RE: How fast does the corruption come? If we could stop it... we would solve world problems.
An easy way that I use to toss aside ideas of what may work is this...
Can I think of a way to exploit it or get advantage?
If I can think of a way, then so can others, and that also means they likely will think of things I did not.
Simply because I think something is immoral or unethical to do is no stop gap to stop other humans from doing it.
The only mind I can truly read, hear, and somewhat control is my own. :)
I have been thinking in terms of "tribalism" rather than "rule of law" lately. Rule of law seems to be easily corrupted.
It seems that the flaws of tribalism (it's inflexible nature, for one) may be outweighed by the flaws in rule of law, especially in allowing technicalities.
At the end of the day though, in ANY system, it's up to the individual to understand what is right and wrong, and to have the strength to carry on with that. That is a cultural trait, or at least cultures can reinforce the trait.
