-M: Even if AD isn’t legislatively ‘Big Daddy’, ‘Big Daddy’ is still
the natural evolution as people look for the top experts. The end
result is still ‘Big Daddy’ for both legislation and administration.
So the only major difference between AD and SD2-S is still the
c-algorithm -
SD2-S is peer-endorsement and AD is arbitrary and lemmingist.

-M: At what point?
At what step should the depth of this selection process be stopped?
PageRank/SD2/SD2-S have the unlimited depth of augmented democracy.
Where has my logic been challenged?
Lomax dodged this one.

-M: OK.
>mG: And their inscructions have to be open and democratically decided upon.
-M: Internal policy? Maybe. Everyday orders? That would be a bitch and quite involved.

-M: Allied countries should be allowed to plot against enemy countries. This requires secrecy.

> >-M: I prefer calling you a ‘Lemmingist’ instead of a ‘lemming’.

-M: I think that your positions are Lemmingist. I like you and have no interest in attacking your credibility.

-M: So, like Emmanuel’s V-V-V, and Rodriguez’s DDD,
the voter gets the choice of RD OR DD.
I keep asking why the fuck’n override?
(I ask you, Emmanuel and Rodriguez and I get DODGING.)
By contrast, SD2-S gives the option of RD and/or DD.
And even if the individual voter gives a DD input,
there is still an underlying RD component because people have to be
selected anyway,
atleast for administration.
Again, this aligns with SD2-S’s philosophy of minimizing external
complexity.

-M: Because people are selected with the lemming-algorithm instead of a deep peer-selection algorithm like SD2.

-M: At what point in SD2-S are people separated from the process? Look at the generative chains. Where?

-M: You don’t have SD2-S as the umbrella. This is the problem.

-M: Again, at what point in my process is there a breakdown?

-M: SD2-S’s anti-corruption methods are:
Your AD has this potential,
but its not built-in.

-M: With AD, he is the top delegates and the top administrators. They would team-up.

-M: AD is closer to popular opinion – this is group thinking. By contrast, SD2-S has a TRIAD.

-M: If you understood PageRank,
you would know that endoresement circles are not possible without broad
support.
Either study PageRank, or accept Emmanuel’s, Rodriguez’s, Markus’s and
my knowledge of it.
