You can have a face-to-face conversation with a friend, but how do you do that if you want to talk to a therapist? No therapist is gonna make an exemption and leave their phone in another room, not to mention, they literally write their notes into the computer system, instead of on paper.
And with lawyers? I just read about how Luigi Mangione’s conversation with his lawyer is being unlawfully recorded. How do you even have a conversation with your lawyer if you are in custody and they could just hide recoding devices all around the jail?
Sure, maybe they can’t use the evidence in court, but they could just leak an out-of-context audio clip to the press to win the “court of public opinion”.
You could do what I do. Say all the things. Contradictory things. I never say anything. But what I say is the truth, so I can always fall back and say I told you so. And you’d never know what it is, because I’ve said too much, and nothing at all. Where is the cookie man in our time of vegitables? Now where did I put that corn? I gave it to Dr Katz, medicine woman. I jaywalked just last week! No babies were harmed in the filming of this movie. I don’t know the muffin man, stop asking! Where was I? Where were YOU??? I never had corn in my life. Batman is just a muscular version of Ted Turner. Now have fun deciding what to make of any of this. I never said that.
reminds me of Garak from DS9. telling the truth and lying at the same time every time
