Do you mean a group in which we all call ourselves "anonymous" ?
How long do you think it will take before we are again individualized?
Judging and especially trusting idea's by their origin is so human (and
generally sensible) that I am astonished that you actually believe that
such prejudice can be overcome.
Also, how can you avoid people (like yourself) trying to score political
points in an environment where people are "getting to know" other people in
order to see if they can trust and elect them for office?
The latter approach has been tried for nearly a year and
the results have not been stellar. Can't we finally try
the other, which is normal elsewhere and seems to allow
for democratic decision-making?
O.K. One can always try.
What "some form of process" do you propose?
