Hi SA (and David M mentioned) Trial and error yes, but trial using well informed (and well intentioned) strategies have to be better than trials based on coin-tosses or dogmatic prejudices surely ? Particularly if the "trial" is a social experiment where the downside risk hurts people ?
However yes, self-organising systems of life help us crawl up the improbable mountain. And again Yes, the answer to my question is a process. Your "isness" is a "doing". Unless you suggesting a "free for all, and let's just see what evolves" as the best strategy, we are still left with quality questions of what is good .... and latching on to the good (the best so far), taking it forward, without cramping the possibilities for further evolution .... we've just shifted the question to features of the process, rather than any fixed "answer" to my who question (my how question was always looking for process as the answer anyway) Interestingly you have just rephrased my recurring question. Assuming total freedom, anything goes anarchy, is not the optimum answer, my question about what is the best form of governance (of anything) is a matter of "What are the best processes of governance". The question of judging "best" - the matter of values - will just not go away ?
