Absolutely, positively not!
I'm sorry, Mark, but I am completely baffled by this.
Perhaps it is because I was unable to keep up with the previous
discussion. Can you back up a little and explain the connection?

Try the following Friendliness implementation on yourself.
1. <The absolute hardest part>
*Assume* (just for the purposes of argument) that all of the below are
true tautologies
(only the top line is actually necessary :-):
Selfish <--> Intelligent <--> Friendly <--> Plays Well With Others
<--> Ethical
^
|
v
Mark's Designed Friendly Religion of Ethics
^
|
v
Core of any given religion + Unethical/stupid add-ons <-->
THE core of all religions
2. Alter your personal definitions of the words/phrases so that each
pair *IS* a tautology in your mind
(Please, feel free to e-mail me if you need help. This can be
*very* tough but with different sticking points for each person).
3. See if you can use these tautologies to start mathematically proving
things like:
* equal rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are
ethical! OR
* total heresy alert! Richard Dawkins is absolutely, positively WRONG
4. Then try proving that the following is ethical (and failing :-):
* individual right to property
5. Wait about a week and watch your own personal effectiveness and
happiness skyrocket.
