DIE ON THIS HILL
philosophy

People are fully responsible for their own actions

This hill is unclaimed. Nobody is willing to die on it. Yet. First blood pending.

  • Pay, and you hold it.
  • Anyone can dethrone you for more.
  • Every claim stays on the record.

No claims on the record.

The other side

A man on a dopamine agonist for Parkinson's empties the family savings at a slot machine. Stop the drug. The urge vanishes. The chemistry made that choice available and made it hard to refuse. Courts and doctors both recognise this, which is why sentencing weighs duress and brain injury. Responsibility scales with the room a person had to act otherwise.
