Some people in the political world often let loose their thoughts
without giving them much attention or reflecting carefully. If they
observe something that they don't like, they must follow a previous way of reflection before deciding their position, and so they can easily take mistaken positions. The easiest way out is to prohibit everything that may be disagreeable to them personally, and do nothing more.
Narrowness of sight and a foundation in a narrow traditional culture
facilitate this fully.

Taking the political decision regarding nakedness in public as an
example, I propose a pair of diagrams that can be more or less debatable or applicable, but which I believe agree with reality.

Therefore, with respect to nakedness (as could similarly be done with
respect to the use of skirts by men or to marriage between people
independent of gender, etc.), I propose the following diagrams.

Diagram of erroneous political decision making:

1. Personal position: A. I like it. B. I don't like it.
2. Culture: A. Traditional B. Nontraditional.
3. Decision: A. To prohibit. B. To allow.
4. Consequences: A. Positive. B. Negative.

Diagram of correct political decision making:

1. Personal position: A. I like it. B. I don't like it.
2. Culture: A. Traditional. B. Nontraditional. C. Present in other
cultures.
3. Legal reasoning: A. Laws in favor. B. Laws against.
4. Arguments in favor: A. Conclusive B. Good C. Sufficient. D.
Insufficient.
5. Arguments against: A. Conclusive B. Good C. Sufficient. D. Insufficient.
6. Social impact: A. Unknown. B. Foreseeably favorable. C. Neutral. D. Foreseeably unfavorable. E. Various. F. Increasing support. G Decreasing support.
7. Decision: A. To prohibit. B. To delay. C. To experiment. D. To allow.
E. To support cautiously. F. To support fully.
8. Consequences: A. Positive. B. Partially positive. C. Neutral. D. Various. E. Partially negative. F. Negative.

The easy political decision, typical of people in the primary political world, is often based only on the first diagram: "I don't like it,"
"It's not traditional," and then "I prohibit it." And it usually
doesn't include the analysis of consequences, which always exist.

In the Correct Diagram, error is not kept out, but at least it is
arrived at after a desirable process of reflection, and includes the
possibility to experiment and to rectify the error.
