I have not heard of the “ratchet effect”. Some research on ddg showed me the Collingridge dilemma, but that’s different because it’s about regulation of technology and not law enforcement adoption of tech. Can you point to an example?
- mistrial9 3y agolacking something specific to point to, I will hand-wave by saying that there are at least three different framework "lenses" to add context to these changes.. perhaps one is the "evolutionary spiral" technology-optimist view, like Kevin Kelly at WIRED; two is the "social stability" thinking apparently in that Collinridge book and others; third is the one I refer to, which is brute force politics and law over time.. probably a crude reference to that is "48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene or some historical writing..
