KAOS is the enemy of CONTROL.
Dealing with narcissistic sociopaths...
Committees are generally a bad idea.
Better to have a single person, who is accountable for results, who can then have advisors.
I once saw a company I work for, go for “management by consensus”. It turned into a dictatorship of the most obstinate.
Very good article with examples of group dynamics. Many evil individuals often bond together into bad collectives, from gangs to school boards to political parties to governments. Identifying those evil individuals is important.

This disruption of society (morals, norms, shared facts) is INTENTIONAL.
First, it undermines the effectiveness of representative government, capitalism, etc, leading to a desire to tear it all down.
Second, it increases the calls for power to be consolidated among a handful of leaders (to get things done) .....which is the antithesis of our limited government.
Finally, it prevents the people from coalescing around strongly supported ideas (border enforcement, voter ID, term limits).
All caused by:
1. Outlawing of dueling.
2. Making general ass kicking prohibitively expensive for anybody but broke drunks and druggies.
3. 2/3rds of women (neurotic/consensus seekers).
4. 90% of sackless beta male passive-aggressives.
But, what do I know and I do not feel strongly about it.
