a pure rule base deontological stance has one core weakness. the greater the circle of the In Group the larger the circumference of the edge cases like the though experiment above.

the solution of dealing w/ those edge cases by increasing the size of the circle DOES solve those problems but see... a bigger bunch of NEW problems at the new edge.

large hierarchies of value and cults share an appetite for rule-based followers. they are like the concrete and steel with which skyscrapers can be built. their coping mechanism is perfectly suited for growth.

brainwashing isn’t about a specific value system but about converting a hooman’s moral framework to deontology.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1347436625903702016 …

note the weird pattern of conflict. it’s always rule-based paladins fighting other paladins. angels calling other angels demonshttps://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1352866450323644416 …

“those religious irrational rule based idiots should give up their backwards thinking and embrace my rule based science!” “actually, science is about questioni...” “fuck off Feynman, go juggle somewhere else!”

Voice is by nature centralized while Exit is decentralized. Voice requires a loud consistent message that can be spread without distortion. The message IS the rule. The “Mission” IS the Life.
