>I'm a lawyer
I'm reminded of the line about how hard it is to get someone to understand something when their livelihood depends on their NOT understanding it.
- asdfman123 3y agoThis is the equivalent of someone saying "I'm a software dev, implementing X feature is difficult to impossible" and then getting the reply "that's because you're too entrenched in the current system."

- johndhi 3y ago(I'm the lawyer from the original post) I like that saying, too. But not sure it applies here -- there are huge numbers of lawyers who like talking about 'power structures.' It may have been invented by us. We lawyers invented, for example, critical race theory. You could be right, though, maybe I am biased. I'd be interested to learn how.
