I’m saying that it’s not based on the quality of most of your empirical beliefs. If I’m telling my friend that I strongly believe that politican X will do Y if elected, my ability to fight has nothing to do with taxing me if that belief is bullshit.
Fighting is fundamentally a faster version of existing interactions. At slower speed you might say it’s not violent, and call it ‘politics’. As such, the most consistent fighters win by noticing and making use of the preferred patterns in their opponents. We might call these patterns ‘bias’. In other words, fighting is won by prediction and surprise. As all cognition uses analogy, to understand coordination at a grand strategic level (like you would want in a question like this: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/47pqaDPCmzQBTFija/great-power-conflict), it is useful to understand individual coordination. As such, combat sports and street fights provide a relatively accessible training ground for models of human behavior- a value, after all, is what someone wants, and if not all of you wants to hit the other person, you will not hit the other person.
