Sometimes it feels like American culture is running headlong at an unnecessary complexity. A lot of people on social media wishing to put forth some particular image will use $10 words to explain some kind of concept that isn’t really all that complicated. A perfect example is morality. I heard someone trying to explain “vertical moral systems” and “horizontal moral systems” and it took 5 minutes to explain everything and it was just a waste of time. There are simply three general classes of moral intelligence. The person was just taking a really long time to explain the different between low or average (vertical moral system) and high (horizontal moral system) moral intelligence If you think murder is wrong because you will get in trouble you have low moral intelligence. If you think murder is wrong because it is against the law, you have average moral intelligence. If you can’t deduce the perspective someone with high moral intelligence has regarding murder than you definitely don’t have high moral intelligence.

It’s not that I don’t know what to say to someone who acts like they don’t want to buy what I’m selling. It’s that I just don’t want to. I’m educated in psychology and many of its applications. But I don’t have any desire to use it for leverage in any one-sided and non-adversarial scenario.
