I think the first one is politically useful if it's interpreted as something like "no one is automatically dispensable".

"Interpretation" creates/is rationality or logic.

How does that square with interpretations being right or wrong? Is that not possible?

Questions of right and wrong are an entirely different arguement. In this case it is not a question of the idea being right or wrong. Its the beleif in the idea while ommiting the obvious flaws. I wouldn't try to argue that anyone writing on this site would use this idea in this way.

What do you think of "gods love is unconditional". No-one seems to have commented on this.

I think "god's love is unconditional" is wrong in exactly the same way, but LessWrong doesn't have as many theists as it does Americans.

I found that hysterical for some reason.

I giggled quite a bit at that statement too.
