Another survivor lesson: people pick out specific social niches within a group. They will frequently clash with anyone else who picks the same niche.

A couple more points that I see a true laws, since they spring from mathematics:
- the larger your coalition, the stronger it will be
- the more specific criteria you require to join, the fewer people will be part of it.

How do I resolve this contradiction? Because the coalition of the moral is numerous and mighty.
"Help your fellow" is not a fact discovered - it's a commitment adhered to. If enough of us make that commitment, and we stick together, then we are the mighty, and we can impose our moral vision.

The court declined to offer any explanation for their decision. This is just speculation.

The one that always bothers me is when someone says they "can't even understand why" a person did a bad thing. As though not understanding is morally superior.
Hey! If you want less of a bad thing in the world, maybe try to understand what causes it?

No, that's something that can easily change. You just have to target other people as lonely as you are.

You're misunderstanding the argument. They're citing 2001-2011 as a baseline for what should be a "normal ratio". Then it changed to 0 for 25 in the years after.

Not just some offhand remark either. It's the entire point of the piece!

Not really. Most people don't pay nearly as much attention to politics as the average bluesky denizen.

If objectivity is intersubjective agreement, you can take this idea further than just agreement between humans.
If we polled all the aliens, we might get very different answers about whether fried eggs taste better than ice cream. But there'd be agreement that iron is denser than graphite.

But it is possible to (objectively) say that one thing is more objective than another. It's a direction along a continuum.
And its often a direction that is worth striving towards.

Order each question from most to least divisive. The first on the list can be described as more subjective, and the last are more objective.
That doesn't mean perfectly objective. Perfectly objective can still be as incoherent as describing something as perfectly tall.
