You hallucinated that, David. I let people make up their own minds on ethics and morality. Effectiveness is a (mostly) separate topic.

Consistently pivoting about questions about the moral implications of your arguments. Is is itself a moral position.

I put no value on my opinion of other people's morality. Why do you value it higher? (Obviously I do care about outcomes and effectiveness.)
-
I gues im having are hard time divorcing the two. So yes I do care about other's morality or their moral choices the way I see them

Strange episode. Scott Adams strikes me as an obscurantist. For all the talk of greater truth, whenever Sam would work toward a point...

-
What would be one example in which I did not acknowledge Sam was right?

Economy good. ISIS on the ropes. I could go on. You're being duped by the mainstream media's persuasion game.

Attributing the economy to Trump rather than the former administration is you being either economically ignorant or intentionally dishonest
