Questions and answers
What is Amplianism?
Amplianism (Amplianismo in Portuguese): widen who can fail, tell, and try again.
A philosophy that understands any place, from a home to a country, through one question: when something goes wrong, who pays? Where the bill always falls on those who did not decide, no one tells the error and no one tries again.
If telling the error costs too much, no one tells. If failing costs everything, no one tries.
Is it the same as Arminianism?
No. Amplianism learns from every philosophy and asks just one question, which anyone can ask tomorrow: when something goes wrong, who pays?
Who created it?
Heitor Castro. Heitor Castro is a Brazilian entrepreneur and investor with more than a decade of experience, active in more than ten industries, with investments in Silicon Valley, California.
What are the laws?
First law: whoever pays decides who speaks. If telling costs too much, no one tells.
Second law: whoever pays decides who tries. If failing costs everything, no one tries.
What is the rule?
No one above error, no one below a fresh start.
Whoever decides pays first; whoever does the work can tell and try again without being ruined.
