Is this really the best idea? In the US, convicted felons are disallowed from voting. While sometimes this cn cause problems, I generally agree with this sentiment. Do you want a tax evader voting on tax issues? I don't.In post 20, MarioManiac4 wrote:In society, the word "good" does indeed turn towards meaning what the majority thinks is true. Therefore, this would be the accepted meaning of "good", yes.In post 16, Accountant wrote:So "good" depends on what humans agree on, rather than an external objective truth(let us set aside the question of what that truth is for now)?In post 15, MarioManiac4 wrote:There is no universally agreed upon definition of "good."
In a world where it was universally agreed on that sexism is good, is sexism suddenly good?
Personally, I believe that good things have no, or very sparce, physical and mental pain and prevent physical and mental pain. My votes in society reflect this. Everyone else's vote reflects their opinion. Generally democracy is the best current way to limit "physical" and "mental" painas long as it is a true democracy where no group is unable to vote and anyone gets a say.

This is correct. IMO there is no "benevolent dictatorship". SOMEONE will abuse power.In post 29, MarioManiac4 wrote:
