Understanding the Inaccurate Model of Human Behavior That Shapes Our Regulations
The problem lies in our inaccurate model of human behavior. We design the world and create rules based on this flawed model. If we understood reality better, we could set up systems more effectively.

We fail to regulate stories and instead focus on planned dishonesty, neglecting conflicts of interest. This leads to slippery slopes.
