Is this a job interview, or just an introspective for the back pages.

I'm just trying to figure out what you believe.

If you describe yourself as "sometimes this and sometimes that" or "wishy-washy" or "undetermined" or "a moral contortionist", I would normally equate any of those terms with "unprincipled". I'm just asking if you would personally agree to that specific terminology or if you prefer something slightly more precise, like perhaps "non-principled".

Or perhaps you consider your lack of identifiable principles to be its own (meritorious) principle?

Or, or, maaaybe you're anti-principle?

Do you believe that all principles are evil and that all people who follow principles are somehow fundamentally suspect?

😒 Oh, OK.

In that case, I would say that predicting the future is quite hard to do, as people change, sometimes.

So, yes, quite unprincipled, in that new data has tended to change long cherished beliefs, but not so much in an unbridled meaning.

Principles have their place.
Dissent is important to finding 'the truth'.

Who is to say?

Not sure why I was tagged at this point I agree with @freebornangel - glad you tagged me though because as you know I am not good at keeping up with things :). I would add it is the data we perceive which then changes our perspective, but that is where you need to be aware that you are in fact accepting data and essentially running a test of it. I think that creates a case for not wanting to be polarizing because you realise that if you act on it then you have accepted and changed your principle. Not sure if this makes any sense but it is like having heard something which is contrary but repeating to see how others react, this then reinforces that you have been wrong to a degree or even right and then a person tends to merge or reject that but in general it is all a bit grey. If I think principles though I think rigid, and maybe a better word needs to be used when speaking of the choices that have been made and of governance in general because principles seem to be on a pedestal with morals and we are discussing the white lies in a sense. Absolutes are difficult.

I'm going with absolutes are not an option, ATP.
Not for humans behavior.
Isn't acting out of character the definition of crazy?

If you like, @logiczombie, I can link you to my human behavior resource, but you will have to study, and practice, the techniques for yourself.
It is not without benefit to know these things first hand, in my experience.

I can link you to my human behavior resource,

I'd be very interested in investigating such a thing.

Start with this one, let me know when you finish it, and I will give you a link you are unlikely to read in its entirety.
