Overview
Making right decisions is one of the core competencies of this system.
It is what allows the nation to navigate reality through time and not fall off a cliff into oblivion.
It is what allows the nation to uplift its people and show them how it is done.
The Office of Conscience might seem redundant, but it does serve a useful function as a backup office and it tries to answer an important question: "Is this conscionable?"
It is possible for the Office of Rightness to get a proposal wrong, particularly if it lacks knowledge and is inexperienced.
The Office of Conscience can help catch mistakes.
In answering whether something is conscionable, the Office can seek out public sentiment.
The Office of Conscience intercepts proposals from the Office of Rightness on their way to the Office of Feeling, Sensing, Perception, and Data.
It processes them and returns them to the Office of Feeling, Sensing, Perception, and Data.
If it finds something unconscionable, it attaches a warning to the proposal and its report on why the proposal is unconscionable.
If there is no finding, nothing is done and the proposal is unaltered.
As a result of an unconscionable finding, the Office of Feeling, Sensing, Perception, and Data will add unconscionable to its data, the Office of Priorities will re-prioritize, and the
Office of Rightness will mark the proposal as wrong the next time it comes around.
Proposals marked unconscionable must go around the system one more time so that they pass the Office of Rightness again.
To determine whether something is unconscionable, the Office of Conscience can access feeling data from the Office of Feeling, Sensing, Perception, and Data.
It can also poll the populace directly to determine public sentiment on the proposal.
It may also seek advice from people who are exceptionally of good character, even though the office should be populated by people of good character anyway.
The Office can consult law books any other source of what makes something conscionable.
The reason why we want to test for conscionability is because we don't want the nation to get itself into a position where it is doing something unconscionable; either directly or by association.
Such positions can turn the people against the nation or even cause the nation to lose allies.
Unconscionability leads to degeneration if it is not caught and we don't want to go down that path because we know degeneration leads to tyranny.
The Office of Conscience prevents the nation from going down the path of tyranny.
