Morality Requires the Ability to Act Immorally

You can’t bench 225 if you’re completely morally reprehensible. ¹

There’s a classic meme that if someone gained invisibility, the first thing they’d do is go peep on the women’s locker room. It isn’t their morality that stops them from doing this today - it’s their lack of ability.

A weak person is not a moral person. Just because they don’t do something bad, doesn’t mean they wouldn’t.

This is one reason Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely. It’s just revealing the person that was already there.

The Meek shall inherit the earth because they are dangerous enough to choose peace.
