  Genius. I’m stealing this for use in a professional setting. I’ll have lawyers read chapters of “Co-Intelligence” by Ethank Mollick, and get them to focus on the useful parts for their own law firms...

  (Also going to use this on “Legal Systems Very Different...” for our ACX group!)

  I’m a lawyer (NY licensed) working in Tokyo, and this account of the Japanese penal system is incorrect. Prosecutors in Japan are extremely, extremely hesitant to bring a criminal case into the penal system, and so when cases are brought they are far beyond “a reasonable doubt”. As a slightly misleading short summary, this, rather than lack of concern for false positives, is the reason for the notorious 99% conviction rate of criminal cases in Japan.
  
  I’ve also been unhoused in a few different countries for short periods of time.
  I’m certain that my affinity for Japan has its roots in needing this peaceful cultural of public safety.
