  • Maybe there’s a good argument for nonviolence but “the means dictate the ends” isn’t it imo. It could be that there’s more to it in the book but presented as is I’d say it doesn’t follow logically, I’m going to want to see proof that it’s actually true which is going to be tricky because there are obvious counter examples.

    The easiest one is probably Ukraine. I’m sure most Ukrainians want to live in a peaceful and nonviolent society, but if they took your principle to heart there would be no Ukraine right now.













  • Yes I agree, and just because there is a methodology doesn’t make the result not arbitrary. Can you explain what number four means? How do I assess it, what’s a 0, what’s a 5 and what’s a 10? How does number 2 relate to bias, isn’t that a factuality rating thing , why is it in the bias rubric? It’s a joke, each rating is totally arbitrary as there is no definition of what each one means beyond some vague description of the category. It’s essentially pick a number, feels based.

    I have worked with qualitive rubrics before and this one is barely worthy of the name honestly. Two people could take this rubric away and come to completely opposite conclusions based on their own biases.
