PATHS TO NON-JUDGMENT
“multiple paths to same destination: stop judging. pick what fits your worldview.”
The Lesson
Different paths to being less judgmental based on your beliefs. No free will: if you had their body chemistry and experiences, you'd do exactly what they did. Uniqueness: we're all infinitely unique, so we're all weird. Religious: it's God's job to judge, not yours. Practical: there's no utility in judgment-it helps nothing. Identity: judging makes YOU a judgmental person. Philosophical: we're watching movies, not reality-hard to judge what you can't really see. Relationship: judgment is always bad for relationships, no exceptions. And 'brutal honesty' in relationships usually means being an a-hole.
Real-World Example
A founder catches themselves judging a struggling employee harshly. They try the frames: 'With their background and brain chemistry, I'd probably perform the same.' 'Being judgmental makes me a judgmental leader-is that who I want to be?' 'This judgment will damage the relationship and won't improve their performance.' The judgment dissolves. They shift to curiosity about what's blocking the employee.
