Long-term governance is hard.

I have been thinking recently, how could you design governance for a high-end nursing home so that the facility perpetually serve the rotation and interests of its residents. Without governance, such a facility would quickly trend towards entropy. The first step of entropy is pillage by the executive.

When I look around, adversarial systems (courts, parliaments) seem to be a device for building bedrock for better civilisation. I don’t think charity is, due to the governance obstacles.
