We do. Using our consciences.

What if two people's consciences disagree?

  • Do it regardless. If you're right other people will realize that. If not, they won't.

    • How other people respond is largely unrelated to principled notions of justice -- it will mostly depend on what benefits them. Populism, in other words.

      I can't see how that could ever go wrong.

    • The learned helplessness of modern citizens of so called democracies is something to behold. No wonder we have people like Trump in power.

      You're just an anarchist. We can save a lot of steps if you just state that outright.
