“It appears likely that our over-focus on codification and standardization of rules is “dumbing down” the American population. Rules and attributional judgments play to our weakness because they simplify problem solving; they only invoke thinking of the minimum standards, and do not inspire empathy or sophisticated thinking patterns. With overwhelming evidence that codification obstructs moral processing, education and professional judgment must move towards contextual thinking processes that spur imagination and broaden our viewpoint by considering a wide array of conflicting perspectives.”
