Which organizations would you consider ethical, and which not? Can
you point to specific items in their programs that you equate with
the desired checks and balances?
I can see this being on-topic in terms of competing memeplexes. Would
the NLP memeplex that includes checks and balances be more effective
in transmitting itself than the NLP memeplex that does not? Would the
"power must be shared with limits" meme do better than the "you can
have power with no moral limits" meme?
Which type of organization is more successful, I wonder?
