Not to call out just one individual, but the majority of Congress (and<br>
somewhat the Supreme Court) as well: there are many who say that we<br>
are already at that state, even if the ultimate arbiters are flesh and<br>
blood, given how far removed those in office are from the lives of<br>
most Americans. (This is the basis of much - not all, but a lot of -<br>
LGBT+ angst, for instance: they keep running into situations made for<br>
other people that they need to adjust for the way they live. More<br>
importantly, this is a problem for the poorest, with rules and<br>
procedures assuming access to a car, at least a little disposable<br>
income to pay fees, some fixed address at which they can receive mail,<br>
and so on.)<br>
<br>
Might there be hope for some kind of automated telepathy, to grant<br>
empathy where it is presently nonexistant? There is already work on<br>
sending raw signals from one brain to another.<br>
<br>
Also: you do civil litigation - any particular field of specialty?<br>
Space law, maybe?<br>
