there is an equilibrium that we crossed long ago

It's just an organizational tool, when we start saying 'everything the gov does is evil', we walk right into a trap set by some of the more evil peolpe out there, who want no check on their power etc.

I don't think it's an equilibrium seeking system

that's part of the problem

the 'balanced scales' metaphor is very bad in most social cases

I think you're a bot that is programmed to disagree with everything I say

it mistakes a complex system for an ordered system, which very few social systems are

the earth is spherical in shape

DOES NOT COMPUTE

Hey it’s shot here

GG @I/IgnoreReality, you just advanced to level 1!

No the earth is more of a spherical orb

“Spherical in shape” is merely the wording a simpleton would use

not sophisticated enough?

Of course

these guys wrote a book on what i said above

That’s my clone ^

Don’t listen to my clone

when people don't understand how complex systems work, it's almost impossible to talk to them about social systems, public policy, etc

I’m shot @qwasi the f you saying mate

they try to take an individual-based scenario and apply it society wide, that does not work

Stfu bitch boi

I'm not even sure what point you're trying to prove

that government is complex?

I mean...

I would never tell myself to stfu

After all I am shot

Fuck yummy add

you said "equilibrium we passed", etc, the very idea such a thing existed/exists is part of the problem

Fuck my ass *

Stupid autocorrect

'complex' in this case does not mean complicated or 'having many parts'

so are you arguing we should give the government unlimited power?

That's also not what it means

is that what you're saying?

if it's not, then there is some "imaginary line" where the people have a certain amount of power and the government has a certain amount, that we should strive to find and uphold

and giving the government more power than it needs to do what we want it to is a terrible idea

there is no line to cross. the systems we design have to be adaptive

that metaphor is broken

yes adapt, wow so intellectual
