Most states in human history, including most now existing, are pretty
much the definition of *un*friendly. That there has never been a case
yet where people's rule-of-thumb attempts to "describe good, safe
human life using a system of rules" haven't led to the death,
imprisonment and in many cases torture of many, many people, seems to
me one of the stronger arguments against a rule-based system.
