Politics
Repeal all laws and dissolve all governments.
Aim for individualist anarchism.
Maybe first try libertarianism.
Analogy
Like monkeys inherited their tails, we inherited our governments. And like tails, governments evolved to serve useful purposes, such as to counterbalance injustice. But as we begin to right ourselves, they get in our way and even betray us. Long ago, primates gradually got rid of their tails and then flourished with their newfound freedom.
Charles Darwin described the coccyx as a "rudimentary tail", and Jim Rohn taught that "success leaves clues", so maybe we shouldn't get rid of government completely but just have a vestigial one that supports our freedom.
Consequentialism
Good? Bad? Who knows? We don't know what's "good" or "bad", or even if anything is "good" or "bad". We don't know if something "good" or "bad" has opposite aspects or will turn out to be the opposite, or if laws have "good" or "bad" consequences.
We can only speculate (even if we're informed by sound research and equipped with advanced artificial intelligence) about the consequences of a law, and often our speculation is completely opposite of the actual consequences, since often laws have counterintuitive effects: Laws often backfire, or do more harm than good.
Even scientists' hypotheses of controlled studies are often wrong. How can we expect legislators' hypotheses of the effects of certain laws on chaotic societies to be any better?
However, we can reason (not speculate) about whether a law is fair.
So when choosing whether to enact a law, let's consider not whether the law will have "good" or "bad" consequences but whether the law is fair.

Henry David Thoreau
I generally agree with Henry David Thoreau.
I heartily accept the motto,—"That government is best which governs least;" and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe,—"That government is best which governs not at all;" and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have.
Let's allow evolution.
[The American government] never of itself furthered any enterprise, but by the alacrity with which it got out of its way. It does not keep the country free. It does not settle the West. It does not educate. The character inherent in the American people has done all that has been accomplished; and it would have done somewhat more, if the government had not sometimes got in its way.
Let's focus on acting morally, not legally.
Can there not be a government in which majorities do not virtually decide right and wrong, but conscience?—in which majorities decide only those questions to which the rule of expediency is applicable? Must the citizen ever for a moment, or in the least degree, resign his conscience to the legislator? Why has every man a conscience, then? I think that we should be men first, and subjects afterward. It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right. The only obligation which I have a right to assume, is to do at any time what I think right. It is truly enough said, that a corporation has no conscience; but a corporation of conscientious men is a corporation with a conscience. Law never made men a whit more just; and, by means of their respect for it, even the well-disposed are daily made the agents of injustice.
Hans Monderman
I generally agree with Hans Monderman.
Minimalism: Less is more.
The trouble with traffic engineers is that when there's a problem with a road, they always try to add something. To my mind, it's much better to remove things.
"With freedom comes responsibility." – Eleanor Roosevelt
We're losing our capacity for socially responsible behaviour. The greater the number of prescriptions, the more people's sense of personal responsibility dwindles.
The Golem effect is the opposite is the Pygmalion effect.
When you treat people like idiots, they'll behave like idiots.
Milton Friedman
I've learned a lot from Milton Friedman.
