“Answer truthfully. You all believe that widely diverse points of view have merit, right?" Nope.

  Not all orderings are total: just as {A} is a subset of {A,B} and {A,C} but neither {A,B} nor {A,C} are subsets of the other, one can consistently hold the position that point of view A is inferior in merit to points of view AB and AC while neither of AB or AC are inferior to the other.

    Sure. In many cases {A} isn’t a subset of anything else, though, and is merely what we might call standalone bullshit, and unfortunately it’s pretty prevalent these days.

      {A} is always a subset, by definition, of the power set.

        I'm pretty sure avazhi just meant to observe that in these cases {A} is a facet (maximal face) of its memeplex.
