There is no objectivity; no perspective external to everything from which we could be judged.

There is a relative notion of objectivity which is quite solid, however, founded in external perspectives for particular systems.

It is not possible to guarantee a system will work by pure theory. We must test the theory, expose the system to the external "real world".

The exposure to the external is the source of truth.

It is this same notion of trial by fire which allows us to say that humans, ideas, and organizations "follow incentives".

An individual human, idea, or organization is not smart enough to follow incentives rationally. But "the wages of sin is death".

So "the external" (previously associated with the objective, or at least more-objective, truth) is now associated with natural selection.

This suggests that you are not virtuous for knowing what's right, but rather, for carrying the truth better.

Truth is from outside of you, not a part of your character; I feel this goes against movie hero aesthetic.
