Majority agreement is both important and has delivered less than sufficiently throughout history.
At the start of our country, majority agreement lead to presidents. Majority agreement as a concept also has allowed slavery, evil governments in the future like Nazi Germany to do awful things.
We all agree on something not always true value added. Bandwagon appeal has not always shown precedent for ideal decision making throughout history.
Truth is generally established based upon majority agreement, does not guarantee right or sufficient for all parties. More agree like the concept used in Triple Modular Redundancy – an important engineering concept for fault tolerance has potential for leading to better results some of the time. Some of the time not all of the time gets upsold to sufficient for all of the time.
We all agree does not equate to right, delivered justily. The crowd agreed to crucify Christ, does not equate to it was just to do so. People learned from the example set from Christ sufficiently, or slavery and Nazi Germany happened, bandwagon appeal is a less than ideal system that has shown precedent for underdelivering throughout history, I am a Christian and I am going with the latter.
Christ could have taken free will, capacity to sin away from humanity after His Crucifixion. Reminder that evil is in by design on Shiny Blue Marble (Earth) and isn’t likely to go away completely. Not all ideal for engineering, tech invested in making stronger bridges is not tech I want in making stronger crucifixes (and I don’t mean that as a sideways way to say weaken the Church, I mean I don’t want engineering gains to be used to hurt others, self).
An important reminder being part of a Church or religious organization has not always idealed value out, David Koresh and Jonestown, Boston Witch Trials – think self is without sin might lead to judgment and stones thrown, don’t judge and perception of clean might be turned up in combination in non ideal ways reinforced with pride to lead to fall for others or self, others or self that I do not wish to fall.
I am not trying to weaken the Church, that said Churches that produce evil results might need to be weakened in advance and it is not always easy to know the difference. This world has not always produced results of feeling of ideal oversight ideal relevance raised ideal relevance limiting reduced and the combination is consequential.
