Finding common ground is more about tracing back through the tree of decisions that led different people to different conclusions, starting over with the last point of agreement, figuring out why the decisions came out differently, and correcting the problem (which, according to [[Aumann's agreement theorem]], must be due either to irrationality or information not being fully shared).

The question here is: Where are we trying to get to?

There are actually two parts to this:

  • What's the first serious change we'd all like to see happen as a result of our efforts?
  • Where are we going with this -- what's the underlying change that we want to see in society, and what should society be like when we're more or less done changing it?

I've addressed the first part of this here.

The second part is an important question we will need to discuss eventually. I do want to start people thinking about it, however, because understanding each other's visions of the future will be crucial to working together harmoniously.

Once we've got our Revolutionary Bar, Grill and Library up and running, I'd like to see both vision statements and position statements proliferate.
