Closed systems run down and get more chaotic over time. Always get better by being 'open' to outside energy and templates of better ways to function.

I'm not after a closed system, I mean I'm after a complicated system in structure, but as far as watching it, I don't think that everything should be decided.

There's a big tendency to gravitate toward a closed and proprietary approach too easily.

For something to collapse, not all systems have to shut down. In most cases, just one system is enough. For example, the human body is a system of systems. If just one system, such as the cardiovascular system, shuts down, death follows.

The United States can't keep a completely open system if the rest of the world is less open. The United States may have to take a leaf out of the book of Japan, China, and Germany, and have protectionism inside the system.

An open-door policy doesn't do much for a closed mind.

I don't want to shut down the government.

Nobody wants to shut down the government.

I don't like a class system. I don't like the idea of being in a different class than other people.

I build no system. I ask an end to privilege, the abolition of slavery, equality of rights, and the reign of law. Justice, nothing else; that is the alpha and omega of my argument: to others I leave the business of governing the world.
