SONs and MONs
Every member of a group [[MON|has her own unique understanding and perceptions about the world]]. For every need the group will try address, every member has her own understanding on how to fulfill this need. When we try to solve a problem, we have to find ways to include all world views held by participants. We can try doing it by taking into account all various thoughts and understandings, but then we cannot understand each other. We could not criticize or understand (to explain more).
The other way is to create a common field of knowledge. For [[Epistemology|epistemic reasons]], I will call it Social Objects Network or [[SON]] for the acronym. The process of creating SON, is critical for common decision-making. The group should create a SON in order to understand each other and estimate tighter what will be the best options. The process of creating SON is done by critical thinking, challenging group previous consumptions etc.
Where disagreements do occur, the results of decision of the group may validate whose SON is more adapted, in due time. Therefore, deliberating citizens should develop tolerance to other people views and ideas. They should understand, that in due time, and as the experience of the group will grow, the knowledge will be more suitable for finding good solutions.
