Moral Hazard and The Chubby Blue Line

Susan Schorn:

People aren’t born with that kind of reality filter. They have to build it for themselves. Those structures Alexis Madrigal is talking about, the ones that constrain us? Yeah, we build them around ourselves. We strengthen them every time we see or take part in an exercise of power that isn’t equitable—unless we make some attempt to balance the scales.

When you don’t regularly experience both sides of power, you make bad choices. Over time, those choices add up.
