Meh. You include, in your defense of inconsistency, no safeguarding measures against the common curse of all costs of general inconsistency falling upon those who are more expedient to redirect costs to, such as being least popular, or most miscategorized, or most outright ontologically erased. Doesn’t it seem like there would be good reasons not to diagnose you with probably being a lot of people’s accidentally evil stepmothers in other lives, given how much you say you care about being reasonable?
For me, reasonability is a serious claim, and the differences between being incapable of being reasoned with versus being capable of being reasoned with, and between being able to be held accountable to that as a connotation of reasonability versus choosing to be unreasonable to some people for reasons that your peer group have agreed are good enough for permitting cheap-to-prevent (and fully unnecessary) torture or squalor, are big differences to be narcissistic about, not small ones.
