Author’s
Preface: The highlights are probably the minimal amount you’ll read. Reading is hard for many, but if you don’t
want to try, don’t bother asking me what I believe.
Maxim: “Avoid political discussions when “everyone’s
society” cannot receive a guaranteed benefit.”
The
Highlights of Abstract Mirroring:
- Political mirroring is the willing acceptance of political beliefs for expediency and only because of ones’ intellectual superiority in the context of a forced political conversation.
- The Mirror Equation: Belief Acceptance + Context = Harmony
- Belief Acceptance: Assent means you willingly accept a belief. This philosophy owes nothing to the unreason of the average 2017 political debate. It applies to all ideologies when needed by its users. Belief acceptance is solely for the purpose of surviving the boorish political conversation.
- Context: The people, place, and time of a political discussion are critical to mirroring. If you’re not there and aware, it doesn’t count. For our purposes, there are no “glorious pasts” or “progressive futures” other than what you should agree to in a conversation in context.
- Harmony: The purpose of this philosophy is to make debaters feel better and comforted that their flawed arguments are correct. Harmony exists when committed debaters believe they are right.
- This is a method more than an ideology as available facts and logical arguments mostly are not available when added to the simplistic abstractions offered today.
- Mirroring is the most logical, moral, and rational way to approach the irrational context of current political debate.
