Don't Worry About Looking Good

Sometimes We Forge Our Own Principles And Sometimes We Accept Others' Principles, Or Holistic Packages Of Principles, Such As Religion And Legal Systems. While It Isn't Necessarily A Bad Thing To Use Others' Principles - It's Difficult To Come Up With Your Own, And Often Much Wisdom Has Gone Into Those Already Created - Adopting Pre-packaged Principles Without Much Thought Exposes You To The Risk Of Inconsistency With Your True Values.

Never Say Anything About A Person You Wouldn't Say To Them Directly, And Don't Try People Without Accusing Them To Their Face. Badmouthing People Behind Their Backs Shows A Serious Lack Of Integrity And Is Counterproductive. It Doesn't Yield Any Beneficial Change, And It Subverts Both The People You Are Badmouthing And The Environment As A Whole.

Don't Be A Perfectionist, Because Perfectionists Often Spend Too Much Time On Little Differences At The Margins At The Expense Of Other Big, Important Things. Be An Effective Imperfectionist. Solutions That Broadly Work Well (e.g., How People Should Contact Each Other In The Event Of Crises) Are Generally Better Than Highly Specialized Solutions (e.g., How Each Person Should Contact Each Other In The Event Of Every Conceivable Crisis).

In China Anything Less Than 6% Growth Is A Recession Meaning That It Also Causes Financial Problems And It's Disruptive And It's A Problem.

That's What I Mean By Radical Truth. I Mean Accepting Reality.
