Life gets much more interesting when you calibrate yourself on both scales. You can see others more clearly. Calibrate their actual moral courage during mask-slip moments. Then discount their public moral postures accordingly. It’s not hard. You just need mask-slip data.

It’s actually easier than reading the gap between performed and actual intelligence because intelligence is higher dimensional and more context-sensitive than moral courage. Good vs bad is simpler than smart vs dumb.

2x2 with you at the center: x: morally weaker.stronger, y: dumber/smarter. Morally stronger but intellectual dumber is the hardest relationship to process. You can neither lead nor follow.

Interesting. Then will one also pretend to buy another’s public moral posture in the hope of signalling your own moral courage to be stronger than it is?
