gollark: Oh, or let's say you have some kind of anxiety disorder and constantly worry that you did badness.
gollark: No, I mean that you might worry about the ethicality of everyday actions or something.
gollark: I think this would be likely to cause you to do stuff you consider possibly-bad more than someone who does *not* think about it much and just relies on ethical instincts gained from whatever.
gollark: Let's say you're a professor of moral philosophy and spend vast amounts of time wondering about the rightness of every action.
gollark: A different issue I have with it is that if you consider ethical issues in more depth, you are probably more evil than someone who doesn't.
