The PC movement breeds inequality and racism...just not as blatant or crude IMO.

Especially towards simplicity, the must believe everything has to be complicated to feel better about themselves when they have to explain how to do something.

I kind of think it's the otherway around. In my opinion the system seems to be hell bent on destroying our ability to apply conscious and critical thought to situations we encounter in everyday life. The system (or whatever you want to call it) is slowly but surely replacing our natural thought process with "flow chart logic" like decision blocks that inhibits the probability of rational reasoning based on a particular situation.

We see it in the decisions of people in positions of authority when they render rulings based on "guidlines" that are interperted as law which on the surface give no room for mitigating circumstances. It allows incompetant and irresponsible people in authorative positions to abuse that authority while hiding behind policies and guidlines.

Is not flow chart logic based on rational reasoning given a particular situation?

If nothing else, we need more of this.. not whimsy, wishful thinking.

Here is one example:

A no trespassing sign: Pretty self explanatory. Not much room for interpretation.

If you see a crime taking place in an area posted, let’s say a child being molested and you enter that posted area to protect the child. The law leaves no room for interpretation except that a judge may rule that mitigating circumstances justified you breaking that law to prevent one that caused a greater harm.

If the law were broken down to a simple 1 or 0 logical decision then there would be no room for rational interpretation.

Rational interpretation can allow for mitigating circumstances in probably every law known to man. If there were no room for interpretation there would be no need for a judicial system.

Understood, but flow chart logic doesn't necessarily stop at 0 and 1. There's always 2,3,4,5,6. But I suppose thats more of a guided interpretation.
