See previous post on morality becoming collaborative social
decision-making for the discovery and application of increasingly
effective positive-sum solutions to the problem of how best to promote
our shared values (that work) into the future we create.  <Whew,

Politics has always been about scarcity, but some of us see it
shifting from scarcity of resources to scarcity of attention leading
to positive-sum solutions.
