6. Becoming or Evolving
- This is the error of pride in becoming good or better. No human has ever become better or good.
- Humans can perform behaviors better.
- Humans can, with practice, become good at a function, habit, or behavior. But there is no evolution of human nature.
Becoming Is a Lie
- Humans cannot make themselves become anything except through the lie of ego.
- If a human gives their identity to a self-image, then they have become that image instead of themselves.
- Giving your identity to things and thoughts is the only type of becoming that humans can do, and it is murder or death.

Stop Trying

8. Rating People
- Human ratings are always a thinking error, reifying people as negative or positive knowledge.
- Human ratings are self-ratings, other-ratings, self-esteem, self-images, self-concepts, and ego.
- Ego ratings are possible but dangerous because few are enlightened enough to keep ego ratings distinct from human ratings.
To Demonize Or Not to Demonize
- You can demonize ego to good effect, but to demonize the self is to do great harm.
- The difference is seeing the ego as negative thought-things (uprooting) versus seeing a person as negative thought-things (murdering).

For who maketh thee to differ from another?
and what hast thou that thou didst not receive?
now if thou didst receive it,
why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
—I Corinthians 4:7
I persistently practice preferring the positive.
—Kevin Everett FitzMaurice
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report;
if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise,
think on these things.
—Philippians 4:8
