I think we've had a good example recently of why we value the rule of law, and what becomes possible when rulers decide they don't need to attend to it.

This is why I will never file a jira ticket, and just email the head of IT directly!

I think its more that they are just stuck in the conventional stage of ethics, where their ethics are based on external models (laws, religion, etc.).

Edit: not to say what the tweet says isnt another reason for some people (like he says, its one reason), I am just saying the contemporary stage is a bigger reason.

Being fair, this isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes ego, hubris, and/or entitlement can lead people astray in thinking they can push any boundary or any person into submitting to their will. Meanwhile, ignoring potentially necessary safeguards against bully tactics.

Citing this as a person that works directly with policy and law, ignoring the channels versus properly having the processes reviewed and changed accordingly can render a catastrophic effect. For reference, please review the current state of law and civility within the office of the POTUS due to simply ignoring the checks and balances.

Humans are monkeys and systems should exist for good reason.
