This was not my point at all. Maybe I could explained better, but main criticism I have is: you can bundle together objectives ( which are inherently good ) and create an utopia. But those cannot always be achievable.
Everything in life in trade-offs. Simple example is speed/quality/cost. I can tell easily:
- services should be cheap
- services should be fast
- services should be high quality
Now I created an utopia. Obviously this is amazing to listener. They agree. But is it achievable?
It is not saying greed is good or might makes right. But system means you need to construct from this ideals best outcome ( which comes at some trade offs)
- datsci_est_2015 4mo agoYeah there were probably more appropriate subthreads to have responded to. My point wasn’t quite neatly directed against yours.
- hammock 4mo agoYour idea and its (perhaps unsatisfying to you) resolution can be summed up easily by John Quincy Adams’ quote: “Duty is ours. Results are God's”
- bluesign 4mo agoYeah but my point is sometimes suboptimal parts can give better overall results. ( Considering also bad actors )
