Well, I apologize for jarring you. I meant law merely as an example of one place where I think better project management would be useful. I wrote the article quickly and without much editing; that’s why it’s not a Top-Level Post.
See my answer to mindspillage, above, on why I chose law as my example and what a more efficient system might look like.
I think the purpose of law is to (a) help people develop settled expectations about the likely consequences of various kinds of unusually important human social interaction, and (b) optimize those expectations so that they incentivize people to be, e.g., cooperative, fair, and nonviolent. Obviously a person with different ideas about how society should be ordered might have different ideas about what sort of incentives law should provide, but the basic trope of settling expectations and incentivizing good behavior should hold.
I am not sure which inputs and outputs you are referring to, but I would love to hear more about how you think my mind is going wrong—it often does, and sometimes readers here can help me fix it.
