Maybe. If we think about it in terms of nations, this is sort of like saying "We can't be sure the next generation won't just abolish democracy and elect a king". That's true, but we can make that very hard.

Americans invented the solution, as I'm implying: just give everyone a gun. This makes it possible in the US to allow people to be crazy, "you're allowed to say what you want, just stay out of my house". It makes them extremely tolerant of "variants" and resistant to top-down control. Tolerating variants, encouraging mistakes (bad enterprise, eg) is the American dream.

What would be the "internet" analogy to that..
