You'd rather press a button to generate a team of 500 compassionate geniuses with absolute legal power, who comb through all laws of the country and, according to their best judgment, ______ the amount of all regulations that exist in your country.

ideal regulations are necessarily preferable to ideal freedom (if you prioritize the comfort of the many over the comfort of the few)

If they are geniuses, they *won't* double regulations.
Because they can see how to abstract, merge, and optimise existing ones.
(Less regulations is generally better because they are more likely to be followed and enforced.)

I think many people (seems like roughly 1/4 of respondents) are failing to understand that you can reduce the amount of regulations without reducing the effect of them, given the right language. It's like Jenga, you can remove useless blocks without destroying the structure.

Halve.
Generally speaking, the simpler a system is the more effective and efficient it is.

If you start with 10 regulations, are the halvers choosing 5 of them to keep, or are they writing whatever 5 they want but ending at 5 total? If they have flexibility to write them, halving is a lot more tempting than if they're just deleting.

I'd like a button that leaves it to the 500 compassionate geniuses to decide on how many (and more importantly: which) regulations to add and/or remove.
But this choice of buttons is why the world is a fucking mess. We tell experts to get us the outcome non-experts decided.

Regulations are a broad term that do not quite explain how to properly aid a nation in repairing itself. Some fields need reform/modifications rather than increase/decrease. Been searching for quite a few geniuses for some years now. Nowhere near 500 and none have any real power.

Who the heck chose double??? Is there some inherent benefit of having more laws???
