I have a new theory.

In this world, we should try to find the right balance in everything. That is, in society, in law, in technology, our overriding goal should be just to prevent our systems from breaking unrecoverably (e.g. everyone dying).

Evolution guides all these processes, and everything else too, it seems. So as the ideologues battle, I'm going to try to keep a bit of perspective. I'll try to remember that theories and ideologies are merely forces nudging the evolution of our systems, and can never be entirely self-coherent. They are only coherent inasmuch as they recognize they would fail if implemented in toto, and that they are only one part of a much bigger, much slower process.

Well, maybe it's not really new. Maybe it's just the Dao.
