People keep asking for incentives, sometimes to incentivise people doing it, sometimes to incentivise people not to do it.. I just don’t think it’s the point, incentive in either direction. We make a destructive button, and we find out whether people press it, and we try to all live up to the standard the Petrov set, of taking responsibility for the consequences even though nobody told him to.
hummmmm. ok maybe I agree. plus, maybe the more interesting function to optimize is who to select to hold a code rather than how to create proper incentives.
I would find it really inspiring for us to be able to select a large group of people that don’t press the button “just because it’s our symbolic tradition” :)
I think if we instill this norm, it might create an incentive

Yeah, that’s the main point. To have a large group of people who live up to Petrov.
