Well, the premise is that there are 40 guards guarding one person's wealth -- which is a hierarchy. The guards are below, the wealthy person is above. And you were talking about what keeps them in their place rather than taking over

Humans will suffer very bad leadership indeed. Not only does the leadership not need to be "the best" -- they can be very abusive and tyrannical for a very long time, before any kind of collective revolt is organized. "all e

"If you hire 40 goons to guard your furs, those goons could physically overpower you and take your furs for themselves." ^ At best they get to split the furs up among 40 people instead of 41. (And if the 1 removed is actually doin

That's a pretty absurd thing to say. Each individual bodyguard has no reason to think they would have a higher rank after a coup replacing the "one person." They absolutely don't need to believe that the person at the to

It's not impossible to trust someone without formal vetting. It's irresponsible for a bureaucracy to trust someone without accountability.

It's not both. Either the taxi driver went through the process of being hired as HR personnel for the corporation, or else they didn't. > what do you mean when you say "Maybe the powerless person is a homophobe" ? Th

A secret homophobe? Who said it was a secret? It's just as likely that it wasn't particularly secret. If a homophobe was working for HR (in 2022) they would hide it, even to the extent of making sure to hire some percentage gays

How is it convoluted? Maybe the powerless person is a homophobe. Is that complicated or unrealistic? This story is supposedly about an actual taxi driver, not a plant from HR. It's absurd to trust this person like this.

Okta and OneLogin are both private corporations that have each existed for 13 years. Does your threat model include an estimate for how long they will stay in business? What if one of them puts the other out of business? Does your threat

The other solutions don't work in the real world either. If somebody says that their Facebook account is lost and can't be recovered, people will believe them and not Facebook.

Sure it wouldn't be "inconsistent" to say "the tendency of the rate of profit to fall" is "driving inequality" but I don't think that's actually what anyone is saying here.
