  • Because while worrying has never made anything better, it has often made things worse.

    You already have the function of understanding, if something needs to be done you’ll do it, if nothing needs to be done you’ll save your energy. But when worrying, you neither get anything done, nor save any energy.

    What’s more is, if something really does end up going wrong, because of all the worrying, you’ll be too anxious do something about it in a clear state of mind, and you’ll create even more problems that you’ll need to do even more about down the road, which in turn you also will not do well with, continuing the endless cycle.

    When worrying comes don’t get involved with it, just let it come or go.

    When action is necessary your hands and feet will move as if by themselves.









  • Sure, there are many arguments for many bad ideas, but the statistics don’t lie. A hostile police force, an adversarial legal system, only leads to miscarriages of justice.

    It’s just an extension of capitalism; if you can get away with it your actions are legitimized regardless of what you did. It’s the paradigm of the End justifying the means.

    So pur system is designed for miscarriage of justice and so as such cannot be said to result in miscarriages of justice because we do not care about justice in the first place.


  • Yes, because our system isn’t designed for justice. The police doesn’t try to find the truth, they just try to find someone to charge. The defender doesn’t try to find the truth, but to escape conviction for his client, likewise with the prosecutor. The judge is there to follow the letter of the law as well as possible, there is nobody that cares about justice.

    The very idea that you need a prosecutor and a defender makes no sense if you think about it. At sociey that wanted justice would just have a bunch of independant experts colaborate to find the truth and sentence based on that.

    The idea that the process of justice must be carried out like a competition in which both sides are trying to trip each other up and trying to win at any cost through manipulation and omission with no regards to truth or justice means that the system has no interest in either.



  • I’m not sure you understand what the law is… The law is not a book of rules, it does not exist independently from its creators, it is the will of the people. If the people find someone not guilty, they’re not guilty. The law was invented by people and only exists to be an extension of the will of the people.

    If ten people from a representative section of the population thinks someone is guilty or not guilty, that is the law. It doesn’t matter whether they did something or not, what they are deciding is whether they should be punished for it or not. That’s why there is a jury in the first place, otherwise you’d have a system based on accuracy, not on argument.
