@jackmiller2, most excellent! The paradigm you used with the "Legal System" was so perfect I actually read every word. "Intellect", as I grew to understand, was something one acquired through schooling and experience. I missed the boat there, I guess, but "Wisdom" is gained through experience using "Interllect". Again, I missed the boat, but I try.
Getting back to the judicial system, I am waiting for "honor and respect" to go back to the district attorney side of things. Like Kamala Harris, they tend to hide evidence, especially if it would prove innocence. They create a theory and make the evidence fit it. When they are proven wrong, they never apologize to anyone, only pay that person with taxpayer money.
Loved your writing, please keep it up!
Your example here is perfect to show how no "society" is immune to the "system" and to what all the "system" does to people via the tools that they have available.
As technology advances so too does the abuse of the tools they have.
There is a band from former East Germany called Rammstein who literally summed it up via a song (done in their own artistic style) about this topic of "abuse" for the goal of total and utter control. The theme of the song is literally based on the story of East Germany and the communist/socialist regime there.
So what we see happening today is nothing new, it is an overly tested and proven method that brings about dreadful results every time.
