Designing societal institutions like the FDA for eternity may not sufficiently account for their decay due to regulatory capture, cost disease and mission creep. Perhaps we should design for mortality instead, regularly replacing institutions with competing successor designs?

I've often felt that any ideas / rules / regulations / procedures put into place should have a "negative interest" mechanism applied to them ...either we re-invest in them to keep them fresh or let them fade and become replaced with newer / better alternatives.

I've also wondered what effect such a pattern would have on the legal systems we have. What if old laws would (by design) fade out of relevance, demanding that we keep revisiting, refreshing, re-contextualizing them (or losing them altogether).

Perhaps laws should have evaluation criteria attached to them at the time of passing them, and they should be automatically revoked by default if the expected improvements are not met.
