We are completely surrounded by rules and regulations. If you want to arrange something with the government, a healthcare institution or a company, brace yourself for the forms, attachments and rags of text. And in our attempt to make things simpler, we often just draft more rules. What does this say about how we humans think and organise society? What happens when our institutions are further clogged up by more rules? Are we doomed to get lost deeper and deeper in the maze of rules or is there a way out? Come hear lawyer Rowin Jansen and philosopher Marcel Becker discuss where the proliferation of rules comes from, what the consequences are and whether it could all be easier.
