Scotalnd in the 18th century had judges try to determine the merir of court cases as if they were PIs. This is superior to Common Law only if the judges get better over the centuries. Law is a means to justice for individuals but it is also a bulwark against tyranny. If judges were allowed to ignore precidents, a PM could stack his Judges and become Stalin more easily. It would be nice once in a while to have the best judges reset a precident, but not enough to enable Stalin. Common Law is good as it was formed just after the Battle of Hastings. Charlemagne was an intellectual who was a humanist. He started out Chivalry which forms the basis of Human Rights. It does not appear in the Islamic or Chinese history, that such a leader emerged. I'm about to read Ethics of Religions. With anti tyranny and WMD sensors, you'd only want to enforce them as good as commaders get. So that judge ranking would come in handy. I believe this is possible. Certain brain areas associate with altruism (mammal areas). Certain brain areas I assume code for logical and spatial and absract creative thoughts. This area hopefully represents rational thought. If you get the two of them in a judgement, and if you are not mentally ill and have had an okay upbringing/environment, your judgement is likely good. Hume as a youth thought minds could be calculated as such. I think so, statistically. SE happened because their Church wanted people literate. Something like the civic pride of 1890s Wpg and Athens also likely took place their to give thinkers a kick in the butt. To a book about Greek dark Ages pottery...
