I have to agree with almost everything and I really enjoyed this discussion and read. One thing though.
Not everyone, but some reasonable form of consensus such as 51% or 2/3rds+1
This type of governance makes sense for problem-solving but when it comes to moral values and obligations, I'm very sure we will need at least 90%+ consensus on for that one to ever pass. It's that last hurdle that worries me.
