When one is designing theories, it can often be useful to keep in mind that they are theories. For example: > As is the standard playbook of dictator/authoritarian apologism, you completely reverse causality here... You don't actually know the causality, because it cannot be known, it can only be predicted and believed. I think it may also not be possible to not do this, depending on the individual and their cultural/educational background. > Stop committing mass murder, rape, genocide, child abduction, theft, purposeful destruction of civilian infrastructure, and war crimes in general. You first lamow. It's usually fairly easy and non-controversial to stay grounded when one is working with computer systems (or similar), but when working with large biological systems it can be much harder to remember, which is kind of counterintuitive considering the complexity of the systems is infinitely larger. I think if one is embedded within a system, that might be the differentiating psychological factor?
