A well-crafted article presents research, fact after fact, in a compelling order—only to end in moralization, transforming it into a fable.
Sometimes, I invert every value judgment, reaching opposite conclusions from the same facts. The ease of this reversal exposes a deeper issue: we accept logical structures (formulaic chains) without applying counter-logic.
We crave belief, not reason, using facts as rhetorical tools rather than as paths to truth. The facts seldom dictate the conclusions; they merely serve as a pretext for moralization.
