Seize the means of production

Not to be confused with "Seize the means of reproduction," to seize the means of production means to go after, and/or get what you want after some work. Usually if your doing something big in your life, or in general.

Go get that shit!

You: After college, I can't wait found my company that's inspired Microsoft, named Megahard.
Best friend: Aww man that's a great idea! Seize the means of production my man!

The End Justifies the Means Bias

A cognitive bias where one automatically accepts or excuses problematic methods, processes, or actions because the stated goal is perceived as good, necessary, or noble—without adequately weighing the costs, consequences, or alternatives. Unlike the philosophical position that ends can sometimes justify means under careful consideration, this bias operates automatically and asymmetrically: good intentions become automatic warrants for otherwise unacceptable actions. It's the bias behind "we had to destroy the village to save it," "surveillance is justified because it keeps us safe," and "yes, CECOT is harsh, but it's fighting gangs." The bias lies in treating ends as automatic justifications rather than as one factor requiring careful balancing with means, consequences, and alternatives.

The End Justifies the Means Bias Example: "He supported the prison's brutality because it was 'fighting crime'—pure End Justifies the Means Bias, treating a good intention as automatic warrant for any method, without ever weighing whether the methods actually worked or what they cost."
