Destruction and creation are a-symmetrical. I had an interesting exchange with another HN&#x27;er not that long ago about that very topic. I ran a community of a million people and it took by my estimates less than 50 dedicated assholes to totally wreck it for everybody else. How they managed that and why I couldn&#x27;t stop it is very much related to how &#x27;open societies&#x27; are impossible to defend against a large enough number of idiots hell bent on destroying them. The ease with which you can destroy something has absolutely no bearing on the amount of hard work it took to create it. Societies are no different in this respect.
