re: #236 Talking Point Detective

True - but I’m not a Quaker and I’m not an anarchist - but the process seems pretty fucking obvious to me from watching the video clip. I mean you don’t have to be a Quaker or an anarchist to understand what “consensus” means. Jeebus.

It might seem obvious enough but a lot of people are very uncomfortable and/or confused by the idea of non-hierarchical decision making. “Where’s the leader? Who has the final say? Why doesn’t this group recognise my natural authority as a politician?” Yadda yadda.
