I explained something for a friend in a simple way, and I think it's worth paraphrasing again here.
You cannot create a system that constrains itself. Any constraint on a system must be external to the system, or that constraint can be ignored or removed. That's just how systems work. Every constitution for every country claims to do this impossible thing, a thing proven is impossible almost 100 years ago now. Gödel's loophole has been known to exist since 1947.
Every constitution in the world, every "separation of powers" and set of "checks and balances," attempts to do something which is categorically impossible. Every government is always, at best, a few steps away from authoritarianism. From this, we would then expect that governments trand towards authoritarianism. Which, of course, is what we see historically.
Constraints on power are a formality, because no real controls can possibly exist. So then democratic processes become sort of collective classifiers that try to select only people who won't plunge the country into a dictatorship. Again, because this claim of restrictions on powers is a lie (willful or ignorant, a lie reguardless) that classifier has to be correct 100% of the time (even assuming a best case scenario). That's statistically unlikely.
So as long as you have a system of concentrated power, you will have the worst people attracted to it, and you will inevitably have that power fall into the hands of one of the worst possible person.
Fortunately, there is an alternative. The alternative is to not centralize power. In the security world we try to design systems that assume compromise and minimize impact, rather than just assuming that we will be right 100% of the time. If you build systems that maximially distribute power, then you minimize the impact of one horrible person.
Now, I didn't mention this because we're both already under enough stress, but...
Almost 90% of the nuclear weapons deployed around the world are in the hands of ghoulish dictators. Only two of the countries with nuclear weapons not straight up authoritarian, but they're not far off. We're one crashout away from steralizing the surface of the Earth with nuclear hellfire. Maybe countries shouldn't exist, and *definitely* multiple thousands of nuclear weapons shouldn't exist and shouldn't all be wired together to launch as soon as one of these assholes goes a bit too far sideways.

Kids went to crèche and kindergarten, they moved back to Germany when the oldest was 7. At home, all 4 spoke standard German. The parents only realized by visiting hours to crèche and kindergarten, that both kids were fluent in Züridütsch

A friend of mine rooted my #Roborock S7 robot vacuum and installed custom software called #Valetudo. Now it runs completely without needing to connect to the manufacturer's servers in China, which gives me more peace of mind. I was surprised that almost all the original fun…

A partially disassembled robot vacuum is spread out on a wooden table. Various internal components are visible, including circuit boards with glowing blue lights, a red and black brush attachment, and other plastic parts. Several small glasses, tools like screwdrivers, and a paper towel are also on the table, indicating a repair or maintenance process in progress.
The image shows a map interface from the Valetudo app, displaying a floor plan with an outlined cleaning path taken by a robotic vacuum. The plan includes various paths and possible obstacles. The app has a blue header with navigation icons, and controls for segment cleaning are visible below the map.
The image shows a statistics screen from valetudo application. At the top, it displays "Total Time" with a reading of "383h 54m 04s." Below, there's a badge with the letters "bcc" in the center, surrounded by a blue and orange border. The text beneath the badge reads, "You've cleaned more than the whole CC Congress: bcc Berlin Congress Center." At the bottom, it shows "Total Area" with a measurement of "17687.88 m²."

The story sharing consists of someone talking about a personal experience that would have seemed unthinkable a month ago: a friend with a missing relative, a car left in the street, a family who had 8 loads of laundry because they couldn’t leave the house, running on the ice and fumbling for the whistle while witnessing somebody being abducted right there, right in front of them.
After each story, there is really nothing to say. It is horrible. We nod. We know. We continue the puzzle.

Here’s an interesting little curio. Was hanging at a friend's place and the conversation wandered to ancient times; when she was 16, an upstate-New-York girl, she took off with a carload of friends and went to Woodstock. She pulled out an original program, dropped from a helicopter near stage-front, and her ticket, uncanceled because by the time they got there the systems had broken down.

A back-and-white background page with a photo of and lyrical quotation from Richie Havens:

paint
the frescoed images by way
of harsh black grandeur
and sliding harkening will' o worlds
to further parts of haven

Lying on that page, an original three-day ticket to Woodstock Music and Arts fair August 15, 16, 17, 1969.

All of this, for people who barely know what any of these terms mean. What they experience is, “Two people you’ve never met have a beef you’ve never heard about over an issue you don’t know about, so your friend can’t see you.

I keep thinking that I should text a friend of mine, tell him how much I've been writing, tell him I mentioned him in something I wrote. Then I remember he died like 4 years ago.
Edit:
It must have been more like 6 or something now that I'm thinking about it. It was part of the way through the first Trump administration. He would have really appreciated the way Trump is unraveling now. One of the last times we talked he was like... "You know man, You used to play 'Baby, I'm an anarchist' and I'd think... ' don't want to throw a brick through a Starbucks window. I kinda like their coffee sometimes.' But the way things have been going lately, I'm kind of looking around and thinking you might be right. Fuck Starbucks. Where's that brick?"
At least I won the SRV vs the Hendrix version of Voodoo Chile debate. Hendrix is just better.
We used to talk about music, especially punk (and rockabilly, and ska, and 2 tone), and poetry, and beer. He liked hop stupid, but I always thought it didn't have the body to match the hops and I always preferred Racer 5. Of course, this time of year we'd be shifting in to red and stout season, and I'd be excited for Lagunitas Russian Imperial and this year's Bourbon County Stout batch.
He was really big in to Star Wars. He missed all of Andor, which is probably the best thing to have come out since the original 3. But I guess he also missed the new trilogy, so maybe it balances out.
He would have really liked all the good music I've run across in the last few years. He had a music blog for a bit.
Yeah... I don't know why it's hitting me so hard now, other than maybe I never had time to really process it before.
