Yes! Principles aren't these impractical things that hinder getting things done, as I have been told on many occasions, but rather the building blocks of our true power. When we embrace principle and try to apply it consistently, we can access previously unknown levels of clarity and power.
I have noticed that a lot of conversations with my acquantainces and friends just broke down when I pointed out certain inconsistencies and insisted on principle. People may applaud living on principle while they are reading a book or watching a movie, they they seem not to like it very much in real life.
Ancaps of the world, power up on principle!!! :)
