Better than sort

Let's try find out who is better than who based on reasoned debate and comparison

This idea goes hand in hand with my deserve marketplace idea.

We should explicitly sort everybody element pairwise with every other to find out their social order by comparing two people of their moral beckoning and credentials.

People can argue why they are better than someone else and people can vote on who they think is better.

       Even when you get down to the very worst person then they are better than everybody else at not being better then everybody else.   

       2 problems:
1: defining "better".
2: Some people will lie about their... everything.

       Neutrinos, that's the fun of it. We can allow people to pick what they think of as better and use recommending engines to match people to what they think of as better. Then we can also measure the outcomes in people's life's of what people receive by thinking one thing is better than another thing and if it truly was better than the other thing.   

       Is a neurosurgeon more valuable than a software engineer?   

       Is left wing better than right wing?   

       Are rich people better than poor people?   

       Are your neighbours better than you?   

       Is someone who earns more than you better than you?

       It can be a social network. Someone can prove their claims or have other people claim on their behalf   

       LinkedIn is full of exaggeration. Let's argue technical decisions based on what is better than other things.

       Neutrinos someone can decide what they think of as being better as being better than what you think is better.   

       I'll start.   

       Believing in a loving all powerful God is better than believing the absence of God. One beliefs leads to better things. (Morals, principles, love, Jesus)

Say what you want about Hitler... but he did kill Hitler.
  

       I had just read, around 5 hours ago, a book that was written 200 years ago about an ancestor of mine who was one of the first Hassidic Rebbes. (A Hassidic Rebbe or Rebbi is the leader of a Hassidic community).   

       In the book, there is a story about a man later to be a known Rebbe himself, who approached Rabbi Haim Meir Yehiel Shapira of Mogelnitza. He proudly told the rabbi which town he's from, which was meant to impress the rabbi. The rabbi asked him: So tell me, who is the worst person you know in your town? He thought for a minute and then described someone in the town and his behavior.The rabbi turned away without shaking his hand or greeting him.   

       Wait, why have I just gone and told horrible things about someone in our town? he asked himself.   

       He ran back to the Rebbe and said. It is I! There is no one worse than me in the town. And I know all my flaws. As far as I can see none are anything serious so I can probably be friends with each and every one of the people in my town.   

       The rabbi smiled and shook his hand.

       //select from a list of most common answers.//   

       [ ] Yes
[ ] No
[ ] Don't know
[ ] Mind your own business
  

       I think that about covers it.
