From one piece The Logic of Strategy Arguments 4 beliefs, in the piece's order there

Change does not mean longstanding rules stop working; anyone claiming they have must give a logical argument why.

Their words

The important lesson here is that change doesn’t mean that longstanding rules stop working. Of course, that outcome is possible. But to be at all convincing, you must make a logical argument as to why the rules would stop working.

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
