The vast majority of people conform to whatever is normal for the time.

Betrayal from a friend is far more dangerous than attack from an enemy. The closer someone is to you, the more quickly and extensively they can damage you. Few powerful men are destroyed by their enemies. Far more common are powerful men destroyed by their supposed allies.

There's more entropy in a lie than there is in the truth.

We get angry at people we we can get angry at not people that made us angry. Seldom do people yell at their bosses. Most emotional release are not with the people that it should be released with. It's the same with truth. You tell truth to the people you can tell truth to.

Most of the time in life the decision has already been made. It's about the acceptance & managing of that decision that's the real decision.

Most try to optimize happiness. Happiness is really minimizing anger. Everything in modern times is intended to trigger you. Everything is a flashing red light. Don't try to maximize happiness try to minimize emotional reactions like getting mad. If it angers you, remove it.

The depth of conceit to imagine society writ large as akin to a passenger jet where the professionals drive while the plebs stay quietly in their assigned seats is hard to fathom.

People complain to receive empathy. Except perhaps with one's mother, godmother, and (older) siblings, complaints bring indifference, even disrespect; it's the absence of complaints that brings empathy.

Nation-states, to survive, must be endemic and as small, non-invasive, and benign to their neighbors as possible.

@PaulPortesi “Politics” is involved, intertwined in practically everything. The calls to “the market” are just a ruse, a magic trick, quite successful, so we lose sight ok f the ball

It's not with whom you argue with. It's with whom you can't. It's with whom you won't. That's the real argument.

No matter how reasonable and logical your point is when it comes to politics you always look foolish discussing politics. It's not the point, it's the politics.

@pattersonscott I’m not against the precautionary principle the problem is how does the agenda to fix it get audited because every process involved with humans and money is hijacked and corrupted. How long have we had to increase nuclear power? 20-30 years?

@PaulPortesi In the quest to make logical sense, we miss real sense. Difference between map and territory!

When you remove randomness through optimization techniques you reduce the entropy(number of possible states a the system can be in) which linearizes paths in the system that fragilize the system by creating instability from entropy compression. When you optimize you fragilized.
