One thing I know: we have to figure out a way to increase public shame, not only towards apathy, but towards a lack of intellectual integrity— people not caring whether what they believe is true. Proud ignorance and proud indifference should be shamed, not celebrated.

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.
