The problem is that figuring things out for yourself takes a lot of work. It’s far easier to take someone else’s pre-built moral framework. If you have the spare energy maybe you’ll question the pre-built moral framework and thus diverge from it. (Or if the framework is insane in some important way as many moral frameworks have been throughout time —consider “Why can’t I own a Canadian”) People who can’t or don’t want to put in the effort follow all the rules. Thoughtful people figure out the rules they think are important to follow and how to live safely while ignoring the dumb ones.
