Logic is the toolset that protects the mind from manipulation, propaganda, and self-deception. Natural Law requires a mind capable of identifying contradiction and fallacy.
Natural Law epistemology begins with the premise that Truth is objective, discoverable, and independent of opinion, authority, or cultural consensus. The universe is lawful, ordered, and intelligible.
Order-Followers have ultimately been personally responsible and morally culpable for every form of Slavery and every single Totalitarian regime that has ever existed upon the face of the Earth.
The ORDER-FOLLOWER always bears MORE Moral Culpability than the order-giver, because the Order-Follower is the one who actually performed the action, and in taking such action, actually brought the resultant harm into physical manifestation.
Order-Following is the pathway to every form of EVIL and CHAOS in our world. It should NEVER be seen as a “virtue” by anyone who considers themselves a moral human being.
“Just Following Orders”
“I was just following orders” is NEVER a valid excuse or “justification” for immoral, criminal behavior, and this lame attempt to abdicate personal responsibility SHOULD NEVER BE ACCEPTED as a valid excuse for such behavior.
