#2I hate, immensely, how effective "double down and never admit guilt" is, but I don't think there's anything we can do about it as a society.
Thank goodness most people don't have the guts to hold firm long enough to get away with it...

Seems like the only benefit to admitting guilt is for ones own conscience, but clearly that’s not enough for many.

our society is also not structured anymore to allowing one to admit guilt, and be absolved by some sort of community process after which you can return to a normal life; if you are guilty now you are forever cursed.

I think that's because, thanks to the internet, "now" never truly ends. You're often just one Google search away from reanimating any significant event in someone else's life.

For most of us there are only a handful of people we need to maintain our credibility with personally or professionally. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

That’s a pessimistic way to put it, but you have a point.
This depends on the target audience though. Some people seem unable to be convinced by hard evidence and reason. If you’re able to pick your audience — which is the case for content creators and politicians — you will always be able to address those people.
In most professional settings, you’re more dependent on the goodwill of someone specific, and I think there the strategy is less effective.

Could something like that possibly be a requirement for a self-sustaining life? Like you can’t be both alive and reasonable?

It seems like this strategy didn't work so well in the past - do we know the reason why?
