Poll question: How do you want to win?
No issue in particular, just a general survey on principles and ethics in general and how we incorporate them into what we want to see for our society and the world.

1. The means are the ends.
There is only now.

3. But if you do the wrong thing now
Does that not mean there is only wrong, there is no good?

If there is no good, what are we "fighting" for?

...in every moment. We're fighting for our best now over and over again.

2. I would like to say Lose with a clear conscience BUT...
The stakes may be so high and without using the same tactics as your enemy, that what you lose is too valuable to be concerned about the means.
