A lot of things are more dangerous than going over speed limits, and it will not be possible to prevent everything with technical gadgets.

- op00to 1y agoSo let’s just do nothing! Why bother doing anything!
- const_cast 1y agoYes, this is exactly my problem with this type of reasoning. You can make these arguments for anything. If we can't even get the most obvious low-hanging fruit because "aww it's slightly inconvenient" then we can't even DREAM of solving complex problems. This new "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas" mentality towards policy is so toxic. That's the only guaranteed way to not solve a problem! It's an anti-solution!
- gregoriol 1y agoSometimes not solving a problem could actually be better. We have to try new things, I do agree, all the time. But every time you change something, you also create ways for new problems.
- const_cast 1y agoI agree with this, too. But institutions and systems need constant maintenance and tweaking. Like code, they rot in the face of an ever-changing society.
