Re: [xmca] Unconstrained choices and a proposal



Huw, nice try, but the Marquis de Condorcet showed 2 or 3 hundred years ago that you can't achieve consensus by voting, and you certainly can't decide philosophical questions by voting. In my days as a union delegate, when we had a large number of people trying to resolve a complex question, and there was a wide spread of opinions, we'd pick two people on opposite poles of the problem and tell them to go away and find a solution that they both agreed on and bring it back to the full group. Complex problems require concrete solutions.
