Viewing the world through a good versus evil framework impairs cognitive ability and hinders the objective study of complex issues.

“moralism is if you look at things in a framework not of true versus false but of right versus wrong bad versus good once you put on that frame tyler cowan has a quote somewhere in a ted talk he says we think in stories but as soon as you put a good evil story as soon as you interpret things in terms”

Excessive moralization is dangerous because it often justifies violence and makes objectively judging situations difficult.

“the world has far too much morality by which i meant far too much moralization alluding to the fact that history's greatest bloodbaths were not caused by greedy vdk is feathering their own nest accumulating palaces and harems uh they were moralistic crusades”
