Tornado Alley (PROG)

[StephanieVanbryce]

The more secretive or unjust an organization is, the more leaks induce fear and
paranoia in its leadership and planning coterie. This must result in minimization
of efficient internal communications mechanisms (an increase in cognitive
"secrecy tax") and consequent system-wide cognitive decline resulting in
decreased ability to hold onto power as the environment demands adaption.

Hence in a world where leaking is easy, secretive or unjust systems are
nonlinearly hit relative to open, just systems. Since unjust systems, by their
nature induce opponents, and in many places barely have the upper hand, mass
leaking leaves them exquisitely vulnerable to those who seek to replace them
with more open forms of governance.

Only revealed injustice can be answered; for man to do anything intelligent he
has to know what's actually going on.

Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible
government owing no allegiance and acknowledging
no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible
government, to befoul this unholy alliance between corrupt
business and corrupt politics is the first task of statesmanship.
