Serveral months ago i came to the realization that the only good thing you can do for everyone, all at once, is to give them all options.
The chance to make choices.
Anything other than that is just too hamfisted. Whats good for me may be terrible for you. What you consider fair may be my definition of tyranny.
People are so different that trying to make a one size fits all solution for them is an impossible task.
This is why centralized and hierarchical government is so persistently dysfunctional no matter how it's been tweaked over the years; the problem is in it's very premise.
The concept itself is flawed.
Letting people choose their path through life and preventing them from externalizing the consequences of their choices onto others may be the only level of top-down enforcement that is worth doing.
Because this creates conditions very similar to how nature determines winners and losers: survival and proliferation of those that adapt the best to their environment.
Ie, those that make the best choices.
