Comments on: a call for help, a plea for sanity https://globalspin.com/2006/04/a-call-for-help-a-plea-for-sanity/ a glimpse into the tiny mind of Chris Radcliff Sat, 01 May 2010 03:53:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.8 By: Chris https://globalspin.com/2006/04/a-call-for-help-a-plea-for-sanity/comment-page-1/#comment-1342 Sun, 30 Apr 2006 04:03:14 +0000 http://globalspin.com/2006/04/28/772/#comment-1342 Hm. I like the definition given for Tautological Rationalizers:

“Tautological Rationalizers are not hypocrites because their beliefs and perceptions of reality conform to support their own desires and imperfections. They can not be hypocrites because their beliefs and perceptions of reality are rationalizations for their actions and are without objectivity. When a state of hypocrisy arises, tautological rationalizers conform their beliefs around their actions to eliminate contradiction, rather than conforming their actions around their beliefs.”

It would be nice to have something catchier, though.

I feel like there must be such a word, but I just cannot think of what it might be.

Funny enough, I understand and agree with your post. But what bristled the hair on my neck was the phrase “nuke the moon.” It’s like “stone the baby.” What the heck? The moon never did anything to anyone!
