Exactly. An oath means nothing: what you need is skin in the game.
Some health practitioners are literally bought by Big Pharma, by their hospital accountant, etc. How would an oath fix that? Same with engineers or any other discipline.
You need to make sure that everyone in the process has skin in the game. For me it's less about control (legislation) than about responsibility and accountability (assessments, eating your own dog food).
- ethanbond 6y agoWhat does “skin in the game” mean precisely in this context?
- jlnthws 6y agoHaving personal exposure, taking accountability for your actions. From Taleb of course. The case of Snowden shows how bad it can turn when not everybody in the loop has skin in the game (asymmetry). Ironically, his behavior tells us he has been faithful to some kind of oath, but apparently none of his coworkers or supervisors.
