You should be loyal to people and ready to throw away ideas quickly. People are what matter, false ideas have negative value.

- JohnFen 1y agoExactly so, depending on what you mean by "loyal". If "my side" is espousing nonsense, then the sort of loyalty that says I shouldn't push back against the nonsense (or, worse, that I should support or defend them in actions I think are wrong) is toxic.
- msgodel 1y agoYes, I'd argue failing to correct the ones you care about is a kind of dereliction. Loyalty to them means patiently arguing. Of course you might be the one who's incorrect. That's what I meant by "you should be ready to throw away ideas quickly."
