Basically how the Persians used to debate:
"In Herodutus’ discussion of the Persians, he wrote (Book I, chapter 133) that they decide upon important issues by first getting drunk. Once drunk, they start the debate and then come up with a decision. The next day when they are all sober, they decide whether they want to go through with the decision made. If yes, they go through with it. If they decide against it, they drop it and go back to square one which starts by getting drunk again."
What I thought of was:
- State the problem
- Get drunk
- Find an answer
- Sober up
- Study the problem again
- If you came to the same conclusion as when you were drunk, you are OK.
