      new Sin I've noticed: using shitty (weak) arguments for things Spose you have some preference or normative belief, and you try to justify a policy implied by this belief using a transparently (to someone who doesnt share your preference) dumb argument with a positive component

      it seems likely that this will have a few effects dumb people or disinterested people might be swayed, absent pushback from an opponent attentive or opposed people will correctly judge you to be acting dishonestly and dishonorably, and be likely to discount your other claims

      people in your ingroup will feel obliged to defend your stupid fucking argument when its inevitably (correctly) attacked as dumb by outgroup folks, making them complicit in your Sin the outgroup will feel obliged to respond with their own dumb arguments prisoners dilemma style

          actually: I suspect this is the process by which moral mutation might happen in an Open subject, and thus realistically the only way someone who is e.g. a busybody bioconservative might Become Good. They have to enter a world in which they can defend an alien-to-them argument.

          In fact, I will double-down and say this is almost certainly how it works for most normies on the discourse! Remember, not long ago, anti-gay sentiment was okay to just straight up express. It didn't get the pushback it does even in right-conservative circles. What happened?

          A large part of the massive preference cascade was children coming to their parents and saying, "Hi dad, I'm gay." and getting tearful and confused answers of "Hi gay, I'm dad." And now they had a choice, they were faced with defending the inconceivable or rejecting family.

          Many of whom remained anti-gay right up until Obergefell vs. Hodges changed the law of the land, functionally, and then they had to incorporate THAT... the idea that they lived and felt vague patriotic thoughts about... a country that normalized and accepted gay marriage.

          hmmm I think we might be talking about two different things? or are you saying: people need dumb arguments available to justify their moral shifts to themselves? (this does seem true maybe)

          I am saying basically the kind of transparently dumb arguments you're talking about can become moral turning points. And that a "transparently dumb" argument is often one founded on a Haidtian moral foundation that you don't have (or only hold very weakly). For instance, Volk.

          failing to fall in line with your tribe's discourse that's weak as hell and out of touch with reality reveals that you are overly concerned with accurate comprehension of the world, which is a form of power that doesn't depend on the tribe's approval, so you are not to be trusted
