    So are many of the “demons” of many religions. A person with mental disorders is still a human.

    That doesn’t make them or their actions any less reprehensible as far as the ones who end up being called such things.

      I’m drawing a distinction between a human and a system of laws.

      An important difference is that a system of laws is dumb, blind, gameable and breakable. A human, much less so.

        lol well you’re just purely wrong about humans being more robust than laws… Hilariously so.

        Especially if we narrow it to “lawmakers”.

    This is not a profound statement. We humans are the monsters in your storybooks. We are the things that go bump in the night. Being human does not bring you above anything, and using it as a status is guaranteed to drag you down below the dirt.
