A comparison of decision-making methods: majority vote, consensus, consent, autocratic decisions, and the trickiest one: "no decision-making method."

@SociocracyForAll It seems the only difference between consensus and consent is the willingness to hear objections, and the vague mention of an authority to override objections to enact an outcome. Is the authority authoritarian or democratic?
It was good to point out that some objections might not be heard due to personalities. Is this moderated by some method to object anonymously?
@lwriemen @SociocracyForAll I think the linked article explains more than the image.
Q1 there is no “authority,” power is distributed and shared by all in the process
Q2 objections cannot be anonymous for the process to work. An experienced facilitator is needed to get those voices out
@ecosentido @SociocracyForAll FWIW, I did read the article, which is why I still wanted some clarification. Thanks for the reply.
