Hey guys!

I'm wondering here... Who the hell told that the majority better knows
which path is the way to go? This is wrong, very wrong.

Every time you see yourself at the majority's side, you must take a
step back and think about your position with extreme care, for real.
Democracy is the original attack of the 51%, against the 49%. The
needs of the many DOES NOT outweigh the needs of the few. This kind of
thinking make me sick.

Please guys, don't take me wrong, but voting isn't a good decision
making tool. It stinks.

And it is even worse, when the majority is ignorant. No, I'm not
talking about Debian Developers, I'm talking about the country I was
born, so called "Brazil". Here, democracy does NOT work. Since 95% of
brazilian people are just a bunch of scumbags (that one that can not
even be used as a fertilizer, they are just useless). Sorry about the
bad words, but, that is the truth. Sad, but true.

So, democracy doesn't work when the majority sucks. But it might work
when the majority have education and knowledge. Nevertheless, I still
think that we can not make decisions by voting.

And here comes the Scientific Method! By far, this is the best tool I
know to figure out which path is a better way to go. We need to test
and test almost all of the alternatives and then, make a decision
based on observation, based on a "real world" results.

We need to be able to reproduce everything! Every single procedure
must be reproductible, since its creation.


For example: How to fork Debian?

This is something that needs to be very well documented. Step by step,
then, we can test it millions of times, until it becomes perfect...
And this is just an example... That I would like to talk in a
dedicated thread later.


Lets use the science to help us make better decisions?!

Lets not make decisions based on "administrative shit"? I mean, Devuan
can not use
"administrative decision making". Like this:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/11/msg00534.html

I wish for Devuan: technical sanity.

Crossing finger to see Joey joining us!

Nevertheless, I still believe that constitutions and technical
committees are good in some level but, it can not be "top down".
Today, for example, Debian Technical Committee totaly lost its
purpose, and it is very ugly, they think the are "the boss" (or
something like that, which sucks). We can not do the same mistakes
Debian is doing. Otherwise, we'll become what Debian is today, really
fast.

What do you guys think about this?

Cheers!
