## What might I be willing to die for?
- [[Reciprocal positivity]]
- [[Impact]]
## [[Morality|Ethics]]
### [[Play long term games with long term people]]
### Extreme respect for people’s time
[[Golden rule]]: I highly respect my [[Philosophy/Rationality/Time|time]] so I highly respect others’ time
### I want to refactor my mind to incorporate these
#### Forgive ignorance
I accept more or less ignorance depending on the background, some people are more forgivable than others.
We’ve all been ignorant, we’re all stupid apes. We have different [[The Map is not the Territory|map of the territory]]
We must not forget that [[The Internet]] is a game-breaker for learning, I might have been complete ignorant without it, I got hundreds books from it.
### Others
- Politeness (optimisation for cooperation) with strangers - something hard to optimise, I don't want to compromise my identity for the sake of politeness but sometimes I still do by politeness
