Hey! Thanks for your reply. I agree, people who quote Hayek would not likely argue for more regulation (though for the record neither of us at Ground Truth are libertarians—we can see the merit of an idea outside of the context of who comes up with it).
I have one idea for a power outside of government: the public. Consumers. Investors. What if there was a great popular movement to see concrete evidence of project activities and impacts?

It would work, but it is not simple to get one; you’d need a culture of people who can actually distinguish between true and fabricated evidence, and be generally epistemically rational, and the questions must not form disconnected beliefs network. Net of falsehoods might collapse eventually; but with adversaries, net of truth could be warped as well.

True. I’ve seen this happen firsthand.
But we will try. And maybe this is where it starts. Perhaps this audience is receptive to such a message.
