We are fortunate to live in a time when people are forced to reveal their moral priorities. Everybody has been subjected to mandatory and public Asch and Milgram experiments, so that now we know exactly who can be peer pressured into asserting that 2+2=5, and who will gladly administer lethal shocks to strangers if a person in authority tells them to.

Conversely, we know who we can trust. Who cares if that number is depressingly small? It always was, only now we have that vital intelligence for the future, because the real experiments are just getting started.
