That's what happens when you value institutions over people.

but hey, electronic governers for all cars so they can't go more than 10mph over, pastors stealing millions cuz "jbro said so", just to pull evidence from my lemmy front page today.

humanity will never learn to value individuals over institutions and we will never evolve beyond this due to that.
