Matt Welch: Journalists Abandoning Objectivity for "Moral Clarity" Really Just Want to Call People Immoral

Well, they probably most want to call them racist...

Anyway, yeah.

This whole "moral clarity" fad is stupid as hell, as is the anti-objectivity fad.

As is the truth not objectivity fad.

Saying that we want truth rather objectivity is rather like saying that I want money rather than a good career. In each case the latter is normally the best means to the former. Numbnut.

Moral clarity isn't analogous to objectivity. they're different kinds of things. One's a kind of outcome, one's a method.

And I suppose "moral clarity" would be nice. But, again, what the lefties pushing that really want is a thin pseudophilosophical cover story for spewing their ideology at every turn. Which includes, of course: calling people racist. 

Moral clarity is only genuinely valuable when you first have justified moral views. But by clarity they really mean certainty. But in this case, that's just a euphemism for dogmatism.

Anyway, how do we go about getting justified moral beliefs?

Anybody? Anybody?
