I know you listen to TFM. He has a spat With Curt Doolittle

Kritarchy (rule by judges) which TFM criticizes is quite different from just having judges accountable to other things. Under kritarchy there is no larger nation, no national law - only local judges which has the problems TFM outline.

Same way the system of stock holders voting in a company is not the same as universal suffrage just because voting is involved.

Curt wants an ethnostate and legal system which could be arbitrated by a computer because it's written like a programing language.

A computer cannot arbitrate, or at least not in a way different to humans:

  1. Even if AI was developed to human level it would still be neural in nature making it similar to humans with potential biases and flawed logic.
  2. Rigid code could never cover enough and the one writing the rules would decide everything. I doubt people would review that and hold the true rulers accountable.

He doesn't specifically say that computers would judge, I meant to illustrate the strictness of his legal system and its intricate cross reference consistency. He makes the analogy that a law must be Operationally Consistent (because often laws contradict or it's impossible to comply) which reminds me of coders who can write beautiful code but it doesn't matter if it can't compile. Good law in the 21st century should be accountable to a system of checks for consistency like science. We can't know the truth, but we can check for errors. That's what a good compiler does. If there are too many errors, it doesn't run. Everything else can be fixed with a patch (tort).

Even the most perfect law could be abused if say the judge always ruled a certain way for certain people. For example for Jews "not sufficient evidence, not guilty" and for goys "enough evidence, guilty".

The law would be the same and in this scenario internally consistent, but the system would still be broken.
