It's all really happening. Pretty much every meeting with friends touches on what their recent sightings or stories of ICE terror have been. Everyone who hasn't seen it first hand has a second hand story.

Absolutely everyone I talk to is against ICE's actions and that is the thing giving me hope that it will be defeated by the citizenry.

I think asking your questions in that form is akin to "sorting prompts" that I learned about from https://mikecaulfield.substack.com/p/is-the-llm-response-wro... and I have been using successfully when when writing code (e.g. [as a Claude code slash command](https://www.joshbeckman.org/notes/936274709)).

Essentially, you're asking the LLM to do research and categorize/evaluate that research instead of just giving you an answer. The "work" of accessing, summarizing, and valuing the research yields a more accurate result.

Not that story specifically, but maybe a modern reinterpretation of it was [this episode of Rick and Morty](https://rickandmorty.fandom.com/wiki/Death_Crystal).

The Timeless Way of Building by Christopher Alexander.

It really made me reconsider the process and ultimate goals of building systems beyond housing, and how to make pattern languages for any system I build, especially software systems.
