THE WEST AND SPEECH
—“Speech exists as an action. When we warrant our speech to be truthful, we are providing warrant for an action.
The west is best (fastest) because we demand we warrant our actions – the rest demand excuses for incompetence.”— Bill Joslin

–“the problem is over-application”– The problem is the economics of that judgement do not warrant the investment in the discovery. Ergo it is of necessity the responsibility of the member of the stereotype to decide whether he signals reinforcement or counter to that stereotype. His choice reinforces or counters.

—“Cooperation is an investment that has non-zero risk. If you want people to cooperate with you rather than fight or avoid you, you must mitigate that risk. If you instead try to shame people for your lack of ability to mitigate their risk, they are left with the only options of fight or flight. However, cooperation amplifies the standard of living of a polity, so people would rather live around those they can cooperate with rather than fight/flight. You can only compel people to flee you for so long until the cost of non-cooperation exceeds the cost of fighting (destroying) you to increase the proximity density of people who cooperate at low risk.”— Steve Pender

1) Mindfulness as I use it, in the stoic tradition, refers to mental fitness: acquiring virtues (quality human goods) that improve us as social creatures, rather than impulsive goods, or things (cheap animal goods): Insulation from emotional bads: impulse, envy, fear.
2) We are subject to an ever increasing stream of opportunities. And unlike those of the past, where many conditions could cause us stress of deprivation, today’s opportunities cause us stress of choice. So we solve both problems past and present by self authoring virtues….
3) … I can’t do much in tweets, but it’s just the process of mentally disciplining yourself so that animal impulses with which we were born are rationally reacted to rather than impulsively reacted to, and then actions and reactions taken and made according to our virtues (goals).
4) … Mental discipline can be created by any number of methods: prayer, meditation, ritual, sport, but other than self-authoring, each has tragic consequences. The virtue of stoic discipline is that it asks us to act to obtain our goals, and to be free of manipulation by others, and manipulation by our animal impulses, such that we divert the least effort to that which is not relevant to achieving our goals.
5) … And stoic discipline is superior to others paritcularly because it provides us with defense against abrahamism in all its forms.
