Any thoughts on KSR's thoughts on hacks?

> What I wanted to say with that part of the plot is you can’t hack the system, you have to legislate the system. Because hacks are reversible and they are too secret and they’re kind of like a desire for a technical, silver-bullet solution like you might get out of Silicon Valley people but in fact these are laws, global laws. So what you really need is legislation to change them and Piketty-ing the tax code.




I didn't understand that point. Wouldn't legislation be more reversible than hacking (eg, healthcare, USDA, EPA, etc at the moment due to change of government)? I must be missing something.
