Another important question. How to make a collective decision. Single people and small committees miss information that other group members might have relevant to the choice. Votes and large committees/working groups suck and are very heavy weight. How should decisions be made.
I’ve got some feelings that people shouldn’t try and optimise 1 and 2 too much. It skeevs me out when I see people doing it, like people are trying to pull levers in my head, and I have to spend mental energy figuring out if I agree with the way people are trying to pull the levers or not. It might be that there is no such thing as optimal group cohesion policy just like you cannot be universally inclusive.
