Article I · Dignity

A hospital has more patients than doctors. Someone has to decide who is seen first. A machine could make that list in seconds. Should it?

One of eight questions. Ten seconds, no account, and nothing is published with your name on it.

Where do you stand?

Should AI decide who gets care first when there is not enough for everyone?

FAQ

Questions, answered.

01What the questions are

There are eight Articles: Dignity, Safety, Agency, Privacy, Truth, Fairness, Power and Flourishing. Each has one founding question, short enough to answer cold, with four positions running from the hardest no to the hardest yes, and "Not sure".

02How perspectives are protected

You can contribute without an email. Responses form a collective signal rather than a personal profile.

03How the Constitution changes

No line is written in advance. Once 20 people have taken a position on a question, the position most of them chose is proposed as the line, in its own words, and marked as not adopted. Only a person adopts it, in public, with its question named.
