Necessary

It's NECESSARY!

Hym "It's NECESSARY for you to be harvested for organs so Jordan's parasitic offspring can do whatever the fuck they want. It's our RESPONSIBILITY to be forcibly converted into sustenance for and by people who have nothing but contempt for you. But don't ever murder their kids for it. Don't ever hurt them for it. That would be bad."

Necessary Counterfactuality

Counterfactual reasoning that is not just justified but essential—without it, certain questions cannot be asked or answered. Necessary Counterfactuality arises when we must imagine alternatives to understand the present or shape the future. How can we know if a policy worked without imagining what would have happened without it? How can we evaluate a leader without imagining alternatives? In online political debates, necessary counterfactuals are those we cannot avoid—they're built into the questions we're asking. The task is not to eliminate them but to handle them responsibly, with humility about their limits.

Example: "They were debating whether the stimulus had worked. The question itself required necessary counterfactuality: what would have happened without it? She acknowledged the uncertainty: 'We can't know for sure, but models suggest...' Necessary counterfactuality meant she couldn't avoid speculation, but she could be honest about its limits. Her opponent, claiming absolute certainty, was the one being dishonest."
