Hmm... that is a good point but also I think we should refrain from making moral judgments on the basis of flawed understanding, too, no?

It’s all flawed understanding and shaky judgments, and inseparable from belief anyway, so I personally prefer to censor my actions very parsimoniously rather than judge my judgments. As in “he’s an asshole, but don’t do anything to cause him pain because default don’t cause pain”

It is not that people work hard to avoid truth. It is more that finding truth is just hard. You have to filter through the bullshit, grok your biases, the source of what you believe to be your knowledge, have good enough starting beliefs.
