I've had a disturbing thought...our justice system is flawed.

[Dooby]

Consider your reality as a surfer riding waves. Your conscious thought process is the surfer riding a wave. The wave is your subconscious. The factors that have made that wave possible is your reality.

Keep reading.

You as a person cannot fully dictate where you go in life as a surfer, completely controlled by the will of the wave. The formation of the wave is dictated by multiple environmental factors.

Can anyone truly be responsible for their actions?

I caught this inspiration from a dream last night. I was dreaming I was on the beach at Japan with my Japanese girlfriend and friends at night. Everything was going fine. Next thing I know, they began pointing out to sea, telling me to look out. I had NO IDEA WHAT THEY WERE POINTING AT, even though this whole reality was created inside my mind. I turned around and it was a massive shark headed in my direction to my complete surprise.

I say that to say this.

Our subconscious dictates everything our conscious does. We have zero control of our subconscious and what can result from your subconscious can even surprise you, as the shark did me in my Japanese dream.

I reiterate that our surroundings play a large role in what our subconscious becomes.

So why should we be held responsible for most, if not any, of our actions?

Well?

Imprisoning someone as punishment is not logical. Isolation for undesirable behavior is more correct but can still be considered a punishment.

So how do we solve this conundrum?

Discuss.

@Meta Reign I don't take it personal. Your subconscious told you to do this and you have no real understanding why.

@Mephistopheles Not sure I even know you breh but I don't take it personal for deducting my rep.

I don't know what you're talking about but the people making laws and the supreme court have turned into a bunch of corporate whores. I think that's half the problem.

Current defense attorneys will use the "temporary insanity plea".

That has nothing to do with my post man, unless you're saying everyone should take the insanity plea.

Prison is a cultural phenom. Some people just kill criminals and others lock them in cages to separate their influence from humanity.

It was a joke.
People who commit murder and aren't insane but don't want to face up to what they did will try to get out of serving time in the penitentiary by trying to get plead the 'guilty by insanity' plea, and spend their time in a psych ward instead of real prison.

Define "justice"

Define "justice"

The repercussions received for violating what is deemed desirable behavior.

We should have an official "Smart dumb nygga" thread for topics like this.

The problem with justice, is it is subjective, making our agreement on it only seeming, as we all may mean something completely different by it(justice).
For example I define justice as a process. This definition attempts remove the bias often attached to "justice".

But wouldn't defining it as a process make it a "justice system" not simply "justice?" And that's why I defined justice as I did. The definition paints something that is truly subjective.
