I am beginning to *really* dislike appeals-to-better-nature rhetoric of the "do better" and "become good" variety. If you can't work with people within the 3-sigma natural range of moral variety, you're almost certainly going to do harm overall trying to work with them at all.

And the later posture is a perpetual performance of preemptive disapointment through feigned disillusion who's virtue lies in its moral fluidity?
