Absolutely, positively not!
Try the following Friendliness implementation on yourself.
1. <The absolute hardest part>
Assume (just for the purposes of argument) that all of the below are true
tautologies
(only the top line is actually necessary :-):
Selfish <--> Intelligent <--> Friendly <--> Plays Well With Others <-->
Ethical
^
|
v
Mark's Designed Friendly Religion of Ethics
^
|
v
Core of any given religion + Unethical/stupid add-ons <--> THE core
of all religions
2. Alter your personal definitions of the words/phrases so that each pair *IS*
a tautology in your mind
(Please, feel free to e-mail me if you need help. This can be *very* tough
but with different sticking points for each person).
3. See if you can use these tautologies to start mathematically proving things
like:
a.. equal rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are ethical!
OR
b.. total heresy alert! Richard Dawkins is absolutely, positively WRONG
4. Then try proving that the following is ethical (and failing :-):
a.. individual right to property
5. Wait about a week and watch your own personal effectiveness and happiness
skyrocket.
