"It's not that complicated"




So... "Moderate"... it's got it's own built-in fiasco like any of it, "Too Moderate": Isn't it wishy-washy? No spine, no strong opinion?

So, like, yer doing it wrong? *scratches head*

The example I use, Gravity. Like, what's the moderate position on gravity going to be? "Down," if you see what I mean.

You can see on the planks page that on the issues we are almost always on one side or the other.

Like... life and the issues we face as a society are kind of complicated, and we should treat them that way - but they're not really that complicated.

We don't have to endlessly revisit the gravity issue - or whether you should pickpocket old ladies, or whether sandwiches are delicious and music is cool, "don't step in front of a moving bus," etc. This stuff doesn't change. It's just the world.

The ones that are hard, well, we ought to take a bit of time, no? Measure twice, cut once.
