There is an ever shifting melting pot of morals which are being hashed out in the marketplace of ideas. In a free marketplace the best ideas would rise to the top. But when ideas are advance through coercion and deceit some pretty bad ideas wrongly have their day at the top. Nevertheless, truth can only be suppressed for so long and eventually, but more slowly, the obstacles to good ideas of morality no longer stop good ideas from being advanced. Each one of us adds to or subtracts from the pot, and I believe when we compromise our greater good, by for instance telling a white lie to advance a political position, then the flavor of the whole pot is corrupted, i.e. a little yeast leavens the whole loaf. Fortunately a little salt counteracts yeast. On this earth the bread will always be both leavened and salted but that will not always be the way it will be.
