gollark: What does that *mean*?
gollark: Humans are VERY BAD at that. We can barely even acknowledge stuff like positive-sum "games".
gollark: ↑ someone who has never interacted with any humans
gollark: Plus extra voting-related issues - you have to integrate EVERYONE'S DIFFERENT VALUES into your central plan, and somehow have people vote on incredibly complex plans.
