"Build laws with an automatic expiration date Musk argued that civilizations accumulate rules and regulations endlessly because "humans die but the laws don't" — and without a built-in removal mechanism, rules written with good intentions become counterproductive bloatware over time. His proposed fix for a new civilization on Mars: laws should have automatic sunset clauses, and "it should be easier to remove a law than to add one" — for example, 60% vote to enact but only 40% to repeal. The same principle applies to any organization: if you have a process for creating rules but no process for deleting them, complexity accumulates until almost nothing can move.
