(fwiw I disagree entirely with dhh and consider him mostly a troll) but that quote applies equally to religions, cult members, etc

Cult members are the last people who'd go against their peers. That's practically the defining quality of a cult.

The test of your principles is whether you consistently favour the privileged or the marginalised.
-
Surely it's better to be on the side of whoever's in the right, not merely whoever is the weaker?
-
The key word is "consistently". Successful people routinely overvalue their own contribution to their success 1/
-
& have blind spots about the role of good fortune in their life. Therefore to consistently side with them & not the disadvantaged 2/
-
is potentially indicative of a cognitive bias which has wider ramifications when it is held by a powerful person such as yourself. /3

@kirtipatelmd what if your principle is white moderation and the biggest impediment to progress? -
care to explain? not sure what you're referring to
-
white moderates are pretending that trump racism/sexism is within the normal political spectrum. they claim principlepic.twitter.com/P5Bi7VOQ6Y
-
oh god he is nowhere near the "normal spectrum" & shouldn't be accepted on principle
-
agreed, but thiel says trump's great, &
@sama thinks thiel's material support of trump must be accepted on principle -
do you have any friends or family members who are Trump supporters & how do you deal with them?
-
I personally try to appreciate my own trumpkins for their better assets & when I can, argue w/ them gently...
-
...in the hope of inserting doubt & getting them to change their minds
