“Intentionally low” barriers have this way of expanding when the people who put the barriers in place either find they don’t work to keep people away, or stand to benefit from making the barrier stronger.
Also, you’re still forcing your decision on people who are poor enough that they can’t afford to get across the barrier easily. (Whether that happens, of course, depends on the exact barrier used.)
You’re right and yes, I am. That’s the downside really. Policy debates should not appear one sided and all that. The upsides appear to outweigh the downsides from where I’m sitting. I just haven’t come across a better system yet and I don’t plan on waiting generations for AI to find an answer for these questions.
I measure a slightly reduced autonomy in areas of obvious harm to be a lesser downside than increased death rates.
