> Very frequently updated laws everywhere (multiple orders of magnitude faster than today)
This generally works by giving a government agency the ability to frequently redefine the placeholders in the laws

Democracy is inherently a poor choice whenever expertise is needed. It's better to let experts do their thing and then hold them accountable for the results.
- Hermitian909 4y agoWe generally agree except that: 1. Agencies necessarily have limited scope and tools available. 2. In practice, not all complex topics can be handed wholly to agencies in a democratic system, inevitably people and legislators want a say on some of the bigger issues (housing, healthcare, etc.) It's worth noting that agencies today are heavy users of gray area laws and still often find themselves overburdened with policy decisions. Iterated gamesmanship can only make that load heavier.
