This is another philosophy inspired post. Continue at your own peril.
In the OSR community the saying 'Rulings over Rules' is quite popular. The idea is that rather than making rule systems that cover as many situations as possible, whoever is running the game should just make a ruling on how the current situation is best resolved.
I have heard several arguments made against this idea:
A brief exercise in in-universe writing: An excerpt from the fictional textbook "Paths of Wisdom: an introduction to the magcial arts".

I studied philosophy at university and am currently a philosophy teacher at a high school. So, obviously I think philosophy is rad. However, if teaching to a bunch of kids who didn't get to choose my course has taught me anything, it is that philosophy isn't for everyone. That said, practical philosophy is usually (wrongly) considered to be the most interesting and approachable kind. So even if you aren't into philosophy, maybe give this a read?
Anyway, let's overthink make-believe games from the perspective of moral and ethical philosophy (yes, there is a difference. Just stick around until the end if you're interested in it).
