# Don't Feed the Trolls My posts are meant to make people think and act as discussion starters. So yes, they are provocative. I fancy myself somewhat of a conversational provocateur. **BUT** Occasionally, I catch a troll. Trolls are identifiable by looking for a few discernible traits. 1. They claim to understand the subject matter better than you but are unwilling to share that knowledge. 2. Instead, they engage primarily in ad hominem and other fallacies. 3. Like those men that stare at goats, they make claims on your motives as if they know you. 4. Their tone is irrationally angry. Like you hurt their feelings somehow, or killed their dog. You cannot rationalize with the butt hurt. 5. Trying to engage with such posts merely returns more of the same. # PLEASE ## Don't Feed the Trolls Send a biting meme and move on with your life. It's too short to tolerate their ilk. If necessary, go ahead and block them. Better still, block them if they are trolling someone else. When it fails to keep your attention it moves on to bother someone else. Unless of course they are a professional whore working for "Homeland Security" But normal hobby trolls get bored over time and move on. I hope this helps you to identify and remember not to feed the trolls #dontFeedTrolls #growNostr # PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE # DON'T FEED THE TROLLS

# The Pareto Principle Are you familiar with the Pareto principle? If so, can you use this to your advantage? Or is it a condition in which you're hopelessly trapped? I can see both points of view. I think it probably cannot be escaped until you understand it. Even then it might just make you understand why you're stuck, or successful.

Treating war like it's a sporting event is an extremely immature take on life and death AND that's what patriots do.

If your intellectual opponents are accidentally right more than you are, perhaps it's time to reconsider your position.

# The New Abolutionism >That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, **it is the right of the people** to alter or **to abolish it**,... > >-Declaration of Independence It probably should read: Being that every form of government is by nature destructive to its people and in opposition to their freedom it is the **Right** of the people to abolish it upon such recognition. #abolution #abolishTheState I don't know if that's perfect, but something like that seems right.
