They don't normally learn anything from their mistakes. You should have tried some interviews by higher-ups in Pol Pot's regime on YouTube. The primary function of justice is prevention of Aggression and acting as a deterrent against aggressors. Since high school I've considered the current global situation as a war for power. It should be fought as a war. Only force works against force. The only path we can take is castration of the authoritarian's power.

Basically I just read Fountainhead and thought there is one notch higher and then came across John Galt only to be a tad disappointing. IMO he was a bit too naive. Most of these haters and lairs tend to suspect and accuse successful people and tries to fit everything they do into an evil scheme. Lair's punishment is that they become unable to trust others. For good people, the opposite is true.

One needs to know both the Yin and the Yang or one's actions will become misguided regardless of intent.

Also allow me to recommend you Psycho-Pass. My profile pic is from that and it was available on Netflix and Hulu (when I checked some time ago). It's a real masterpiece and even relevant to the discussion.
