How horrifying, not extracting maximum revenue from the cattle!

"He said: “Prosecutions that are driven by targets, statistics and finance have no place in this courtroom and bring the administration of justice into disrepute."

Exactomundo. He is right. The high court is wrong. He is outing the government grifter class for its grifting. How horrifying!

"“I have come to the conclusion that [speed camera contractors] GoSafe deliberately targeted an unjust speed zone in the townland of Clogheen, where there were rich pickings and, as the saying goes, they were shooting fish in a barrel.”"

Yeah, what a renegade judge! How scary to say such things!

O authoritarian high court, protect us from judges like this, who see us as more than tax cattle!

"Mr Justice Ferriter said that the judge’s approach was “wrong” in law and inappropriate comment for a judge to make as his role was not to express a view on correctness of speed limits adjudicated by another body."

This thinking is how authoritarians construct a Rube Goldberg money machine that cannot be questioned.

The lower court judge has a duty to prohibit corruption in the law from determining his decisions. The judiciary does not serve the legislature. The judiciary is separate from the legislature and is to serve as a check against corrupt legislation and enforcement.

How horrifying that one judge actually gets it!

If the world had more judges who acted sua sponte to point out corruption in the laws, and reject them based upon that, it would be a better world to live in.

We all know that traffic laws have ZERO, NADA, NAUGHT, NIL, ZILCH, and ZIP to to with safety and are about funneling revenue to 3rd party contractors, and maintaining the fear of constant police presence in the minds of the citizenry. This judge was just pointing out the obvious.

I hired Claude to articulate my thoughts on the self-improvement industry…

…and, frankly, LinkedIn and pop psychology. I leverage my notion of ontological grammar.

I was typing, and my editor flagged it as a ‘Strong resemblance to AI text’. Kinda bollox. And, so I rant on my blog – 1984, Minority Report. Even Handmaid's Tale. Handmade, a tale.

I was chatting with ChatGPT and suggested that the Bible read like Ayn Rand. The response:

That’s unkind to Ayn Rand. At least she knew she was writing fan fiction for her own temperament. If it’s literature, it’s literature in the same way a minutes-of-meeting document is prose.

“Freedom becomes loyalty; truth, consensus; courage, obedience to the prevailing order.”

This is a concept in my latest essay, The Will to Be Ruled.
