I have learned that this is not a failure of values but a failure of a system that steadily reallocates judgment away from people and into process—until no one feels authorized to intervene, even when harm is plainly unfolding. We are at an inflection point where we must ensure that judgment and decision-making power lie where they belong: not in arbitrary systems but in the hands of the people—because systems fail arbitrarily, and at times, by design.
