This is a beautiful thought, but also a very ugly one at the same time. When only "approved thoughts" can be given voice, even if those thoughts are weighed by a super-majority, is the organism of humanity truly healthy? Monocultures are dangerous to themselves. The only way to have heterogeneity is by allowing for the existence of secrets.
- teaearlgraycold 3y agoI don't know if you'd need to only have approved thoughts. I think the world would need to accept that people have different values and people don't completely align with their own values. Someone would do, say, or think something wrong and the response would be "meh" (depending on the consequences of course).
- ptero 3y agoThat is a cool concept, but I do not think it has ever been realized in practice; which may indicate it is not even realizable. A community might come close during good times, but once the fortunes turn there are always hunts for scapegoatsband witches. My 2c.
- teaearlgraycold 3y agoYeah I don't know. It would be interesting to see this studied. I think it would quickly go to a "he who is without sin cast the first stone" situation. Any accusation against pretty much anyone could be countered.
