This, of course, has always been the fear about drones. Hone them to perfection overseas and then apply them at home.
I can imagine the dark day arriving at some point in the future where individuals will be secretly tried, found guilty and given the death penalty, and that penalty dispensed by drone. All without their awareness or knowledge or chance to defend themselves. It sounds atrocious and is atrocious, and I hope to goodness that my imagination is simply fertile and not real. But I fear it could happen.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
