It's making my weekly reports at work acceptable, but I know my bosses are digesting my AI reports with AI to read the headlines. Nobody has time and attention and when we give time and attention to AI it's very tempting to remove people and imagination from the equation entirely.

Miranda rights are not magic words you say and then you suddenly have rights.
You always have those rights. They are human rights.

It feeds itself. It reinforces itself. It can't be reasoned with.
It's consistent internally in domineering abusive systems (and family structures). "The Bible says what I say it says! Jesus says what I say he says! The constitution says what I say it says! Poor people feel the way I say they feel!"
