This segment explores the illusion of autonomy and the unreliability of judgment, arguing that individuals are not truly autonomous beings but rather products of their conditioning and internal states. It contends that evaluating others is inherently flawed as it's based on fleeting observations and the observer's own biased perception, which is also influenced by their temporary conditions. The author suggests that concepts like "knowing someone" and "good character" are myths, as identity is not fixed but is instead a constantly shifting inference reinforced by the inaccurate judgments of others. Ultimately, the text portrays social interaction and moral evaluation as a "feedback loop of false selves" and "mutual delusion", where individuals are misread and categorised by those who are themselves compromised.https://philosophics.blog/2025/04/25/unwilling-steelman-part-iv/
