What can a large group of people do helpfully about Mitigating-Alienative-Conflicts?

 1. A large group of people can help to generated-a-significant-level-of-consensus
about which mutually-supportive-balanced-virtues can most widely be trusted - - -
as healthy-guides to healthy-behaviors in a wide range of contexts - - - without 
needing to be paired with additional complementary virtues.

 2. Candidate-individual-virtues can be listed in alphabetic order without prejudice;
and people asked to rate them according to the following kind of scale:
    
    5. Rarely, if ever, need to be complemented with another balancing virtue.
    4. Often needs to be complemented with one or more other balancing virtue(s).
    3. Occasionally needs to be complemented with another balancing virtue.
    2. Usually needs to be complemented with another balancing virtue.
    1. Rarely, if ever, can be trusted alone without another balancing virtue.

 3. Then the candidate-virtues can be put in order according to the average rank
    received within the large group of people.

 4. The group's participants can then offer candidate pairs-of-virtues; to be
    treated as above; to help generate some consensuses about which Pairs-of-Virtues
    can most widely be trusted as PAIRED-VIRTUES, to serve as healthy-guides to
    healthy-behaviors in a wide range of contexts - - - - without needing to be 
    paired with a third complementary-virtue to be "safe".

 5. The process can be extended to triplets and quartets of complementary virtues.
