Usually, when someone is addressing the vice of litigiousness, they are talking about that character flaw which is a combination of globally punitive intentions and generally bureaucratic disposition. It’s not a good look. This base combination of flaws leads people to file lawsuits instead of having sensible conversations, and more generally, to seek outcomes based on rules rather than principles. Litigiousness is crass, degenerative, and squanderous. But, it doesn’t begin with the person seeking remedies to their discomfort. This ignobility necessarily begins with the construction of policies and procedures themselves.
In this chapter, we’ll take a cursory look at basic governmental processes and their tendencies as they inform society’s decent into litigiousness. We’ll look at how these patterns play out at human scales — destroying families and communities. And, we’ll tie this all together with the running theme of how we abuse arithmetical thinking — which points to massively gainful potential solutions to all of these problems.
Ladies and gentlefolk of the jury, I posit that the two above paragraphs are not the only paragraphs by the Author which the Reader has consumed. The Reader, by their own actions, nay, through their own investments of considerable time and attention has demonstrated intent to understand this body of thought. It would only follow that the Reader should choose the most elegant form of staying abreast of the coming developments therewith. I submit that the Reader must find it within themselves to join the march of the informed, the empowered, the blessed few, and sign up for the sqglz newsletter.
The designer rests.
