Personal Optimising ROI Selection Criterion

Revision as of 09:18, 2 April 2021 by WinSysop (talk | contribs)

Personal Optimising ROI Selection Criterion Is the process by which the different options evaluated by the group's members.

Because deliberation is a liberal method of coordination the liberal values are set in order to help the group choose the best option. In liberal values, every person is a free person and he is free to associate himself with any other free person.

When in deliberation large amount of options are evaluated as a solution for a common issue, Some options may harm some of the individuals, While other individuals make a profit from those options. In conservative values, members may choose the "common good" principle as a method to select an option, Which means that on average most of the members profit even though a minority of members may lose.

Under the free choice and free association principles, the group cannot ask a member to sacrifice herself for the common good. Therefore another criterion is needed. I'll suggest that the individual should be a member of the group and comply with the group decisions although she may lose in the current decision if she evaluates that her own personal ROI will be positive in the long run. If distributed justice is important to her, should also evaluate if the ROI she belive she will get will be distributed according to her preferences of the type of distributed justice.
