I saw physical courage in the wars I covered. But I rarely saw moral courage, the courage of individuals to defy the machine, especially the military machine, to stand up for what is just and right, to defend the vulnerable and the weak, to name and condemn the crimes committed…
Part of me is annoyed at myself for letting this Israeli racist colonel get under my skin.
Part of me thinks we should normalize telling genocidal war criminals to "fuck off" on television.
This is the most important moral problem I've ever encountered.
Through my life I learned ethics via regret, like trial-and-error: you spontaneously feel bad about hurting someone (or doing something wrong) & never do the specific thing again.
But a more advanced moral rule: to…

Skin in the game makes a demarcation between real and faux experts. A plumber/dentist/electician/belly dancer is an expert; a bureaucrat/economist à la @R_Thaler is not as there is no survival filter, no SITG.

The only people who think there is no genocide are:
1- Those committing the genocide,
2- Governments controlled by those committing the genocide,

Once you learn to think, conformity becomes a difficult habit to adopt again. Doubt and critical examination become your guide, not for rebellion but for evolution.
No one who learns to think can go back to obey as he did before, not out of a rebellious spirit, but out of the…
Most ironic thing is that in all the time IQ ppl spent 'researching', shilling, arguing IQ, they could've learnt languages, biology, maths & actually BECOME more intelligent.
But a racist is stunted.
Why doesn’t the guy on the right go where there are more apples?

I've rarely met an independent scientist, that is someone who doesn't care about an employer, sources of funds, reputation, customers, resumé building, etc. (Financial independence rarely eliminates dependence.) Such a scientist is Stephen Wolfram, @stephen_wolfram.
