How human errors and wrong decisions can have such a wide-ranging impact, both at the individual and institutional level. It made me think about how small decisions, from the personal to the governmental, can quickly escalate and generate much larger consequences than we anticipate. Perhaps the real challenge is not in avoiding incompetence altogether (because we are all fallible), but in creating systems that minimise its effects when it inevitably occurs, heh, heh, heh.

Well, systems that minimise the effects of incompetence and failure in general, are distributed systems that are decentralised - like Hive. The thing is though, that they are less efficient and harder to to get large scale operations done at this point.
