Why are you being sarcastic about this. Obviously that will be a legal requirement at some point, just like constantly supervising the driver for tiredness is.

I'm not being sarcastic. I'm predicting a trajectory of never-ending increase of regulatory requirements for any human activity which I don't like. Only big players have deep pocket for lobbyists and lawyers to avoid them or resources to implement them.

  • Complexity increases in every system till it fails. Avoiding this entropy may be impossible.

    • A dictatorship by bureaucrats is not a law of the universe. What used to work is that, when entropy increased on the governmental level, people would raise their pitchforks until something changes, for better or for worse.

  • That seems to be the end game. Increase regulations without decreasing them > regulatory capture > big corporations own / operate everything, nothing local / no small businesses.
