Watch for moral licensing patterns where practicing a value
Watch for moral licensing patterns where practicing a value intensely in one domain gives you implicit permission to relax that value in another, as credits earned in one context are unconsciously spent in others.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Automaticity Without Conscious Control (automatic processes operate without awareness), The strength of association between a stimulus and response (temporal delay weakens association), and Dopamine neurons fire when a reward is anticipated based on (dopamine signals prediction, not reward). This identifies a specific cross-domain pattern that undermines value consistency.
