NOTHING_WORKS

There's a key principle I think it's important to
remember in any "social design" problem:

  Nothing Works.



  People who don't get this
  can fall into traps:

    o  chasing after impossibly idealized solutions

           e.g. "consensus decision making"
           where no one loses


    o  veering toward the opposite pole

           "Well, *that* didn't work,                Believing there's only
            obviously we should do *this*."          one "opposite" direction
                                                     is still another trap.

  People who do get this
  can also fall into traps:

    o  ignoring all criticism.

          "You can't please everyone.
           Nothing's perfect."
