Hypocrition
Just stop telling people what to do. Which also includes not telling people what not to do.
That’s what I said.
However….
Firstofly, it’s a paradox of an instruction – an instruction not to follow an instruction. A hypocrition, if you will.
Secondofly, the main problem is when said instructions are enforced with the threat of violence, e.g. law, police, court, gaol, or worse still, social media shaming. They’re just so hard to ignore, even if you vehemently disagree.
Thirdofly, all social and psychological platforms invented by humans are based on the principle of bending the actions and thoughts of the individual to the “collective good”. That is, do and think what we tell you to (follow the instructions), for your own good and everyone else’s good.
The issue we have now is that;
- The platforms for communicating and enforcing the so-called common good are increasingly complex and open to infestation by bad actors, and
- The Pareto rule is being ignored. We are now creating and enforcing rules that do not pass any sane risk-benefit analysis, hence
- Perfectly good and sane people, thusly frustrated, are going over to the dark side.
As we used to say, fuck a duck.
