it’s a bad situation to be in where you have to rely on the goodness or righteousness of any one person or organization do something important correctly-but therein lies the seeds of the “enemy”. you crave the guarantees of algorithm and machine to overcome the weaknesses of men

this is the gradual disempowerment engine that has run for centuries. democratic algorithms disempowered kings and dictators. male line primogeniture is significantly more “human” than the voting and legal mechanisms that replaced it

the managerial state of expert committees disempowered individual decision makers. you crave scientific predictability and safety even as that brings about the machine. the risk intolerant society gradually disempowers itself and gives itself to the machine state

you will one day trust a machine to govern the machine state more than you do any ceo or company, and so be it
