Morality binds and blinds. It binds us into teams … but thereby makes us go blind to objective reality.
The rider evolved to serve to the elephant.
If our goal is to understand the world, to seek a deeper understanding of the world, our general lack of moral diversity here is going to make it harder. Because when people all share values, when people all share morals, they become a team.
It's a basic fact about being human that sometimes the self seems to just melt away.
If I have a mission in life, it is to convince people that everyone is morally motivated - everyone except for psychopaths.
