(a) Abrahamism: Pilpul via-positiva (Excuse) vs Critique via-negativa (Ridicule)
– vs –
(b) Aryanism: Law via-positiva (“I May”) vs Science via-Negativa (Survival from testing)
-
Once you see Pilpul and Critique as techniques you’ll understand we now need a third defense against falsehood: 1) Cognitive Biases, 2) Rhetorical Fallacies, 3) Justificationary Deceits. …
-
Where those justificationary deceits include: appeal to reasonableness, appeal to consideration, appeal to empathy, appeal to optimistic outcomes, with loading, framing, selectivity, suggestion, obscurantism, overloading, propaganda, and The Fictionalisms.

What can I warranty ethics (Militia Ethics), vs what can I make excuses for (Ghetto ethics).
