Imagine incentivizing dignified political discourse.
Tami Pyfer's idea for a dignity index is awesome. If we can collectively make our politics more civilized (I'm guilty too), then maybe we can get better people willing to brave the headache of running and serving in public office. Candidate quality could improve. The influence of conspiracy theorists might recede. Political theater might, at least more often, give way to real governing.
