I think the two can be called "rule of law" or "rule of men". I would have thought more people would support "rule of law".

It was always people who ruled, it's just more apparent when the people who rule are bullies itching for a fight, who care even less about the appearance of consistency.

For moral accountability, it should always in the end be "I say", not "the law says". No one should "just be obeying orders", they should make choices they can stand behind on their own judgment, regardless of whether some group of possibly long dead legislators stood behind it or not.


Most Americans get plenty of protein without trying. It's hard to see how eating more meat should help unless you think the amount of protein actually needed is much more than what the May Clinic thinks: https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/hometown-health/speak...

> Choosing to park my car correctly because I used get tickets is a reactive action.

How do you explain someone who chooses to park correctly and has never received a parking ticket?


Why do I need to? I didn’t propose some framework to analyze people who are perfect.

This thread chain is about people who do something and it doesn’t work out.


Could your parking have been better? How so?

If you answered "no" to the above question then you answered wrong. This is true for s/parking/*/ because perfect doesn't exist.


More of a labhome than a homelab at that point.


> It's emergent complexity, not compression.

They might be the same thing.
