For example, I try to push back against rules I perceive as hierarchical in nature by default as a way to understand why they were set up in the first place, usually to bend them (when constructive or at least harmless) or break them/tear them down (when that might yield greater freedom for a community).
My intention is as per [[Chesterton's fence]], but I may sometimes overdo this and come across as unnecessarily disruptive :) All feedback welcome!

- [[quote]] In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.” To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: “If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it. 1)
