My dangerous idea: Legal System Reboot

My dangerous idea is that of rebooting the legal system. I see that many law hackers are taking advantage of the law for personal benefit. There are a lot of flaws that can not be easily fixed—maybe not even be fixed at all—because of the complex structure of the system combined with a bullet proof bureaucracy. I believe that the system needs a reboot.

A thought experiment I recurrently have is that of deleting the laws of a country or community. From a point onward there are no laws. If from a certain point there are no laws, chaos would initially emerge. We humans, at first would like to take advantage from each other, and soon leaders would emerge that would try to put order. Complete anarchy is not stable from my point of view. New laws would then emerge.

My guess—and I would bet for it—is that good people would take over. Good prevails. New laws would be thought in favor of the people and not of a few. People would have better chances to fight for a law that doesn’t make sense, and to propose how the system should be composed.
The basic blocks of the law system are very old. I’m not saying that it does not work at all. I’m suggesting that we can start from scratch and construct a new updated system that works better with new technologies, markets and crimes that didn’t exist years ago.

If this would become true. My suggestion would be to create a collaborative framework for constructing a new legal system. If we have a platform where we can openly discuss and construct our law system, more people would have a chance to speak up and hence the laws would favour the more and not the few.
