Day 42
Do not automate neglect
In a world where decisions scale through institutions and networks, justice asks who receives the benefit and who absorbs the hidden cost.
The source
If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:
Deuteronomy 15:7 · King James Version
The thought
Justice makes power answerable to the whole community, especially where risk has been pushed onto those with the least ability to refuse.
A task for today
Identify the least powerful affected party and change the next recommendation so it does not quietly transfer harm onto them.
