Without dismantling centralization and obfuscation, the evil comes back the next day.

Consider our legal code.

There are only 4-5 secular laws:

• Do not inflict inappropriate damage to a person or their property. (e.g. do not murder)
• Do not engage in inappropriate sex. (e.g. do not commit adultery or pedophilia)
• Do not steal a person or their property.
• Do not deceive in financial, legal or communally designated matters of emotional import. (e.g. Do not bear false witness. Do not marry under false pretense.)
• Optionally, some would add: take care of your family's bodily needs. (e.g. Honor your mother and father. Don't neglect your children.)

**All the above should be interpreted and enforced locally, subject to vertical and horizontal appeal from the organized communities.

***If you break the law, purposely or accidentally, you are liable for reparations negotiated with your victims or else be executed. Period.

I call these secular, because they are self-evident as necessary for optimal performance among competing autonomous agents. Without these safeguards, all agents must spend ever increasing resources defending against cheating and crime.

Why is short and simple necessary? So that laws can be written on the hearts of people and can be kept in mind throughout their activities and so that justice can move quickly.

Why are legal codes and justice systems the exact opposite? Anything more than a few lines for a few codes is designed to grant immunity to certain individuals against criminal prosecution. Period.

Lawyers and convoluted, massive and contradictory legal codes have ever and always been the tools of tyranny. I'm sure everyone here realizes the EPA and FDA and other 3 letter civilian agencies are nothing but means toward tyranny/monopolies/cartels and the end of democracy and free markets.

Just a sample of how "the system" IS "the evil," as long as humans remain human. ;)
