The temptation to abuse intelligence data is too great. I can't think of any structure centralized structure that wouldn't eventually be corrupted. This is why police powers reside with the states not the federal government. It is the federal government's responsibility to ensure states are following the Constitution.
- mistermann 4y ago> I can't think of any structure centralized structure that wouldn't eventually be corrupted. Do you mean this literally? Like, if you were to start with a clean slate, free of all norms, premises, and axioms, you couldn't design a system that wouldn't be corrupted (which is different from a system being imperfect)? Heck, one obvious approach is to involve citizens, and make the death penalty a consequence for corruption in certain roles. I think this would substantially alter people's behavior. Something else we could do in conjunction with this: start teaching the public how to think skilfully so they are not so easily misled by people who are taught such things (in schools not available to the public).
