Right-Wrong

Summary
Hubbard says, “Rightness is conceived to be survival. Any action which assists survival along the maximal number of dynamics is considered to be a right action.”
But rightness exists naturally when there are no anomalies (discontinuities, inconsistencies and disharmonies). To establish rightness all one has to do is to identify anomalies and resolve them. The wrong thing to do is to ignore anomalies.
Hubbard says, “Theoretically, how right can one be? Immortal! How wrong can one be? Dead!”
Hubbard talks about the survival of self on all dynamics, instead of the survival of the dynamics themselves. There is a big difference. Hubbard’s viewpoint is based on the survival of some permanent self which is a fixation and an anomaly.
Hubbard says, “Social politeness, with its violation of the Code of Honor, is quite non-survival.”
I have added the link to the Code of Honor. This code is appropriate only when there is no fixation on self, and one is willing to sacrifice oneself to uphold the principle of oneness.
Hubbard says, “Thus, for the first time with this principle, rules of evidence and other matters in law can be established with some accuracy.”
The principle Hubbard is talking about is survival of self along the maximal number of dynamics. Since the idea of self is different from person to person, Hubbard is proposing something arbitrary, and not really a principle.

Comments
Every person is being “right” from their narrow viewpoint. A person will instinctively take right action when he is looking from a universally broad viewpoint. Therefore, the true principle of rightness is the principle of oneness.
Rightness may be achieved on a gradient when one focuses on resolving anomalies and does not ignore them.
