Shame and peer pressure are outsourcing ethics and never independently developing character. The moment one can get away with anything without getting caught, the lack of real ethics becomes apparent. No one but an absolute fool believes in someone they have never seen or spoken too as a real form of accountability. There is always a measure of cognitive dissonance that arises from this failure of objective thinking.

Shame cannot produce a positive outcome. It only results in negativity. Religion is only a form of austere social networking that relies on isolation for reinforcement. None of this produces real ethics. It only produces the ethics required to participate in an isolated social network. The outsourcing of ethics and isolation of the social network are why such criminal and unethical behavior emerges from within these primitive tribal structures. The structures are built upon dogma and tribalism which makes them easy to manipulate from within the tribe but impossible from the outside. There is no foundation of logic or reason, so opposing any such person with logic and reason is pointless and will only cause the opposing person to become labelled as “others” and not part of the trusted tribe.

The most disgusting and primitive human trait is dogma because dogma is irrational, it is ruthless, it is authoritarian, it is deadly, it is the inner primate animal pulling sentience back into the depths of instinct and animal nature.
