The Philosophy Forums at OnlinePhilosophyClub.com aim to be an oasis of intelligent in-depth civil debate and discussion. Topics discussed extend far beyond philosophy and philosophers. What makes us a philosophy forum is more about our approach to the discussions than what subject is being debated. Common topics include but are absolutely not limited to neuroscience, psychology, sociology, cosmology, religion, political theory, ethics, and so much more.
This is a humans-only philosophy club. We strictly prohibit bots and AIs from joining.

If you want to lose all hope of humanity ever being objective, take a look at the issue on the ballot in Ohio which purports to "end gerrymandering". We might all agree that ending gerrymandering would be a good thing, but that's where illusions of objectivity end.
A bipartisan screening panel of four retired judges will review and screen applicantsMy first thought when I read that criteria was that they should just put them all in a caged ring and the last 9 standing would be the chosen.
The judge panel will review 90 applicants
30 from the largest political party
30 from the second largest political party
30 independents
The judge panel will then narrow applicants down to 45 finalists
15 from each pool
The judge panel will randomly draw six applicants from these finalists, and select the remaining nine commissioners.
However, it's easy to lose hope for humanity when reading the language of the proposal. It's a tell that whatever allegedly fair system might be enacted will simply become the new battleground where these folks will do anything and everything to advance themselves at the expense of justice, rather than pursuing justice.
As far as losing hope for humanity, I would rather that someone would put up a good argument that humanity can be saved as I have serious doubts.
