I have been having problems with how one might use a DKR.
We have been talking about 'user requirements' but I keep
running into quicksand. Let me explain by giving a simple
example of a problem and three users.
User One is a white male Republican who believes that Greed
is Good and should be encouraged and unfettered.
User Two is a black female Democrat who believes that greed
is useful for motivating people but should be regulated by
the Government to minimize the damage and prevent revolution.
User Three is a Pacific Islander who believes that taking
from the community and keeping it for yourself puts you at
the bottom of the social ladder.
So, a fisherman with modern technology comes to a Pacific
island, wipes out the fish population and much of the reef
then moves on with the intent of selling the fish for money
and keeping the money for himself.
I presume that even User One considers this undesirable
but I am aware that may not be the case.
How do the three users use a DKR to attack this problem?
I don't see it. Worse yet, most of the serious problems
that I am aware of, seem to fit this pattern.
Could someone enlighten me?
