I am presenting an idea in an upcoming book that I call moral bias. Moral bias is when a moral ideal seems to obvious, so worthwhile, so necessary, that all objectivity is lost. The path to success is so obvious and necessary that any sense goes right out the window. The damage done on the …

Check YOUR Premises: About Reason Itself
Objectivists, Check YOUR Premises I find I really can’t get anywhere with Objectivists. Ever. My one and only hope (outside of them hitting rock bottom and finally being open to new ideas) is to ask them to check their premises—about reason itself.

An Abuse-Free World is Worth Fighting For
An Abuse-Free World is Worth Fighting For I am actually starting to get good at standing up to abuse. I have a system. I see it as if the abuser is a deceiving magician. They have their bag of tricks. I call out their bag of tricks. When they triangulate me, I say as much. …

It’s not in their past trauma, it’s not in “unconsciousness.” It’s in their moral paradigm. They feel good about their abuse. They think it’s the right thing to do: that they are enacting something positive. And Objectivism …
