Arguably the rule of law was one of the major achievements of modern democracies.
The rational and fair balance of conflicts arising from the general pursuit of colliding, and scarce interests.
And yet what would be truly exceptional, and useful, would be the unrule of law, something most religions have found to be attractive: life after death, miracles, reincarnation, paradise, remission of sins.
Computer software has developed this possibility most efficiently: the undo command, the copy / paste, the mirror and flip commands, and so many other; all have this unnatural ontological status. And yet there's no strangeness in using them anymore.
How often would we push the Restart button, should it be available in our lives?
