Beautiful Speech. Thank you for creating hope

[@futurekillerful]

Brilliant speech made by an excellent speaker

[@mostlymi9963]

If corruption is self reinforcing, how about finding ways of making anti corruption also self reinforcing? This could be achieved socialy and politically, not in the economic arena where drawbacks of corruption show up.

If you find yourself shoveling sand against the tide, then you've made a bad career decision. If, OTOH, you are tasked with engineering a seawall you consider its useful life. IRL, the key to combating corruption is convincing marginally corrupt actors that their actions are ethically or morally unjust.

How can you have law generally available by way of the legal industry? How can you have news generally available by way of the media industry? Business subordinates the law and the news, and government likes it that way. Said of the League of Nations, no direct interest - neither industry has any direct interest in the individual case, so no security there. Dictatorship is thriving, and predatory dictatorship laughs at the League - no direct interest, no collective security, no such thing as law.

Not all media is corporate and not all legal professionals are in it for the money. Your point is important, though - a bit excessive in my opinion, though. In Brazil - where Prof. Stephenson has a former student who worked as a Federal Prosecutor, a law prohibiting people with a conviction to run for elected offices was proposed by the population through the International Transparency and was aproved because of pressure from the population. The US, however, is whole new can of worms ... Dune worms, btw.

[@robertewing3114]

@@maxheadrom3088 The point really is that the legal profession do not allow the public evolve the law, they reserve it all for themselves and the media defers to their actions. If law truly existed we would hear of evolution of law by way of the public challenging the failures of the profession. The media differs, as do legal professionals, but the public are left out of the history making none the less. The public generally asks for this, as being generally compliant with the cultures, but there is the question of individual cases, and I do not think any legal professional accepts a case unless it is convenient to the profession - there really are no knights in shining armour, the world turns on public relations and no professional will acknowledge this except unofficially. An Irish newspaper reporter said of the courts unofficially Its all a con, isn't it? The public must be warned that the cultures are not reported by the media to the extent of reporting scandalous suppressions of law.

Interesting approach to CORRUPTION is, apart from terms of cultural aceptance or criticism in differents societies and ages... In terms of EFFICIENCY Guided PROTECTING AND GUARANTING HUMAN RIGHTS : that's, i think, the core of development of law and behauviour in our societies.
