Five #FirstPrinciples Ideas of #Hinduism
Hinduism is a very old religion with many different groups and beliefs.
#Brahman - Everything in the universe
#Atman - Your eternal soul
#Dharma- Doing what’s right
#Karma - Actions have consequences
#Moksha - Freedom from being reborn
What These Ideas Mean
These five ideas help explain how Hindus understand the world and how to live a good life.

The #Catholic Church: 5 #FirstPrinciples of the #brand
1. An Unbroken Chain Going Back to the Beginning
The Catholic Church says it has a direct connection all the way back to Jesus’s closest followers, called the Apostles. It’s like a family recipe that’s been passed down carefully for thousands of years without changing. The Church values keeping things the same and protecting #tradition rather than making up new ideas.

There will be aggressive, persuasive, and relentless attempts to make you look away.
If you are in favor of protecting learning and art during hard times, helping countries stay connected and work together, teaching people about faith and how to live right, stopping society from falling back into darkness, standing up against bullies and bad rulers, you might be Pope Leo in 1878.
Stop copying outcomes.
Start understanding causes.
First Principles Thinking isn’t about doing what worked for others -
It’s about rebuilding the answer from the ground up.
Think less like a follower.
More like a creator.
Upgrade how you think. 🧠✨

. For a retail marketplace, this means you can scale your engineering effort efficiently across multiple teams, knowing each iteration has a solid foundation.
By deconstructing problems to their fundamental truths, you trade the illusion of speed for the reality of sustainable, low-risk iteration.

I hope in the new year folks will stop being surprised that people with no #CoreValues, #FirstPrinciples, or sense of #shame will somehow operate differently or experience consequences.
Please stop saying how wild their hypocrisy is, that is the most important thing to grasp.

Eschew the spectacle, as @Remittancegirl says.
The hand-waving, light, sound, and fury is intended to inure, distract, and entertain.
It’s panem et circenses to replace substance, #CoreValues, and #FirstPrinciples.
The spectacle is a fig leaf to cover for their absence.
The #American people have always lived in a hypocritical, corrupt police state, but at least the majority held an ambition to live up to the ideals and #FirstPrinciples of a virtuous republic.
Now, a minoritarian faction that hates itself more than The Others™ wants to burn it all the fuck down.
They want to play with fire because it will hurt the people they hate, which also includes themselves.
I don’t make the rules 🤷🏻♂️
Society, culture, and civilization is an open source project.
The past and future have always been federated, public affairs.
Res publica.
Lower-case republican.
I don’t make the rules.
It is written.
This is, overall, an excellent writeup. I have a couple of quibbles (e.g., this WAS the expressed will of a plurality--though not a MAJORITY--of last years' voters, so our #AmericanOligarchs WEREN'T just ignoring the will of the people, and I do, for example, think a decent case could be made for handling illegal narcotics shipments into America as an act of war--as a form of chemical weapons, which have killed FAR more Americans than the attacks of those more famous "unlawful combatants" on 9/11) but even there, the #AgolfShitler administration consistently refuses even the most basic standards of evidence, oversight, and accountability REQUIRED FOR such justifications.
More to the point, though, Robin's writeup reminds us JUST HOW FAR the #Donjjal--the #MAGAts' 'messiah' who literally epitomizes EVERY SINGLE ONE of the Seven Deadly Sins--has (mis-)led us toward normalizing behaviors that EVERY CHILD can recognize as wrong...while spinning false #narrative woven from whole cloth out of #disinformation, to obfuscate and confuse those obvious conclusions for us 'more worldly' adults.
It's high time 'We, the People' rouse ourselves and put a stop to it. And Scott hints at a crucial conclusion that my wife (a scholar of ethics FOR DECISIONAKING) and I have reached as well: that getting back to and making explicit our "#FirstPrinciples of Americanism" that #Trumpsim stands manifestly opposed to is a key initial step.

@BrianJopek
They will deport folks on Indian reservations before they admit America is an idea, a concept, tied to #FirstPrinciples of the #Enlightenment, anchored in #virtue.
Which Christian #FirstPrinciples shaped the thinking of the #American Founding Fathers:
Four main ideas:
First, people are made in God’s image: The Founders believed this meant people could think and #reason. People could talk about problems and work together to solve them. This idea also helped some early Americans see that slavery was wrong.

@jonmsterling I once read of someone being complemented for their ability to think outside the box, to which they replied: "there is no box", and then after further thought they added: "you invented the box".
I write wagering that you might sympathise with such a commentator, who finds themselves explaining to their listener that they might live in, or have their thought constrained by, a box of their own making.
In a not-wholly-dissimilar vein, I wish that I knew to whom to attribute the quote "there's no such thing as software", which I came across, I assume written by an electrical engineer, when I read for the first time of Single Event Upsets or Bit-Flips.
As an aside I am also reminded of this short fictional story from @linuxgal https://techhub.social/@linuxgal/115442398217937734
