Auto-optimization by design - along what lines are we made to run? Could that be a question? We have no general speed limit on our autobahnen, we are allowed to drink and drive - our guaranteed pursuit of happiness, so to speak - weigh that against the energy sustainability ethos. No, I view justice very much as the product of a group's story telling lines.

I heard that Germany made smart moves toward energy sustainability ahead of the pack and VW makes some engines that can endure a lean fuel ratio pretty well. Not sure how to turn that to my favor regarding red handedness. I would like to gain more experience in R&D but am locked into the grind and busyness, it was nice to see an exhaust system idea I had used by BMW but judging the performance they didn't go with the best design. I may have missed your point too. :)
What I meant was that we squandered a golden era of wealth in pursuing selfishness while social progress took the back seat. I think justice is defined by the vision and capacity to perceive the lacking of it, it colors the world in a way that many can consider an unnecessary expenditure but for those who cannot turn off that perception ideally will emerge volition for compassion to recreate the picture into a story worth sharing for generations regardless of identity or group memberships.

Funny. Old habits and lessons are hard to overcome, I know of
truth as a
trial that demands courage without an ounce of aesthetic, everything
comes from the bottom-up, but I am missing the other half of the
story
(or my story). That half involves artificial boundaries arising from
identity, myth and practice (for me). It is odd to see and know
but be
barred from belief.
Moving on.. :) I get the impression that what we see in dishonesty
and
usury is a suspension of cultural progress, reflected in individual
maturity as an inability to mentally overcome those challenges.
Those in
power have everything to gain whether in personal, professional or
governance by rewards for callous and sometimes sociopathic
manipulations. Part of the myth that perpetuates this seems to be the
prestige of success, as if it were a character virtue. On practical
grounds I agree that we need to promote and sometimes tolerate
those who
are capable and willing to get the job done but very little of
this is
in the public discourse, shining the light into one area moves the
problem, cockroaches are likely a fitting image in some cases. I have
heard that Germans have a similar work ethic to Americans Gabby, I
wonder if your prisons are as full. Justice resides in the eyes and
memory alone, I think.
