If you can see the "show contact info" dropdown below, I follow you. If you want me to, ask and I'll think about it.
getting the feeling that a lot of people missed the deeper point of Minority Report and just went "oh its like 1984 but with precognition"
missing the point that it was crimes no one could actually confirm the facts for, context was never considered, with no way of verifying truthy-ness outside of a whistleblower, and the ruling authority was weighting the dice
I wonder how much of that is due to the way the idea of precrime has been normalized and even adopted in a limited fashion over the past two decades, and how much that's due to the way Minority Report spent a decent amount of time up front teaching the audience the logic of system and convincing the audience stand-in character that it should be adopted nationally.
When I saw the first season of Psycho-Pass for the first time, I remember thinking it did a better job of portraying the Sybil system as an unaccountable blackbox when it came to precrime judgements than Minority Report did with the procogs.
