(Lesson of the Day)
Most folks if not all folks outside of our organization are unable to disambiguate terms into their constituent parts and therefore tend to throw the baby out with the bathwater. This means that some ‘philosophical frames or biases’ are cumulatively good or bad in outcome. But it does not mean that all concepts within them are good or bad. The same is for people. Idiots my speak wisdom, genius may speak folly, good folk may act unethically and immorally and bad folk may act ethically and morally.
In other words, while ‘averages’ are true at scale so to speak, that does not mean that averages tell the whole story – and there is a tendency of the less able and less sophisticated (and most disagreeable and overconfident) to categorically dismiss a system of thought or at least system of values without learning what is harmful in it, and defending against what is harmful in it instead of defending against a thing that is comprised of both goods and bads.
