The agreement must not be perfectly enforced. Human judgement is necessary, which means not only the judges and prosecutors, but also the low chance that the system becomes aware of non-problematic violations in the first place.
replyYes, I think we agree on this.
replyInfact I would go so far to say that it requires a constant introspection to evolve society to adapt to its current environment. This would be impossible in a "perfectly" enforced system, or even a vaguely rigid one.
Have you considered that putting locks on things reminds people crime is possible, thus reintroducing the low-hanging fruit of opportunistic petty theft and creating a situation where the cure (locks) is exacerbating the disease (theft)?
replyThe locks, the speed limits, the restrictions all remind one of how they're being limited; not by their own ability but rather an extrinsic force. I'm sure that this can breed subconscious resentment. I'd question if this is ultimately a good thing at all, but it IS hard to imagine a world without locks
