Does self policing constitute anarchist? The few times I've dug into the background of anarchist communities have shown they do have some enforcement of social standards, and can effectively be viewed as a smaller scale government tha

The core problem is that at the end of the day no one has to play nice. So we have to have government to set rules about ownership (among other things). But then some entity has to be in charge of government, which means they are actually

One idea I've seen is the idea that a dollar of funding spent elsewhere can reduce crime more than a dollar of funding spent on policing. This isn't true for every dollar, as funding often comes with diminishing returns. For exa

People are very apt to justify or condemn a decision based off of the result and not based off of the data available at the time the decision was made. Only one of these helps us make better decisions going forward.
