Nearly all of them are committed in the name of a moral ideal. Even Joseph Stalin, the closest thing to a real-life super villain, was a former seminarian who worked selflessly for the morally superior ideal of sovietism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>Morality versus Civilization<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Laws that are based on morality are those of a medieval civilization.  Higher civilization, on the other hand, is based on principles like equality before the law, equal opportunity, tolerance for diversity, and intolerance for crime. Morality is not the basis of higher civilization. <em>It is a threat to higher civilization<\/em>.  It is a matter of logic that civilization may not advance itself through atrocities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every positive thing that morality promises, a government can deliver more reliably and fairly. An additional advantage is that every atrocity that morality justifies is illegal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Indoctrination<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Since morality cannot justify itself, indoctrination is its only entry point.  Children must be taught morality before they are old enough to defend themselves intellectually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, scientists and engineers do not need to be indoctrinated as children. Once taught the skills of rational thought, they can reach understandings of how the world works, with and without books. Science does not protect itself through atrocities. Engineering does not have enemies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Footnotes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class='footnote' id='fn-3149-1'><a href='#fnref-3149-1'>1<\/a>.<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2020\/11\/16\/us\/boy-scouts-sex-abuse-deadline-bankruptcy\/index.html\">At least 92,000 have filed sex abuse claims against the Boy Scouts<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class='footnote' id='fn-3149-2'><a href='#fnref-3149-2'>2<\/a>.<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagotribune.com\/columns\/eric-zorn\/ct-perspec-zorn-abortion-rape-heartbeat-ohio-child-argentina-20190509-story.html\">Should 11-year-old girls have to bear their rapists&#8217; babies?
