MurdochMaxwell's definitions

Murdochian

1. A person who substantially agrees with Murdoch Maxwell

2. Murdoch Maxwell advocated for a voluntary society in which groups and individuals maintain and develop their culture or interests whilst maintaining a pluralist attitude valuing philoxenia (a love of strangers). Their philoxenia & their pluralist attitude are valued by each of the societies, despite them being apart of various schools of thought because they all consider the possibility that the other society is more correct. Each of these societies evinces a willingness to update their theories as more evidence becomes available. These voluntary societies treat their ideas like code where there are willing to update to new versions, fork into separate versions experimenting with different ideas, and are willing to boot up older iterations with the knowledge they obtained with newer iterations.
Not Murdoch: "Dude your Murdochian ideology sounds a lot like GitHub."
Murdoch: "Yeah, it's totally GitHub dude."

A self-serving partial or total loss of memory often used as a tool by politicians who often promise wondrous things only to renege on their promises once elected.

Radical Subjectivity

The state of unreservedly favoring a one's feelings as the cardinal factor in determining the validity of something instead of observation or reasoning.
I never thought it would become trendy for one's feelings to become the most important part of an explanation for a phenomenon. Methought that one's feelings would more likely be more of a peripheral matter in regards to explaining a phenomenon. I suppose those who prefer radical subjectivity think of my preference for observation & reasoning to be unsympathetic.

The GitHub Political Party

Advocates for a government where policy is managed via a respiratory hosting service that governs voluntarily via subscription plans. The GitHub Political Party would put in place a open-source government that stores revisions of projects for ideologies and policies.

In practice the Github party would advocate for a voluntary society in which groups and individuals maintain and develop their culture or interests whilst maintaining a pluralist attitude valuing philoxenia (a love of strangers). Their philoxenia & their pluralist attitude are valued by each of the societies, despite them being apart of various schools of thought because they all consider the possibility that the other society is more correct. Each of these societies evinces a willingness to update their theories as more evidence becomes available. These voluntary societies treat their ideas like code where there are willing to update to new versions, fork into separate versions experimenting with different ideas, and are willing to boot up older iterations with the knowledge they obtained with newer iterations.
Within these voluntary societies people will be able to vote with their feet or dollar ;in lieu of, diluted votes often associated with regular democracy.
Thanks to the GitHub Political Party all the political ideologies are living in harmony. People now live within the political systems they choose to or the political systems they dream up themselves – what a wonderful world. Where everyone is free to choose what they wish and create political systems untrammeled by basic b democracy.
