[FRIAM] deductive fidelity (was Re: ideas are lies)

[Marcus Daniels]

As EricC mentioned, free will is baked into the libertarian thinking.   That's just some random thing they believe for no good reason.   Some degree of mercy is baked even in to some Republican thinking.   Don't appeal to "soft" organizations like churches and charities to fix the things that government leaves broken.   That leaves power (to abuse) on the table.   Design it to _work_.    Observe (or accept) the hard consequences of rigid and incorrect systems and fix (or ignore) them.

Well, part of any data-driven policy would be rolling them back as well as enacting them. To that end, before enacting it, we'd have to define conditions that would trigger its rollback. E.g. when cars get airbags and are driven automatically by credible algorithms, rollback the seatbelt law. When we install universal basic income and poverty levels go below a given mark, rollback some entitlements. Etc.

Don't say social security is a good idea, set it aside; make the money unreachable.   IIRC, this is how it is done in Japan.
