Rule by man divides people into different classes, uniting some, ignoring others, and suppressing/exploiting a portion.
The rules of a society governed by man are not fixed, as they can change based on the closeness of your relationship with someone; thus, the cognitive demands on an individual in such a society are high. Those with lower cognitive abilities or those further from key nodes have no opportunity for advancement.
Therefore, the optimal solution in a society governed by man is to get as close as possible to key nodes and strengthen connections with them. For example, Gao Qiu originally was a social drifter associated with Su Dongpo, but after entering the Prince's residence, he became the chief footballer and eventually the Minister of Defense of the Song Dynasty. (There is no sarcasm intended towards Harris here; Harris has his own abilities. 😂)
Rule of law (logically) creates a universally accepted algorithm for society; as long as you act according to the rules, you will not go wrong. Of course, rule of law can be divided into different levels, with the most basic being fixed algorithms from a criminal perspective, and a higher level being algorithms related to wealth accumulation and personal fulfillment.
If capitalism is the optimal algorithm for wealth accumulation, then perhaps the optimal algorithm for power is the system of military merit and nobility: a fierce general must rise from the ranks, and a prime minister must emerge from the provinces.
Thus, when comparing the algorithms of China and the United States, one cannot only look at the criminal law perspective; it is also necessary to compare the other two: the algorithm for wealth accumulation and the power algorithm.
For example, the algorithm for university admissions is still simpler and clearer in the context of the college entrance examination. Western algorithms are too complex, with too much operational space, leading to severe corruption.
Of course, the wealth accumulation algorithm in the West is simpler, while the protection of private property and industry regulation in the East needs significant improvement.
The power algorithms each have their advantages and disadvantages, but elections are not a good algorithm for individuals. Elections, in simple terms, are an algorithm combining money and power.
Finally, there is the criminal algorithm for ordinary people. In terms of outcomes, the advantages of the East are evident.
