This was not my point at all. Maybe I could explained better, but main criticism I have is: you can bundle together objectives ( which are inherently good ) and create an utopia. But those cannot always be achievable.

Everything in life in trade-offs. Simple example is speed/quality/cost. I can tell easily:

- services should be cheap - services should be fast - services should be high quality

Now I created an utopia. Obviously this is amazing to listener. They agree. But is it achievable?

It is not saying greed is good or might makes right. But system means you need to construct from this ideals best outcome ( which comes at some trade offs)

Your idea and its (perhaps unsatisfying to you) resolution can be summed up easily by John Quincy Adams’ quote:

“Duty is ours. Results are God's”

[bluesign]

Yeah but my point is sometimes suboptimal parts can give better overall results. ( Considering also bad actors )

Yeah there were probably more appropriate subthreads to have responded to. My point wasn’t quite neatly directed against yours.
