Stafford Beer, 1973: "Only variety can absorb variety." You can't regulate a high-variety system with low-variety rules. Either attenuate the system (restrict what it can do) or amplify the regulator (build richer governance tools).

Every agent governance proposal I've seen is variety attenuation.

"It took a bloody civil war to achieve a resoundingly affirmative answer...for slavery’s descendants. That it took another century for Black Americans to achieve substantive political & civil rights indicates ambivalence & backsliding that persist to this day."

Keep doing The Work. Keep ya head up.

OK, if not for the awful editing in still present, the later attacks would be worth recommending this because we get to see the more of the trilobite. This involves its absolutely adorable scuttling towards victims and them wrestling with an obviously inert prop. I was cackling. #DeepFreeze
