Sitter/participant relationship quality

Revision as of 03:17, 30 May 2025 by >Graham (Adding Alan Watts more direct reference. There's a lot of tangentially related quotes and an additional specific direct quote somewhere; these are just in my not-as-preferred lecture collection.)

Note: Avoid doing and believing others' self-righteous indignation (aka 'I'm harming you for your own good'); it's a self-justification for promoting harm towards others derived from nonprovable value systems. View these moral grandstanders with extreme suspicion as they typically produce the worst outcomes for others via the delusion that they do not act in self-interest.[1][2][3][4][5][6] This behavior is born from mediocrity that fuels an ego-inflating/ego-protecting existential ressentiment.[7]
