judgements

The issue is something everyone overlooks when making these kinds of judgements: adaptability.

From there, people can make their own judgements on how to act given that information.

You can look at Mel, a 'Real Programmer', and realize that you can't make value judgements of what true programming is.

You're making incredible judgements about an individual who clearly spends the time to learn how to be a responsible gun owner.

Of course, the standards-of-proof are lower in a civil case, and it remains unlikely most civil judgements would change a federal prosecutor's priorities.

There's no amount of conscious effort that will prevent you from making all sorts of automatic judgements about people based on their appearance.

I made no remarks disparaging defense/aerospace workers, and I don't make moral judgements against people who choose that as a career.

With ever-increasing exposure to opinions and personal anecdotes / experiences on the internet these days, it's more important than ever to make your own judgements.

It also let's you make better judgements on likelihood they're lying.

Edit: I'd like to add that I am not trying to make value judgements here.

Aside from my lack of amusement by Haskell's type system, I'm not making any moral or qualitative judgements one way or another.

Sounds a whole lot like Kant's synthetic a priori judgements.

I wish there was a really good source for analysis on the Greek situation that ignored value judgements of what "should" happen.

I don't want to stigmatize by calling it "economic ideology" as this implies an irrationality that I don't mean to imply, but ideology is more or less what I mean, sans value judgements.

For all self-stated credentials of the author, I would expect him to recognize this fact a bit more, and pile on his value judgements declaring "failure" a bit less.

If you accept that our brains automatically make these judgements and therefore we're unlikely to be able to train ourselves out of it, then the most interesting question is: "How do you hack this?" What can an individual do to maximize good judgements?
