The nature of human beings, who are able to convince themselves they are doing good while in fact being quite destructive - means you can't set up something great and good that will last forever, with any mechanisms. I think the Cooper Union scandal shows this well enough. Still, Cooper Union lasted a long time in roughly its original form, before our corrupt generation took it down. That much you can hope for.

- Vivtek 10y agoThis is exactly the kind of situation it would be nice to avoid. It's probably impossible. I'll keep thinking. This is the kind of thing I was looking for, though - thanks!
- Nomentatus 10y agoI too will keep thinking on this, hoping to come up with a better mousetrap. Let us know if you come up with a better mousetrap.
