people in the past believed
all sorts of mad stuff
gods and idols
and witches and curses
and in a natural
rank of persons
elite gold souls
and humble serfs
and the people
of the future will
think us ghastly
and selfish
to be clear
i think they will hate us
we should need a supermajority to ban anything. a simple majority is not enough. we need to have a presumption in favour of allowing. don’t let one person veto a construction project or the 51% most boring citizens ban weed for the rest. no tyranny of the busybodies. that is all.
