    TRUE ENOUGH FOR ACTION

    —“At what point do you know you have enough data and experience to act?”— Jeff Urizen

    When you (a) must act, (b) can pay for the full consequences of failure of your actions (c) can warranty your actions.

    In other words… when your knowledge is ‘true enough for the consequences’:

    TRUE ENOUGH

    A hierarchy of Truths:

    – True enough to imagine a conceptual relationship

    – True enough for me to feel good about myself.

    – True enough for me to take actions that produce positive results.

    – True enough for me to not cause others to react negatively to me.

    – True enough to resolve a conflict without subjective opinion among my fellow people with similar values.

    – True enough to resolve a conflict without subjective opinion across different peoples with different values.

    – True regardless of all opinions or perspectives.

    – Tautologically true: in that the two things are equal

    TRUE ENOUGH FOR THE CONSEQUENCES OF ERROR

  • No, Ad Hom in Prosecution Is Not a Double Standard.

    —“How can [we] complain about ridicule, but then habitually use terms like “white knight” and “shieldmaiden””— 1 – Reciprocity. Always (a) return the insult, (b) return to the central argument, (c) stay with the argument until the opponent is defeated or retreats. 2 – Prosecution vs Coercion: Ad hom used in prosecuting attempted theft by coercion – the moral, vs ad hom as means of coercion in perpetuation of a theft – the immoral. 3 – Usually (I run into this a lot) accusations of contradiction are only attempted frauds of false equality. Either one is trying to commit a theft or not. Ad hom for theft is simply true. Ad claiming equality when one is a prosecutor of attempted theft and another is an attempted thief, is just another attempted theft by fraud.

  • The A—hole Doctrine

    ( Most of the world is safe and enjoyable if you’re not an asshole. I’m not an asshole. Particularly in other countries. And I don’t associate with assholes in other countries. Nor do I engage in the activities that assholes engage in: drinking, drugs, large groups of people, making a lot of noise, generally trying to attract attention. The world punishes you for being an asshole. And so you shouldn’t be surprised that if you do, or enjoy doing, things assholes do, that regardless of where you are, you’re being treated like an asshole. Likewise the same applies to the naive. If you think the world isn’t full of a healthy distribution of assholes, and that you don’t have to take self responsibility for avoiding assholes, and people, places, and events where assholes congregate, then you are in fact, one of the assholes. )

  • Stoicism Is Even More Important for Women than It Is for Men

    —“Stoicism has cleared my thinking dramatically. Its so naturally easy for us women to get sucked into our emotions and feminism has made it so we can’t be held accountable. So women are in the mind set that they can’t control their emotions, where stoicism teaches you that you can. I heard that Stoicism was the inspiration for Cognitive Behavior Therapy which is the same treatment they use for women with personality & identity crises. CBT is kind of like diluted small brain stoicism.”—Sarah Heard Men can feel ‘lost’ without it. Women can feel victims of their emotions without it.

    What is right? Can we say? Can you? How would anyone know they were right? How can you tell? Join the Kialo debate on whether morality is objective! https://t.co/DLBPz7YxvI

    NATURAL LAW ON KILLING

    —“Punishment for killing someone does not necessarily imply they had any actual value . At the societal level the punishment is automatic.”— Edgar Braintree

    They are not punishing you for killing the individual, but for not getting sanction from others before doing so. In other words, they are punishing you for hubris.

    Getting a dozen men (jury) together to hang someone from a tree is very different from killing someone vengefully. If death is sanctioned then appeal exists, hubris, and error limited. What we seek to limit is unsanctioned deaths, without appeal, insured against hubris, and error.

    If you act without sanction you are a risk to the group. If you act with sanction you reduce group risk.

    If you won’t start the fight, fight, and end the fight by defeating the enemy completely, you’re a free rider on those that do, not a man of virtue or character. The time to fight is coming.
