And if you do these things and aim for these goals, then you will have a good life and you'll be a good person and you'll be happier.

And so if you're missing the mark, you're harming yourself.

And so the sin isn't that you're offending God in some way.

The sin is just that you're hurting yourself by not getting as close to the goal as you could.

And so you want to minimize these misses.

And if we take that interpretation, then I almost think the seven sins of rationalists sounds really good because every single one of them

that Ben talked about was things that are good if you do them to some level.

You don't want to not have any care for technical accuracy, but you also don't want to do it so much that you're a pedant and it overtakes all the conversation to a point that doesn't matter.

And so you can miss the mark in either direction.

And it sounded really good like that.

And I kind of wanted to say, why didn't you just use the word sin?

But like...

And it comes with all the religious baggage.

And I think most people don't use sin in this way right now.

It's more of a New Age liberal hippie interpretation.

So the way that he kind of like.

But if sin is missing the mark, then there is a certain level of doing the thing which is on the mark.

and as sin is like being far from that amount i mean what's the correct what's the correct sinful amount of elaboration like in just enough so that we're not confused and um mountain bailing oh yeah in fact you're right my my mistake i i forgot

And also, you know, if you're saying there's seven sins, then that kind of implies that there's some sort of rationalist pope.

And, you know, maybe Ben can become the rationalist pope if he keeps working at this.
