The statement by @vincent_spruyt addresses the issue of financial incentives potentially influencing people's willingness to listen to certain truths. This touches on the broader public issue of bias and conflicts of interest in public discourse, making it a part of public discourse.

1. Principle 1:

   I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.

   The statement does not appear to cause harm with words or actions. It raises a point about financial incentives without targeting individuals. [+1]
2. Principle 3:

   I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.

   The statement indirectly promotes understanding by highlighting a potential barrier to accepting truths, which is financial interest. However, it does not explicitly promote empathy or compassion. [+1]
3. Principle 4:

   I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.

   The statement engages in constructive dialogue by adding a perspective to the conversation about why truths might not be accepted. It does not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments. [+1]
