1/ Either we believe in the VIRTUE that people can (+ wish to) improve & be just a bit better than they were yesterday or we believe they are set in stone + unredeemable.

This was a chilling moment for me thinking of the "corrections" society seeks + the lives in this bus...
2/ Whether a serious crime or a thought crime

a transgression where someone did something considered WRONG today

But either
a) didn't know it was WRONG
(and error corrected on learning)
-or-
b) it wasn't considered WRONG
at the time they did it

means...
3/ JUSTICE ought time travel JUSTLY

Standards change—We ought hold others to standard now + hence not past

-a past crime,newly discovered,gone unpunished but for evasion OUGHT BE punished

-a past act,deemed present offense,newly discovered,not previously punishable OUGHT NOT
4/ When a standard becomes MORE permissable—previously punished people ought be freed + held to NEW standard
(Ex From the substantive like drug possession)

AND

When a standard becomes LESS permissable—previous transgressors ought not lose freedom until new standard be breached
5/ This also ought hold in less substantive arenas (relative to physical crimes like drug possession) like what people wrote or said years ago—

–IF the then standard was different.

And we ought judge people with assumption they can + wish to improve every day a bit better.

1/ Our US experiment has 100% been hacked

by cynical "leaders" of political parties + well-intentioned others + foreign enemies fanning 🔥 NOT as nationalists but as populists seeking to destroy nation by dividing us into TRIBES + fueling US to hate EACH OTHER more than 'them'..
2/ At meta level the tribal division is those who

UNITE—or DIVIDE
Mesh—or clash
Band—or disband
Merge—or diverge
Integrate—or segregate

This doesn't mean disavowing disagreement—but rather finding nuance to see + criticize "others" as ERRED protagonists + not EVIL antagonists
3/ Were I foreign enemy set to weaken the US i 'd not attack it kinetically from OUTSIDE, but do it from INSIDE.

Create constant low-simmer civil war, deepen rifts, provoke tribal Us vs Them alliances recasting identity, rewrite history, dissolve MYTH of "United States" so that-

1/ You do you not see unintelligent people call out FRAUDS. Why?

Sure the easy answer is fools are easily fooled and thus the marks/targets.

But there’s another better reason why smart people like to call out FRAUDS...

Namely: Competition + Status. 🧵
2/ Competitive intellects love finding
correct answers quicker
truths not yet discovered
better explanations (for pleasure + sport)

Some compete to be ‘smarter’ than others
Motivated intrinsically for self or extrinsically—
they like to OUTSMART people—
and/or get STATUS for it.
3/ Frauds/hucksters/ tricksters also try to OUTSMART others
but in contrast don’t want STATUS for their cleverness—
they cloak it + dont want to be detected

Bad smart people are source of worlds conflicts
One cant be compelled to call out FRAUD
unless intellectually competitive

1/ Yes. Astrology is SUPERSTITION.

Unscientific nonsensical FLAPDOODLE that exploits people’s need for narrative often in response to anxiety, stress, uncertainty

It gives false community: “I’m a __zodiac__ too!”
puts agency + fate outside of oneself
and exploits a...
2/Consider these statements
Answer each of the following quickly as True/False or Yes/No

And I can 100% tell you your zodiac
And 100% tell how you are likely to respond in most (but not all situations)
And who would be best career path and best life partner for you...
3/

YES/NO

•You often have a need for other people to like and admire you.

•You have a great deal of unused capacity, which you have not turned to your advantage

•Disciplined outside, you sometimes can be worrisome and insecure inside.
