There be dragons.

Better a high trust society with some checks and balances than one ruled by "don't write down anything" sociopaths.

tell that to the lawyers who make a living defending corporations and putting up legal firewalls of plausible deniability

If only incompetence was a crime.

Which one do you think you currently live in?

Regardless when it's in my power I'd rather encourage a high trust society.

To be clear, I don't like how it is. But if corporations have a personality, they either verge on or go full hog on sociopathic. Any corporate lawyer will tell management to not write down potentially incriminating.

The better among corporations actually try to do the right thing, most of the time. But of course, if there's some kind of incident, there's still a lockdown mentality.
