Also, if you’re not fucking up occasionally, then you’re probably not pushing yourself hard enough

There exists a problem. Problem requires a solution. Solution requires diagnosing problem and using reasoning to solve craft solution.

Assigning blame (root cause analysis) can wait. First, fix problem. Then analyze how/why problem happened and implement corrective and preventative actions.

A company I used to work for actually had a policy of never to assign root cause as “Human error”. Individuals actually never got blamed. Instead, it was perhaps that there wasn’t enough training, or certain procedures were lacking which could’ve prevented the problem, etc.

One time someone had accidentally broke an $8 million dollar piece of equipment. They were never fired, or reprimanded at all. Instead, the investigation assigned root cause to lack of adequate safety procedures, or something like that. Therefore actions are taken to help prevent recurrence instead of just saying “They did it! Fire them!!”

They were a great company to work for because of this.

I don’t drink soda. Why? So I can tell people that I don’t drink soda.

Not disagreeing with you; how do you suggest a way for admissions to reliably compare applicants with each other? A 3.5 at one school can mean something completely different than a 3.5 at another school.

Something like the SAT is far from perfect, but it is a way one number that means the same thing across applicants.

Would you really kill and torture though? Just because there are “no rules” doesn’t mean there are “no consequences”.

Anonymous message boards like 4chan where people can say anything will obviously bring the worst out (because there are no consequences), and are not at all representative of how society might function without “rules”.

Put those people in a room together and watch them try and survive? …well, maybe 4chan isn’t a good representation for my theoretical scenario. But nonetheless, you put people in a room and one of them murders someone, you bet the others will team up to prevent that person from murdering again. A “rule” isn’t necessarily born out of it, but rather a response to the need to survive that’s rooted in us all. And because of this need, social structures begin to form from these responses (people grouping together to figure out how to prevent others from murdering).

You don’t need an overarching power structure telling you to not murder people. Humans will respond accordingly whenever there are those who threaten that innate drive to survive and thrive.
