The problem is that mass devolved consensus-based governance sort of
fails to work except in the simplest of circumstances. This isn't
because we're collectively stupid, or individually inherently evil, or
all unscrupulously trying to get the upper hand; it's because we're
human beings. I don't see that changing, whatever committee exists.
Consensus is *hard*.
