Yes! This, this, this. Moralizing is the opposite of problem-solving. Assuming is the opposite of understanding.

When combined you get a fundamental metaproblem that:

1. You can't solve a problem you don't understand.

2. Moralizing is more satisfying than understanding.

3. This is a problem, which can't be solved if people choose to moralize instead of understanding.




When the means become the end things start to go bad. When one's ego becomes the goal then Moralizing is more satisfying than understanding.
