Oh no! Good angels and bad angels???? I need to get on better terms with my good angel.... Maybe I need to take her out for pie and ice cream this afternoon? 😇

The tricky thing about the Bad Angels is they can sometimes masquerade as a Good Angel. ;)

And vice versa! This mock-serious essay proposes several things: that there is not an invariable unitary conscience; that Manicheanism fails under a variety of ambiguous situations; and that moral relativism is probably the most robust general principle. Some Buddhist ideas get thrown in there as well, but I soft pedal them.
