@St_Rev Assume they really believed it needed to happen so sun would come up. Blameless, since they acted morally given their beliefs? -
@St_Rev Another example is that it may take courage to reconsider a belief, or perhaps justice to see through a convenient rationalization. -
@simplic10 The real desirable things here are 'reconsidering belief' and 'seeing through rationalization'. Courage & justice are spooks. -
@St_Rev I think there exists a cultivable mental capacity that increases one's ability to reconsider a belief, & to stand up for a coworker. -
@simplic10 The cultivable capacity to stand up for a coworker is called 'aggression' I think. -
@St_Rev courage ~= aggression, at the right time, for the right reasons -
@simplic10 Aggression + compassion. But compassion is concretely situated. -
@St_Rev meaning, property of this sit'n, not a property of a compassionate person? - 5 more replies
