Continuing my theory that socialism is based on people misconceiving of making a choice in terms of figuring out the best option.
Conservatives generally believe in God the holy spirit, or at least the human spirit, making choices. So for conservatives the focus in a choice is on the subjective spirit that makes the choice. Any goodness is then in the person that makes the choice.
Socialists on the other hand, believe making a choice is about figuring out the best option. So then the focus is on the result of the choice, and not on who it is that makes the choice. The goodness is then in the best chosen option, and not in the person who makes the choice.

You're surely aware that Logical Positivism crashed and burned, no? Turns out, they were just wrong (as several prominent positivists themselves admitted toward the ends of their lives). One of the reasons they were wrong is that meaning doesn't really have much to do with verifiability. A statement like "exactly four inches of rain fell on Mount Evans on June 12th, 1788, between 11:03 am and 4:17 pm local time" can't be verified, but are still meaningful. On the other hand, if you take verifiability to just be "in principle," seems awfully...prejudiced to claim that religious language could not possibly be verified--there are obviously possible worlds in which religious claims could be verified.Because however well intentioned and 'nice ' the faithful might be , that sort of reasoning is not logical / scientific , or , as the Logical Positivists pointed out , even meaningful --- there are no ways to verify such statements .
I'm struggling to understand why these two options are supposed to be mutually exclusive or opposites in any way. Look: suppose there is some kind of spirit inside us that makes a choice. OK--doesn't that spirit usually make its choice by figuring out the best option? Conversely, if someone is focused on choices as figuring out the best options, there doesn't seem to be any problem for such a person to also believe there is such a thing as a spirit making those choices.Continuing my theory that socialism is based on people misconceiving of making a choice in terms of figuring out the best option.

Making a choice = a discontinuity or non-linear response between inputs and outputs resulting in a catastrophic (see: catastrophe theory in applied mathematics) state change in the neural network that is the human brain.Continuing my theory that socialism is based on people misconceiving of making a choice in terms of figuring out the best option.
