That’s counter intuitive (at least for you) because in modern society it’s customary to think that people are born tabula rasa and then “it’s all a social construct”. Perhaps we are indeed born with innate preferences, biases, and default sexual orientations …
If you are lost in a city would you rather have the wrong map or no map at all?
The person that has the wrong map and thinks that it’s the right map is the one that’s naive.
Regarding insurance companies, you are conflating ensemble probabilities with time probabilities. Insurance companies can estimate the ensemble probability of an event in a group of agents which belong to a certain category and not the time probability of said event on a single agent.
What is an ensemble probability of something that has never occurred and is essentially impossible to model? Have you seen all infinite alternate universes? Probability does not make sense.
Compare the following:
What is the probability that you will die today?
What is the probability that you will die today given that you belong to the category of people with A_i characteristics and whose ensemble probability of dying on a given day has been measured?
Essentially trust. If your bank does not have relations with a foreign bank in a faraway country, both can use an intermediary bank that both trust and do have relations with.

The fact that it’s difficult or expensive to track does not mean it cannot be. Technically it’s possible to force every cash handling business to scan (just like you scan an UPC) each bill.
The problem (with science in general) is in trying to collapse multivariate and multicausal representations of reality into a single value (cf. Procrustes).
- strict separation of concerns.
- only outbound hiring.
- no hiring of people who can be blackmailed.
- understand your threat model.
- if you were an enemy and had to break into your org, what would you do? Improve that.
