Editing Morals (section)

=== 2022 ===
* Never sell your soul for a tote-bag and Carl Kasell’s voice on your home answering machine message.
* it’s really really really hard to fake a field. Economic Index Numbers like [[CPI]] are not real numbers. They are naturally group-valued ''FIELDS'' that would be nearly impossible to fake and manipulate.</br>The ''entire'' subject is off. [[Peer_Review|Peer review]] won’t help. 🙏
* if you want a better model of Trump Supporters try this one: they prefer idiosyncratic lying/spin/distortion by a gadfly as an antidote to coordinated credentialed institutional polished lying with amazing production values. Further, they don’t think ''anyone'' offers truth.</br>That.🙏
* When you want to know why dissenting democrats are all over Right wing media, it is largely about blackballing all those who would disassemble the house narrative and strategies of the institutions. Legacy media is by and ''for'' institutions now. That’s why it seems insane.
* I’d be rather careful exchanging a correct and permanently defensible ethical position for a transient optical victory using illegal aliens as pawns against a cynical opponent that will likely adapt to a new opportunity to play the immigration optics game right back atcha.
* The COVID narrative was the GIN. The destruction of all credentialed dissenters was the [[The_Distributed_Idea_Suppression_Complex_(The_DISC)|DISC]]. Now you know.
* be very careful celebrating success that you don’t understand for its own sake.
* If you enjoy the pain from hurting other named people, you are generally going to find a way to explain that what you are doing is for the good of the world. That is, ''every'' sadist can find an excuse between “This is normal.” and “I do it for society. Thank me later.”
* Excuses work because they muddy the water of abuse. The above excuses are appropriated from contexts where they make sense. But most internet critics are nothing of the kind. A criticism helps us course-correct. A stalker doesn’t want you to improve. They want anguish.
* A lot of what is visible on Twitter hides behavior offsite, and even offline. An apparent Twitter critic may be real-life stalker/sadist. There‘s no way to understand what is happening to public figures like @elonmusk by just looking at Twitter. This is just surface.
* Many people on Twitter feel that the very rich on the site have so much money that they never need to worry about anything. This is close to being the dumbest idea ever.</br>Remember: Any billionaire with a child they love is vulnerable to any psycho with an opportunity.
* [[Free_Speech|Free speech]] is about restraining ourselves w/ culture so that we don’t need rules to tell us what we can say. It’s NOT a free-for-all for sadists. [[Free_Speech|Free speech]] would NEVER develop in a culture in which Mores were not strong, shared and effective in prohibiting sociopathy.</br>If you want to be a critic, a journalist, a comedian, or even a troll, develop a code of ethics. Don’t hybridize w/ abuse. Check in w/ yourself as to whether you’re really working out abuse, rage, envy or status issues. Try to minimize unnecessary damage to others.
