Very happy to report that this is out today! It's about how criminal law should handle willful ignorance in corporations--not just WI individuals but structures of WI that management knows will make the company less likely to discover risks of harm. academic.oup.com/ojls/advance-a…

@levinguever These are great Qs, thank you so much! Yes was thinking along the lines of B for the problem case for Actualism. But I do think there are moves A. could make. More to discuss for sure!

Indiana Jones and the decision by university management to shut down the archaeology program bc it doesn't score well enough on their odd metric of impact/growth potential devised by some MBAs at PwC, even though the department is highest ranked on research quality in the country
