Our society is drowning in contradictory laws and policies: there is no way to enforce the current legal regulations, and yet we demand more legality to embody progressive hope. And yet, instead of fighting through the courts for new policy, it has now been deemed more effective to unearth and weaponize existing, ancient laws.
This reversal, from production as progress to reactivated historic arcana, exemplifies the problem: True stability requires not more rules that create contradictory chaos, but coherent, enforceable frameworks purged of performative excess.
