Illuminati example

Some people think that when someone is killed on tv, that people are trying to make an example of what they can keep getting away with, even if everyone can see it. That's power to be able to kill right in front of everybody and nothing happens to you.
The death of george floyd was an illuminating event for some, even if they had seen something like it before. White people do get killed in videos, but you dont see them getting killed by cops, usually you see contractors getting heads cut off and shit like that. Death is a lot like cinema or the box office, you have people who are in the business of death videos, and they know people never get enough trauma. Some people thought of it as an illuminati example.

canonical example

An example that follows a principle or rule, which can be in religion, math, music, science, etc., and refers to something reduced to its most basic form.
My professor explained that a gene can become an oncogene by a point mutation that causes the gene to always be turned on. He used Ras as a canonical example of this idea because one point mutation in the Ras gene can result in it being constitutively turned on and leading to cancer.
