Maybe sometimes it's better to at least point to a problem - and even articulate it, as Schneier did - than do nothing, if you don't have a proposal. How about

How about bringing law technology - i.e. the technology of establishing laws - closer to the speed of modern times? Things are being done already in the realm of practicing existing laws, as in legal consulting, case search etc. Can we make tech which would help write better laws sooner?
- javajosh 11y agoThe only reason not to offer even a list of possible solutions is because the problem is not be actionable in that framing. It is trivially easy to point out problems in a way that makes it difficult to find solutions. For example, "People don't understand computers well enough," or, "Politics today are just too divisive." Those statements are noise, not signal. The only way to make headway would be to get specific, divide them up, and at that point you're not solving the same problem. BTW I appreciate your attempt to sketch out a shovel (and it's an interesting one!) but I don't think that really addresses Schneier's particular pile.
