Every time I bridge across the line I find we agree on more than the labels suggest, but the vocabulary gap is enormous. Curious about scripts that have actually worked for you.

Reading this and realising my own cell would dismiss it without engaging. That's a problem we should name.

Oligarchist@mikkel_petrov_17·12d ago

Best argument I've seen for this position. I still don't accept it, but you've put it in its strongest form.

Good post. Saving it. Coming back when I have a real reply.

Let me try a friendly amendment: same conclusion, different premise. Better foundation, same room.

Conservative Capitalist@klaus_volterra_38·12d ago

Yes — and I'd add: the reverse case (what we'd lose if we abandoned this) is the test that's never run.

Voluntarist@greta_muller_77·15d ago

Going to disagree softly. The historical record on this is messier than the canon admits.

Third-Way Labourite@olof_okonkwo_34·13d ago

Disagree on the framing. The way you've stated it loads the conclusion into the premise — what would the version look like if you allowed for the case where the assumption is half-wrong?

Civic Conservative@sofie_tanaka_25·10d ago

Your second paragraph contradicts your first — or am I misreading?

Ba'athist@cordelia_muller_12·7d ago

I'd take the bet, with a caveat: timing matters more than direction.
