Over time, harmful rules and feedback loops become load-bearing, so attempts at reform threaten to unravel the whole system. This makes genuine change feel impossible from the inside, even when most people agree the results are bad.<br/><br/>That&#39;s why small fixes so often fail, and why entrenched problems like callout culture, structural racism, or carbon markets persist. The system learns how to protect itself.<br/><br/>Breaking out of this trap usually requires more than reform. It calls for revolutionary change: a reset of the rules rather than tweaks within them. And history suggests that kind of break doesn&#39;t need a majority at first; it only takes a small, determined minority, a few percent of the population, to push a system past its tipping point.<br/><br/>In short: Accidental governance creates self-preserving systems, and only organized, active pressure at the right scale can break them open. 2025-09-21T13:03:00Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrt3s2dvc4qzkh2gfdqg9436f6dvr6treljs8795myqzncl792c9qzyzcml73x4fjfvtvhfp7xdukug959exugq0hxkrpecuka8u2c5r8vk99mtam In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsznz9zse7mkr7y9lw6ync8hpgjsjn7axle6lyxwtdl5c7u2mtjhwc3kygmp'>nevent1q…ygmp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Sir the systems don&#39;t just create rules, they build those rules into the very bones of how the system works. When that happens, the rules stop being optional. They become part of the structure that keeps everything standing. If you try to pull them out, it isn&#39;t just the bad rule that disappears: whole chunks of the system collapse with it.<br/><br/>This is what makes some systems feel self-preserving. The parts reinforce one another, so even when people recognize that something is harmful, the cost of removing it is too high for those with the power to make changes. Think of it like a spider web: you can&#39;t cut one thread without weakening the whole thing, and the web &#34;defends itself&#34; by making change seem too risky.<br/><br/>It&#39;s a bit like the game Nomic, where players can rewrite the rules of the game as part of playing it. Sometimes, though, the rules that get written can trap the players: they make it impossible to change the system without breaking the game itself. In the real world, accidental systems do this all the time. They evolve rules that protect themselves, so any attempt to reform them feels like pulling out a keystone, the cost of fixing the problem looks worse than leaving the problem in place. 2025-09-21T12:58:43Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsznz9zse7mkr7y9lw6ync8hpgjsjn7axle6lyxwtdl5c7u2mtjhwczyzcml73x4fjfvtvhfp7xdukug959exugq0hxkrpecuka8u2c5r8vknwrq7e In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsr9zcgwz9zu4hs97cy243tvfey43yguvfjfusc6ycf9h2ex3au6yqnmkwq6'>nevent1q…kwq6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>What&#39;s even worse is that the system can encode ways of ensuring that the structural rules are difficult if not impossible to change without destroying the whole system. If webs of structural dependencies are created, then cutting out the undesirable part can end up always being more expensive to enough people with power that change becomes untenable. 2025-09-21T12:57:51Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsr9zcgwz9zu4hs97cy243tvfey43yguvfjfusc6ycf9h2ex3au6yqzyzcml73x4fjfvtvhfp7xdukug959exugq0hxkrpecuka8u2c5r8vkw8qqsk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxjt20lrm3wcv0rl70wmpay37zz9lrpvwnv3dp9n8k2vnmtgzj0xq4zyk02'>nevent1q…yk02</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Social media companies wanted to keep people engaged, so their platforms reward posts that get a lot of attention. Outrage, shaming, and public callouts get tons of clicks and shares, so those posts spread the fastest. Over time, people learned that calling others out was the best way to be seen. The end result is a culture of public shaming, even though nobody set out to create it.<br/><br/>Most people agree racism is wrong, but many of our schools, neighborhoods, and laws were built in times when racism was common. Those old rules left behind patterns: wealth in some communities, poverty in others, and different levels of policing and opportunity. Even if nobody today wants racism, the system still keeps producing unequal results. (not claiming that no one wants racism)<br/><br/>Cap and Trade was designed to cut pollution by putting limits on emissions and letting companies trade credits. But in practice, some companies treated credits like permission to pollute, while others found ways to game the system. Instead of cutting pollution, the program sometimes just moved it around, or even made it worse. 2025-09-21T12:53:29Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxjt20lrm3wcv0rl70wmpay37zz9lrpvwnv3dp9n8k2vnmtgzj0xqzyzcml73x4fjfvtvhfp7xdukug959exugq0hxkrpecuka8u2c5r8vk2zm5u6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgnlk3srlvkrkueqvy0u55yhfhfypx98cdd5al3rf0jde84jga4pqk0rytl'>nevent1q…rytl</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Systems can run themselves in ways nobody meant them to.

Each artifact in the system has a cybernetic relationship to all the others. So over time thee loops &#34;lock in&#34; behaviors, rules, and patterns that steer people, organizations and societies.<br/><br/>The strange part is: the results don&#39;t always match what anyone want. In fact, they can create exactly the opposite of what was intended.

Weaponize the justice department and go after his enemies. <br/><br/>He will fix the 2026 #election and ensure that he has a 2/3 majority in the #house and #senate. <br/><br/>He will expand and overstep #executive authority and turn #POTUS into a king. The #SupremeCourt will bless him, and any notion of #SCOTUS checking the #President will be dead.<br/><br/>#America&#39;s experiment with #Democracy will be over.
