In the meeting to learn from Robert, Yuan believes that the core principle of Robert's rules of procedure is:

It is to carefully balance the rights of people or groups in organizations and meetings. Specifically, let the strong party know that it is necessary to give the weak party a chance to express their opinions freely and completely, and let the weak party know that since their opinions are not in the majority, they must make decent concessions, and at the same time they have the right to change the situation through rules.

I think this principle embodies democracy, so I changed my words to:

The democratic environment is to let the strong party know that it is necessary to give the weak party a chance to express their opinions freely and completely, and let the weak party know that since their opinions are not in the majority, they must make decent concessions, and at the same time they have the right to change the situation through rules.

I think democracy should not be interpreted as "the people are the masters of the country", but as shareholders or game participants, everyone can expand their influence and share it if the rules allow. This share includes the support rate.

This year at Bar Camp in Shanghai, I participated in and initiated a topic, which I can discuss with you. BarCamp has three meeting rooms. Introduce yourself when you sign in in the morning, then give the topic to be discussed to the chairman, and allocate time slots and conference rooms to the corresponding topics. If there are too many topics, everyone will vote by show of hands and eliminate the most unpopular topics, that is, those topics that few people are willing to listen to will not be on the agenda.

I try to introduce a topic of "personal news station" and explore the possibility of providing news clues by using network technology in my personal capacity. I'm not sure how many people want to listen, so I started advertising and invited others to listen. This is "changing the situation through rules" and a reasonable act to win more support. Fortunately, in the end, many friends joined in, not a topic with the least number of participants.

In my impression, China literati are shy and unwilling to publicize their ideas widely, so they should keep a low profile. Selling ideas should also be one of the necessary technologies for modern people to survive. In fact, good wine is afraid of the deep alley. Since it is good wine, it is not afraid of advertising.

Since it is a comment, according to the way I write comments, I have to express my views in combination with other things.

Of course, under the rules of democracy, everyone has the opportunity to represent everyone. Everyone can freely vote to decide who will represent themselves to realize their political ideals, or they can not vote or vote against them to prevent others from gaining greater influence and support through rules. If you don't like these rules any more, you can declare them unreasonable and then "quit noisily". You can vote with your feet.
