"There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Right vs. wrong will be a 'you know it when you see it' case by case basis." this is something i observe people, especially intelligent people, rejecting almost out of reflex, and it bothers me more and more. reasoning from first principles and justifying each step of reasoning is fine, but it is only an exercise in making models and thinking through those models. the general terms you make up along the way are only objects of your thinking. in actual reality there are only unique, concrete circumstances. human judgement has a place, but so often people act as if it doesn't, and they act as if holding that view makes them less biased-- not biased by their own judgement, i suppose. but it doesn't, they only apply that treatment to everything... but for some things it never occurs to them. their biases are still there, hidden in their tepidness, even if they never say this or that is wrong, or because the never say this or that is wrong.
