No it's not and that's a terrible way to view the world.

Are you the same idiot who argued with me before because he thought he'd found the Word of God in this random philosophical exercise?

Edit: nope, different moron. I wonder why this silly thing is making the idiot rounds lately? It's like when a 19 year old has their first philosophy 101 class and thinks they've gained supreme knowledge of how the world works.

It's systems thinking and if you think it's terrible then because it's terribly good at getting rid of excuses. "Oh but you see the intent of the prison system is to reduce crime, never mind it doing the opposite, move along, nothing to see because intent is all that matters".

Yes, it's a thought exercise, not a tautology. And it's not a great thought exercise either, because people of low intellect apparently assume it's a tautology because of how it's worded.

It's not a thought exercise but a modelling discipline.

Those are more or less synonymous.

I can tell you've been huffing too much philosophy because you insist on weird hair splitting like this lol

Or I'm just a boring nerd into cybernetics.
