So, I’ve been chatting with my buddies lately, and it’s turned into a bunch of debates about right and wrong. I think I have a pretty solid moral compass, I’m not bragging haha, but most people I know can’t really explain why something’s right or wrong without getting all circular or contradicting themselves.
So, how do you figure out what to do? No judgment, just curious. I’ll share my thoughts below.
Thanks!

Can you elaborate? The “Golden Mean Fallacy” is literally the name of a logical fallacy, though I don’t you meant it that way. Maybe a “things are more complicated than just black or white” kind of thing?
The golden mean fallacy is about factual truth not experiences which is just hijacked term by people who didn’t understand what Golden Mean means.
Its also not a useful fallacy and contradicts with legitimate truth seeking techniques like baysian thought which is by far the most popular and de facto default way people think about truth.
