Judgments
A description of virtually all human thoughts and actions.
Banners and slogans claiming “No Judgment” are therefore incoherent nonsense designed to placate our fragile sensibilities. They are an insult.
The confusion about judgment is rooted in HUBRIS. Our brain comes programmed with innate heuristics that prioritize our own presuppositions as superior to those of others and sometimes even more valid than reality. Despite a wealth of research confirming this, we behave as though our default views are something more than mere judgments. We assume we are right; we believe our opinions more closely approximate TRUTH than we have any business concluding.
All we have are judgments, and we need to negotiate how to manage the conflicts that arise when two or more collide.
Those who claim they are tapping directly into truth can be dismissed without consequence.
