WildcatTue, Jun 29, 2010 we are on agreement on this, it goes without saying that if collectively we agree on a virtue it should be taken forward. the problem however has always been a difficulty in agreement on common virtues.
there are surface agreements, especially as relating to terms to which definition it is quasi impossible to get to, and hence though we might agree on the term, we collectively probably will not agree on significance and implementation.
there is no doubt that we are in a fragile position as relates to our futures as a race and as a civ, however we need be clear what need be weeded out, otherwise our futures will be bleak indeed.
In this, the polytopia project aims to become the ground of engagement upon which such meta concurrences can be reached
