The usa is realizing the sad pov that people are robots.

It is becoming the first, past-human society. There are "entities". Powerful entities. And some other things, we don't care about.

It is the first to realize in a social context, the halting problem. That imperfect rules imposed on an extremely huge social canvas, are not Turing complete. The limits of discreet rules. Which in a social canvas, has also to include in the description, "harsh", "absolute", "cold blooded", etc.

In societies where you still have humans running the show, you don't kill -9 kids.

Yes, "I" (for some values of "I"), am the most important thing in the world ever, "I" am the law, and "I" am a powerful entity, but show some "dignity", "humanity", "judgment", and "honesty" about what we have been in the past ourselves.
