Reply to comment by ppetree in Our stated political beliefs are irrational when taken as a package – the don’t appear to form coherent wholes. But we should be skeptical about whether these irrational political beliefs are really beliefs by IAI_Admin

Incorrect - some people believe that "help each other make it to the end" is a good idea, but once people start throwing the word obligation around, or speaking in confident false dichotomies, some people get nervous, and I'm one of them.

The word "obligation" was never a part of my comment. That's your distortion.

I see what the problem is, you're interpreting obligation as work and I'm interpreting it as a moral kindness that comes without effort.

I think you failed to address this:

"The word "obligation" was never a part of my comment. That's your distortion."

Are you willing to address it, or do you refuse?
