if you aren't afraid, then either you aren't in danger or you've misjudged
your opponent.
if you're constantly afraid, then they cannot yet defeat you.
EDIT: either that, or they need you.

I'd say "content warning: fear-cursed-if-true-not-politics" that way people
who had "Fear" or "cursed" on their filter list wouldn't see it. Things that
are commonly content-warning'd are also commonly content-filtered by people
who tend to be the biggest beneficiaries of healthily designed
content-warnings. so putting keywords in there that filter out people who
don't want to see intense or damaging things to their psyche can avoid it more
easily.

We've always been that way in their eyes. If they make it legal, nothing will

legal protections, but laws have always just been words.

it might also help with social anxiety because people are aware when they're
being observed. A lot of people hesitate to speak or contribute on Zoom calls
because they are inherently scared of being observed, but with this system
they'll be aware of any observation and can address it. Plus every meeting
that could have been an email will quickly become apparent since nobody is
paying attention to the speaker, and they'll realize how much they should
rethink their approach.

the gods don't judge you based on the total number of "good" or "bad" points
that you get.
they judge you based on your character in your greatest and worst moments.
if you try to dodge or game this by never doing anything extreme and simply
existing in a medium state at all times, they will develop a moment of
reckoning for you and thus produce an opportunity to react and show your true
self. There is no escape from their judgement, so judge yourself kindly and
fairly.
