It seems like you have an expectation that human systems could be perfect, and I’m curious where that comes from or what sustains it.
- brailsafe 4y agoThere's plenty to criticize urban development systems that make people getting killed by drunk drivers more likely, but there's no aspect of intentionality in chance accidents. If we build a system that's supposed to dole out punishment, it should at least be able to prevent that happening, or at least re-evaluate every so often to ensure all previous and active decisions still make sense or whether someone deserves a lot of compensation.
