1. Believe truth
James: "these … are two materially different laws; and by choosing
between them we may end up coloring differently our whole intellectual
life." (P 101a)
1 without 2: gullible
An analogy (political support):
If p is true, believe p.
2. Shun error
If p is false, don't believe p.
2 without 1: skeptical
If P wins, financially support P.
If P loses, don't financially support P.
