I prefer people who believe in political systems that err on the side of "people are fundamentally good"
-
but as soon as I design something, I focus immediately on the opportunities for abuse and the system collapsing into the it's own incentives
-
but then again, the thing i am looking for in the tools that i build is that they support people to do things with them that are beyond what i anticipated. so i guess i'm also utopian in that regard.

maybe it's just some kind of lesson about utopian visions & then working hard on all the boring details that can lead them off the rails. hm. had hoped this thread would lead to a larger thought than that. oh well!
