I know, it feels weird to use yourself as a measuring
stick,James Ragsdale - I've been practicing that myself, as I've
spent my life striving to be Objective For All Humanity For All
Time And Come Up With The Perfect Answer That Will Serve Anyone
Universally.

...but sometimes it's simpler than all that. You're really
sitting there (or laying, or standing or floating in space -
idk) - and you have some nice objective statistics you can run
on yourself objectively to ascertain your subjective
preferences.
When I do it to myself, I first feel like a piece of scientific
meat, being poked and tested but consider this: *You* _are_ more
of an authority of what is better for the group you're running
_because_ you're running it. Your past actions can teach your
present self the best way to go.
It might not be the best way for Giuseppe Octavia in a 15th
century province in the outskirts of Rome to form his new
society with; he has a different personality and a different
culture to deal with and his own tastes.
But James Ragsdale can answer for James Ragsdale about a 21st
century group and figure out what's best. Forget Universal. Go
personal; there's a good chance that's it'll turn about to be
universal enough.
