Steve, Actually, your scenario is not a compromise. It's an agreement. Compromise is when parties give up what they want to avoid conflict, thereby making everyone equally miserable. In your scenario the goal of all was the same and nothing was sacrificed, not a compromise and no possible conflict.
The line "compromise doesn't exist" was addressing a compromise on "collective intelligence", I meant that there was no possible compromise on the term. Compromise does exist, but I don't compromise...you certainly can. Micah [Micah] Compromise doesn't exist. Neither does "collective Intelligence". [Steve] Hypothetical Situation A: 1) Four neighbors each want a lawn mower for themselves to be used one hour per weekend only for purposes of mowing the lawn. 2) Each neighbor has $100 in disposable income. 3) Lawn mowers cost $400 each. 4) Since no one has $400, no one buys a lawn mower. Hypothetical Situation B: 1) Four neighbors each want a lawn mower for themselves to be used one hour per weekend only for purposes of mowing the lawn. 2) Each neighbor has $100 in disposable income. 3) Lawn mowers cost $400 each. 4) Since they have a combined $400, they pool their money and buy a lawn mower for all of them to use. Each agrees to mow his lawn during a different hour than the other neighbors. This sure looks like a compromise to me. Ignore the fact that the numbers are probably bad estimates.
