When the system becomes primarily something to game, something is really wrong.
It's hard not to observe that politics has become increasingly exploitative — the irony being that each side thinks it is the other side that is guilty of it.
How easily does lying becomes systemic — more and more lies and liars, increasingly less and less sensitive to what is true because when you've lied so much, you can't even 'remember' what is true (not to mention the lies you've told).
How are we complicit when we believe our ends justify our means?
