Power corrupts, end of story.

Democracy (limited terms), taxation and anti-monopoly regulation are examples that show a path to cure the disease.

Nobody should be trusted with too much power for too long.

Sortition may be what you're looking for: "sortition is the selection of public officials or jurors at random, i.e. by lottery, in order to obtain a representative sample". No one can amass power because it's short term and random.

I think B. F. Skinner liked that sort of things. (In "Walden Two" he gives a rather detailed description of a contraption to conveniently carry around a glass full of a hot beverage without risk of spilling; I'm positive it was one of his inventions.)

Walden Two is one hidden gem! I love this book.

REQUEST to include the 4DWW (Four Day Work Week) tag & text in the description to provide a clear signal to companies that workers are yearning for it.

Amazon lists it as book 3 of 3 in a series - do you need to have read the first two?
yboris · 2 months ago
Never read the first two, love Accelerando, unsure what I was missing; feels like a well-written self-contained story.
