Pro tip for those on a moral crusade: You can’t fight evil ideas by pointing at evil people. They don’t care.

And you can’t fight for *good* ideas without first establishing that ideas are worth fighting for, i.e., that ideas *matter*.

That only works on those who haven’t fully given up on their own minds. Anyone who has completely surrendered to emotional whim is unreachable.

Is *your* morality based on denying reason for emotional whim? Then goodbye.
