The more complex a system becomes the more pieces of it may break.

This is the stick in the spokes of the front wheel of technocracy utopian dreams. For every camera in every hand and microphone in every pocket intended to monitor the public, those recording devices get turned around and catch the central planners behaving poorly.

Over and over again, someone steps in front of a camera they forgot was there. A server poorly secured leaks in the wild. The voting system developed behind closed doors has an oversight the two people who actually understand how it works didn't think of.

The failures will happen.

A concerned public needs to improve methods to go on the offense whenever one happens to exploit the unforced error.

Consider playbooks radical left have to unleash and rush forward with whenever a police shooting occurs. That's not organic. That was developed in the off hours and rolled out whenever a social event provides opportunity. That is the planning necessary to drive forward whenever the technocracy provides an unforced error event.
