Re: Should Mild Preferences Have Equal Weight?
solution number 3, the market.
For instance marihuana.
Suppose we have 3 persons.
A, B & C.
A loses 2 happy points if pot is legalized.
B loses 4 happy poitns if pot is legalized.
C wins 13 happy points if pot is legalized.
On democracy pot is going to be illegal.
On the market, person C gets to have pot because person A and person B are not going to bother on enforcing anti-marihuana laws, specially because they are going to find a lot of resistance on C.
Even C is by himself he is willing to do a lot more for his right to smoke weed, he is willing to spend more resources, etc.
