Today in Brazil a single homicide was reported—and yet our monitoring systems, tied up in marketing metrics, couldn’t flag it in real time. We still lack true live tracking for public safety.
Administrators often lionize a former military leader—our paradoxical “hero”—even though he once stood as their rival. They chase profit and order without reckoning the moral cost of idolizing someone who wielded power “old school” style.
Consider how we finance and secure our cars: you take a bank loan, the bank offloads risk to an insurer, and that insurer routes claims through a broker—let’s call him Mortimer—who has ties to both police and criminal networks. When a vehicle is stolen, Mortimer informs authorities, the insurer, and those highway checkpoints that pull cars over semi-randomly based on target statistics. Meanwhile, stolen vehicles slip off to lawless regions, knowing owners will either be compensated by insurance or rewarded for a tip—if they survive.
Our media and politicians chase sensational stories—“Makartism” in action—only reacting when a family member is victimized. They broadcast “debates” that amount to shouting matches, trading depth for drama. The real priorities—effective prevention, fair policing, transparent insurance practices—go unaddressed.
Underneath, our software and analytics churn out correlations that confuse more than clarify. Algorithms generate patterns that read like schizoid poetry, while real human judgment—with its uneven cadence and creative leaps—gets dismissed. We need an executive mindset: strategic planning grounded in ethics, human oversight that tempers machine speed, and policies that prioritize safety and justice over empty spectacle.
