-M: I know. I was talking about what seems to be your prefered version of DP.
>L: One may have more than one proxy, but in this case, the vote is divided. that is the “Fractional” in Fractional Approval. It is not clear that most voters would gain any advantage by effectively naming a virtual committee instead of an individual to carry forward their vote. But they may do so.
-M:
- To keep power from being too concentrated.
- To give recognition to underdogs, no-names, and rising stars.
- To create an identifyable, mappable and quantifyable activist community.
- To give more challengers to the highest ranked.
>L: It should be understood that I favor delegable proxy. FAAV resembles delegable proxy. Unstated in the FAAV method is how the candidates redistribute the assets. Delegable Proxy is one possibility, in which case what we have is a special-purpose usage of DP to elect a peer assembly. There is no fixed limit to the depth. FAAV leaves the candidates free to distribute — or even to not distribute — the votes.
-M: OK.

-M: Wrong is useless. Infact it is backwards and degenerating. So start by being right, then hope that it has practical benefits. And if people can’t recognize and appreciate rightness, fuck’em – they don’t deserve its benefits.

Unless we get FA/DP first. And what exactly is in the way of FA/DP?
The only obstacle is ignorance and inertia. FA/DP is not opposed to anyone, but it does, indeed, make it possible for those who are opposed to rapidly and efficiently identify each other and do what is needed, outside the FA.
If they have waited until there is substantial agreement within the FA, it will be practically impossible to oppose them. And they judge what “substantial agreement” means. Fake registrations, sock puppets, shills, will not confuse them. It is fairly easy to test actual support.
>-M: Wrong is useless. Infact it is backwards and degenerating.
No, being wrong is an opportunity to learn. Mark is demonstrating that he knows little about the path.
You learn a lot more by being wrong than by being right.

Mark:"Now, in the political arena, I only want to be right. "
-Even if I doubt that you always can be right, did it ever occur as an oppurtunity to you that “right” might be wrong for some people, no matter how intelligent and well informed you as a decisionmaker are? And that several local decisions can be better than one big for the whole country for instance.
Or that a deliberated and engaged group of 10% can make the “right” decison over the 90% not interested?
That 50% +1 might be 10% of the whole population if not enough votes (in a DD-issue or for election of a rep.) In the DD case, this might not be so big deal since it is only one single question, not to election of a rep for years. In the RD case, it mean the way to hell, even if you have tried to minimize the risks in SD-2.
Basicly: there is no such thing as a “right” decision to all. Only more or less OK, decisions to individuals.
This is why DD is superior to RD, once the citizens have the tools needed.
Because whom concerned will take the decisions.

-M: A decision has to be made. Even one that is right(serves the general welfare the best), may seem ‘wrong’ for some people. (And politicly, the only decisions I am responsable for is the production of quality leadership selection and project management systems.)
>mg: And that several local decisions can be better than one big for the whole country for instance.

-M: Absolutely. SD2-S can work with small numbers.
>mg: […] In the RD case, it mean the way to hell, even if you have tried to > minimize the risks in SD-2.
-M: How? Leaders are selected with peer-selection with SD2-S. How is this not better than lemmings selecting administrators for a DD system?
>mg: Basicly: there is no such thing as a “right” decision to all.

In his opinion.
We do not expect debaters to be necessarily a good judge of their own debate skill. Debate is a communication art, and it is judged by its effect on an audience. Shall we vote?

I vote that ALL your points about lemminghood are untrue. You are mixing the well know flaws of RD with your own ideas of DD, giving nonsence.
So there, you are uncorrect.
But as Lomax points out, debating is not about beeing correct, it’s about convincing people.
And you seldom convince, Mark.
You have to improve on your debating skills if you want better results in your selling of SD2.
One way is to stop being uncorrect, another is to listen to others arguments and accept them instead of stating them to be “lemmings words”.—~—~————-~—~——~——————~———-~—~——~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups “top-politics” group.

OK, mostly true. Lets tighten it up a bit: Most problems I can think of are because of lemminghood and corruption.

You seem to be of the opinion that people will make the correct decisions when presented with information. The problem is this is just information, and it largely is unprocessed into meaning for the non-specialist.So then WHO are the trustworthy specialists?
Without an anti-corruption mechanism,
the lemmings can be duped into selecting a fuck-head. :-(This is why SD2-S selects people hierarchicly based on their trustworthiness.

I have sais this over and over, and you have not challenged this. By the rule structures of debate, I am ahead of you.-BS, I can challenge it again: L-RD might have the same principle, 50% +1, as AD.
But the algo is excerised by a better hardware, with less arbitar influence.

Looks good to me. Where has this been challenged?
You seem to be of the opinion that people will make the correct decisions when presented with information. The problem is this is just information, and it largely is unprocessed into meaning for the non-specialist.-You want citizens to choose reps without knowing the facts inside all known information for the issues?
And you don’t call that Lemminghood?

the lemmings can be duped into selecting a fuck-head. :-( This is why SD2-S selects people hierarchicly based on their trustworthiness.
This deselects the dupes and fuck-heads.
Gotta better idea?-Yes I have, you are stealing my argument: Selecting the wrong guy due to lemminghood is a larger problem than selecting the wrong alternative in a specific issue. Read Socrates.
And even if SD2 helps to sort out the worst fuck-heads, the risk is still there because no single person is perfect to use for all decicions.
Some are made best by your own which you have not challenged. And if this is the case, you have no proof of that reps will ever do the best job, once all info is on the table in a specific issue.—~—~————-~—~——~——————~———-~—~——~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups “top-politics” group.
