You seem to have some classical education… You read what happened back then, you see the same, the more it changes, the more it stays the same.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? is a Latin phrase found in the Satires, a work of the 1st–2nd century Roman poet Juvenal. It may be translated as “Who will guard the guards themselves?” or “Who will watch the watchmen?”. The original context deals with the problem of ensuring marital fidelity, though the phrase is now commonly used more generally to refer to the problem of controlling the actions of persons in positions of power, an issue discussed by Plato in the Republic

Discourses because of Ethics and Hippocrates because of Medicine. I am going to read his Enchiridion,
