Collective Divestment

The Bible teaches Don’t Judge. Don’t judge is nice because it covers liability, reduces surface area that leads to liability.

If I don’t make a judgment on something, I am not saying it is right or wrong, I am also not ideally enabling or disabling others from making judgment or assessment on the same thing.

Liability is not all good. If someone judges our country should go to war, there might be deaths, if someone judges our country should not go to war, there might be deaths. How power is used matters, gets less than ideally turned up, and there is good reason to divest from how it is used, from liability in its use, does not equate to divestment is consequence free. That said divestment at times might be more consequence free, less liability and thus gets turned up.

Democracies lead to votes, votes enable power in the hands of some and not others, and that plays out both locally and on the World stage more ideally for some than others. Profit is in by design, competition is in by design, and it plays out less than ideal on World stage is in by design.

Collective divestment from assessment is not all good. Collective divestment from judgment is good – anyone has potential to be trained wrong, and nobody has comprehension at God’s level, nor is it wise to turn up ideal comprehension of pain and suffering, empathy for all. The combination is consequential and amplifies less than ideally in our world. Assessment and Judgment get mixed does not equate to the difference is not consequential. People might assess someone should be put in jail, and assessment seen as a system that will be less than ideal, doesn’t have to be idealed (because it is not Judgment) is consequential, throughput enabling, and potential for not all good.

Assessment that is not judgment would ideally factor in lack of truth, oppression, world events, and problems inherent in the system, in systems. Assessment that is built upon less than ideal comprehension might enable greater throughput though might also be consequential in non ideal ways. A more fair and just system matters. Ideally fair and just unlikely does not equate to we shouldn’t pursue a more fair and just system, better comprehension, compassion, and positive paths forward for all.

Is the system fair and just, adequate oppression reduced? God said don’t judge, thus I should divest from assessment?
