Things That Aren't Securities Fraud
The finance writer Matt Levine likes to say that everything is securities fraud: that is, if someone has done something to make a company's stock price go down, there will be an enterprising lawyer somewhere who will be able to spin it as a securities fraud case on that basis that the company should've disclosed it quicker, or should've disclosed the conditions that led to it quicker, or whatever. Whatever happens, they will find a way to turn securities law into a bludgeon to wield.
It reminded me of how, in the distant past, I had excluded from spaces under my control or influence people I had adjudged to be sufficiently objectionable on the basis of their opinions or positions. However, on reflection afterward, I realised that the real reason I excluded them is that those people were dickheads. People who are so bigoted that you feel the need to exclude them from something will almost certainly be dickheads too, but in these cases I think I was avoiding taking on the personal responsibility of saying "I don't like you; go away". That feels like quite a big thing, a harsh judgement and an exercise of power. Instead, if you have an impersonal system to refer your judgement back to, you don't have to worry: it's not me, it's just the rules.
Sasha Chapin has observed that one the key tenets of Marie Kondo Thought is that you should trust your own internal authority more. Determining what "sparks joy" is about feeling your feelings, trusting your feelings and acting on your feelings. The first bit can be tricky, the second a struggle, the third a real challenge. It can feel temporarily relieving to outsource some of the responsibility to something else, but ultimately that's just going to lead to your trust in your own judgement being eroded. The appeal of appeal to outside frameworks is profound, but you know what: you can just tell someone to screw off, if you want.
