Why should there be more of that on LW: (1) it is equally practical and important aspect of ethics as the self-help aspect
It would call for a series of ‘self help’ style of posts explaining:
The benefits of creating boundaries between your own identity and other people’s declarations of wrongness.
The art of balancing freedom with political expedience when dealing with other agents who are attempting to coerce you socially.
How to maintain internal awareness of the distinction between what you do not do for fear of social consequences vs what you do not do because of your own ethical values.
The difference between satisfying the preferences of others vs acquiescing to their demands. Included here would be how to deal with those who haven’t developed the ability to express their own desires except indirectly via the declarations of what it is ‘right’ for others do.
On the other hand, when i look at self help i see something i will continue to delay/slowly progress at a constant rate because my current situation seems to be quite similar to my ideal situation. I think that once you reach that point is when you start a more constant but passive process of improvement.
