the text. Also I had to ask google what this party is. Everything gives me a very strange feeling. I love it when something gives me this feeling of weirdness. As Mark Fisher said: "Strangeness is an indication that the concepts and frameworks we have previously employed have become obsolete".

Glad some of the concepts retained! Homophily is borrowed from Wendy Chun's research into the genealogies of network science - see e.g. https://mediarep.org/server/api/core/bitstreams/c9ca2834-7014-4f93-9f08-35983281c78e/content OR https://www.e-flux.com/architecture/are-friends-electric/289193/homophily-the-urban-history-of-an-algorithm/. It does wonders to think of this as a parallel development within representative kakistocracy :-) / Asker
