I do not believe for a minute that "moral experts" exist who be anything
else than historians of ethical systems - something which is not really a
qualification for making my choices in my stead.

As to "politicians" and "votes", the problem, as with "markets", has simply
to do with game theory unravelling effects, and I suspect that it cannot be
solved unless we accept that plural, competing collective entities be
maintained preventing all eggs to be put in a single basket and being
affected by Darwinian pressures.
