The Genius of a Good Law.
The genius of a good law is it distils a multitude of complex fields of human experience and learning, and signals what society values the most.
All the challenges, decisions, successes and failures; studies, calculations, observations, research, experimentation, psychology, ethics, virtues, and common good can be boiled down to a simple statement, or even a number.
How do we care for children?
We drive at 40km/h past a school during drop off and pick up times.
That Law attends to the Matter of efficient commerce in a safe Manner.
The Law signals ‘We prioritise our children above all else.’
When we drive at 40 - we signal we subordinate our needs to a greater good.
