I dont disagree that the way we think impacts the way we structure stuff.
I just think that it is easy to spend the time in rant mode rather
than looking for alternate ways to structure the wiki so that it
serves a range of perspectives well and also hopefully helps us to
develop new ideas or proposals based on those structures.

These structures might be in flux for the lifetime of the wiki because
we are specifically looking for ways to represent diversity in a way
which helps. New people with new ideas about how to get their
perspective across might find the way we have started to not represent
things effectively from their perspective. Then the discussion is
about trialling other ways for other sections and looking at how that
provides a different way to look at something.

How do you think we could structure Ingmar's freedom ideas?
