imo That can only be possible if you can change human nature itself. Governments are just hacks for the worse aspects of humanity. There are limits to all known forms of government. Historically, humanity always finds some loophole to cheat.
- TaylorAlexander 7y agoI don’t think we need to change human nature. I think we need better (more democratic) institutions that people can rely on.

Fast forward a few decades: the people the regulatory bodies were supposed to watch are now in control of those reg bodies either directly or through heavy lobbying https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture
