I'm perplexed by the downvotes. So I can refine my understanding, I'd love to know where I'm thinking incorrectly. Here is what I think are the possible counters to what I proposed:
1) Societal utility is NOT a weighted average - namely, an acceptable outcome will only have positive externalities.
2) Processes in which ideas are suppressed are in general preferable to those in which ideas can be unconstrained
3) We can discover the full set of "good" ideas without being exposed to "bad" ideas
Where else is the disagreement coming from? What are your insights that lead you to reject what I've proposed?
