I mean the least evil option is democracy with multiple living hypotheses and settling disputes gradually, probably taking forever.

Democracy is a tool for legitimizing decisions, not for making good ones

I understand this viewpoint. But I don't subscribe to it. I am not yet cynical enough :)

I trust the humans to arrive at the optimal decision if and when they cool down their tempers and consciously try to reduce bias.

Do you have peer reviewed research to support that wild hypothesis? :)

LOL no :) but see this link. I don't want to look for evidence. I presume this, otherwise no point in communication. https://www.singularityweblog.com/human-swarming-and-the-future-of-collective-intelligence/ …

For me, the great mystery is why we should understand each other at all. If we don't admit a shared consciousness, I think it is impossible.

There is no proof for it. But for that matter, there is no proof that we truly understand each other. It might just be an illusion.

We might be living in bubbles confirming a relative truth in a mutually reinforcing way. But in this case, I see no point in communication.

You may have noticed that I am not very keen on reinforcing your truth bubble :P
