I would prefer outlawing all charities that did not convey 100% of donations to the target. and I would demand warranty of that fact. This forces volunteers to produce goods through direct action and eliminates the profit incentive for virtue signaling.

The problem is, your so called “special history”. You assume it was a bad thing. But it turns out you were right. And we were wrong. Now you have to fix yourself. While we fix ourselves. And face the fact that we spent a century and too many lives being wrong when you were right.

MY PURPOSE IS TO TEACH…
My purpose here is to teach. If you give me an opportunity I will seize it. But if I throw the ball back to you, and you drop it, I’ll pick it up and carry it across the finish line.
The problem is, if you can’t make an operational argument then either you don’t know what you’re talking about or you’re not making a persuasive argument.
Doin’ my job. Teaching.

FWIW: (a) I work entirely by word of mouth, and I don’t self promote (on purpose). (b) I only started sharing my posts on Twitter a bit over a month ago. Before that I just posted a few aphorisms. (c) Not sure my experiment “running a classroom in public” would fit with Twitter.

It’s because they feel more vulnerable. Our ability to admit we are wrong is a combination of our vulnerability and the degree to which we have over invested in falsehoods in order to create self and other illusions of status and ability. Since both men and women do the latter, the sensitivity to vulnerability is what causes greater resistance to admit error in women. The problem for men is making women feel safe enough, or finding women that feel safe of their own accord.

DRAGGING OTHERS DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL
—“Religion is a guilt economy. Look at the Left. They’ve even got Original Sin (white privilege). Contemporary politics is just a way for people to answer for the guilt they feel about their own flaws by shaming others into feeling guilty. Its just some religions say greed is a sin where others say being white is a sin.”— Dann Hopkins
—“They even have their end of days prophecy in climate change.”–John Clayton

PROBABILITIES AND PSUEDOSCIENCE
Keynes’ first work was in probability.
He was a successful investor.
He used probabilities where the law used operations (Legal transactions).
He institutionalized the ludic fallacy: that games with limits mirrors human actions that consistently expand limits.
All economies head toward disequilibrium.
Growth is in fact an instance of disequilibrium.

When the constitution was written, spelling was often phonetic rather than canonized as it has been post-Webster. Capitalization and font size were used as emphasis – bold not available to the pen, as it is today in print. Grammar was more formal and still retained some academic latin influences – including longer sentence structure. And it was written in the context of traditional Common Law, which itself was written in the context of Anglo Saxon Law, which codified Ancient Germanic law, which preserved european (west indo-european) traditional law. This presents a conflict because natural law of reciprocity needs strict construction to eliminate interpretation and the constitution relied on familiarity with that tradition rather than strict construction – Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Truth, Duty, and Markets in Everything are not stated, but assumed to the same degree as the existence of god and the perpetual existence of the church. Hence why the constitution must be rewritten with those definitions and with strict construction to ensure that that knowledge of that long tradition is no longer required, and also so that such a constitution is no longer open to interpretation.
