Welcome to the WikiDemocracy Project.
Toward a Rational Democratic Process
This is the seed of what I hope will become a forum which assists larger communities with their decision making processes. The tools provided on this website are tools to help with a rational decision making process.
As a rational process it requires foundational assumptions.
The foundational assumptions which apply to this Wiki are:
1. The rules which are are adopted by a specific group of people should apply equally to all members of the group.
2. Members of a group will hold onto to whatever beliefs appeal to them as individuals.
3. Members of a group will seek happiness and fulfillment for themselves and those who are close to them.
Next, in light of these foundational assumptions I would suggest some basic rules.
1. Members of a group should set aside any individual motivation which conflicts with a rational decision making process, while participating in that group's decision making process. Some of these motivations might include: self-interest, belief in divine intervention, the end justifies the means, communal or personal retribution, communal or personal glorification to name a few irrational motivations.
Our six guiding principals are as follows: Rationality, Democracy, Egalitarianism, Transparency, Fairness, and Community.
