Do you believe democracy is a good system?

@Techspert

It has its own flaws, but its the best current form of government in my opinion.

@souleaterfan320

Why?

[souleaterfan320]

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Why?

@Techspert

It allows the people within it to choose the best way to get things done. Want a small business law put in place? Vote on it. With enough votes, it gets through. They are in near complete control of what they want done. Plus, within the EDB, we arent a two-party system. Everyone is fairly represented.

@souleaterfan320

On average, do people make good decisions?

@Techspert

Individually yes. In groups, not so much. A person is intellegent. People as a whole are finicky, frail and prone to bad decisions.

@souleaterfan320

And you're letting them make decisions for everyone as a group.

That is not a question or a suggestion that can be resolved. There are far too many factors to determine what I presume you are asking.

@Fractured

Never mind then! Well, just like every system, the Automatic System will need some time to work out its kinks. The Nobility System was okay until it broke and the Tier System was super okay for a really long time but also had flaws! We'll just have to see what happens.

[Balance]

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Exactly.

@Host

Sounds perfect. I'll consider it.

[whizzball1]

@Techspert@souleaterfan320 Ooh, politics!

[Mammalia]

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

Me either.

*Another Gyroball arrives and we are allowed in; I bow my head and motion for you and Aron to do so and then I enter; inside is a translucent red platform with a carpet hall between rows of seats in pairs of two; I sit on one and gesture for you to sit next to me*

@whizzball1

We have corrected the theoretical errors in the Tier System.

@whizzball1

I apologize if I come across as overaggressive. I would very much like to learn the underlying motivations of the organization, as the EDB owns a particularly sizable territory in my time.

@Fractured

That's good! Did you expect these errors when you first set up the Tier System? Or, if you figured it out later, why didn't you fix them?

@whizzball1

No, and we learned of their existence after it was too late to fix them prior to them being taken advantage of.

@Fractured

What if that happens again? Can you reset to the Automatic System, fix the errors, and switch back?

A great passion! We're all scientists here, and by "all" I mean, me, Data, and you!

@whizzball1

No, and it cannot happen again. We have learned much since Tier Five's implementation. I also highly recommend not performing System shifts rapidly in a short period of time. Or rapidly at all, given the undefined behavior of the System.

@whizzball1

I... enjoy applied science myself. There are some pet theories I really enjoy, but there's nothing better than seeing the concepts you love become a reality.

@Fractured

How do you know more errors won't crop up?

@Techspert

That's awesome! Practical science is so cool.
