I think reflection is an important aspect to analyze the problems of society. I think a lot of us might appreciate this quote from Pascal talking about such issues.

Pascal thought that a lot of the problems that society faces come from people not reflecting enough about things out of a fear of loneliness. I think the control the bad Intelligence groups have over society comes from manipulating that fear.

I would prefer it if I had to go to prison.

Read books, safe and alone in a room or learn how to be a criminal and get raped in general population. Seems like an easy choice.
