The asymmetric systems example is very true. When I did high school robotics, our robot one year had a large, heavy elevator. I made it so going up used a PID controller and going down was just a constant resistive force (since it was already too fast when falling via gravity).
> Also "defund the police" is a shorthand that typically means "reduce direct law enforcement funding and instead fund other community engagement programs".
"Reform the police" is much more universalist term that people across multiple political spectrums would have gotten behind (and it's still memorable).
