The purpose of the system (the police in this casse) is what it does.
Nope. That's an ideology, not a statement of fact. It completely negates the possibility that systems can become corrupted (or simply fail) and no longer work towards their original purpose.
- uoaei 1y agoNope. That's an imposition of metaphysics onto what is solely clearly mere empiricism.
- arrowsmith 1y ago"systems can become corrupted (or simply fail) and no longer work towards their original purpose" Er, that's exactly what "the purpose of a system is what it does" means.
- chongli 1y agoNo, “the purpose of a system is what it does” implies that the original intent of the creators of a system was for it to become corrupted.
- arrowsmith 1y agoThat's one way to read the literal meaning of the words, but it's not what the phrase means as originally intended.
- chongli 1y agoRight, but then we apply the phrase to itself and this is what we get!
- immibis 1y agoNope. You added that extra word "original" in there.
