@spaf "A free society can survive only through men and women of integrity." Adm. Hyman G. Rickover, 1974
And yet we _still_ elect people who admit to having no integrity, are convicted felons, drunks, and pedophiles.
@agreeable_landfall I admire Admiral Rickover, but in this instance I think we need to move past a simple reliance on "good people", which gets us the Byzantine generals problem.
In moving to a society that minimizes or eliminates profit and "getting ahead", we can cut right to the motivating heart of corruption.
Since societies are made of people, that requires driving scarcity to zero, which means adopting habits and preferences and tech that don't pretend physics is a joke.
