"I’m not a moralist. I’m a pragmatist operating at a level of long-term vision and ruthlessness that is difficult for most people to wrap their minds around (and perhaps impossible for you). I don’t give a shit about “right thought” as long as I can elicit the behaviors I want, and I believe “right thought” usually follows changes in behavior as a rationalization rather than causally preceding them." - Eric S. Raymond, comment to own article
