That's right. Entities must be acting as CITIZENS, first and foremost, bound by laws, norms, and shame.
Shame, the glue of civilization, as I call it, is quickly disappearing. The Nothing Matters LOL world is bound to decompose.
I wonder whether this is a side effect of the self esteem movement, and the whole "don't care about what others think of you" ethos.
Entities acting as citizens is the exact failure mode of USA. They are not citizens, they are objects of regulation.
