Often, we dive into formulas, codes, and algorithms seeking solutions for the future. As a teacher of physics and mathematics, my role has always been to teach how to look at the structure of things — whether in classical mechanics or in programming logic. However, upon observing the structure of our legal system, I realize that the social "gears" are stuck.
In Brazil, we experience a phenomenon where Law, instead of serving as a ladder for material and social progress, has become a battleground of trenches.
The Illusion of Punitive Victory
If the greatest victory of a political cycle boils down to the ineligibility or imprisonment of an individual, we need to face a bitter truth: the social structure has not advanced one centimeter. While public debate inflames around judicial processes, the reality of the worker remains static:
Material Stagnation: The workload remains excessive and the salary loses purchasing power.
Structural Insecurity: Social protection does not evolve while energies are spent in the punitive field.
The Judiciary and the Political Void
This "punishment as achievement" is a symptom that politics, as a tool for construction and dialogue, has weakened. The Judiciary ends up trying to occupy the "corpse" of politics, judicializing issues that should be resolved with reforms and national projects.
When the debate boils down to the CPF of those who will be punished, we stop discussing the system we want to build. In a world that discusses decentralization and new forms of governance, clinging to punitivism as the only form of "justice" keeps us trapped in models that do not deliver real well-being.
📝 Author's Notes
This article is a preview of the reflections I am organizing for my new blog, where I intend to apply logic and critical analysis to dissect the problems that the immediacy of social media does not allow. Shall we think beyond the obvious?
