Harm

Don't materially harm other people;
emotional harm is unavoidable.

Moderation

Moderation is moderation;
moderation is not an unavoidable slippery slope to the opposite extreme.

Outlawing

Don't outlaw things that you personally don't want to do.
Outlaw things that you don't want done to you.

Expertise

Sometimes it is more effective to do many tasks poorly, than to do few tasks well.

Persuasion

An effective way to persuade an individual, is ask questions to get them to explain/reconsider their assumptions/reasoning.

Likable People

Women like "cute", men like "sexy", everyone likes "pretty".
And everyone likes unconditional affection/respect --
which conflicts with good judgement.

Cruelty

We are nice people who destroy ourselves & each other out of boredom.
