RE: Whataboutism

I actually try to keep my content short. I don't like to read too dragged out articles. Ofc the more credit to those long pieces that I actually read like yours about BTC ;). Did not have the time to really comment though.

"unquestioning reference of others as precondition" Me neither. But society loves to do it and I think to a certain degree even you have to:

Did you prove yourself that e=mc² or do you just believe that the narrative is convincing. At some point you have to say " Ok there are people who have provided a plausible theory."

Science usually observes a phenomenon and then tries to find an explanation.

Logic on the other sets preconditions and looks at the logical consequences of said preconditions. If the preconditions are true your conclusion has to be true "under all circumstances".

Without "common values"/preconditions we will never find a common truth. I also think it is good that people around the world have different values. I don't want to equalize them, I want them to make the rules/laws more local so communities can live to their values instead of global values.
