Indeed, like a provincial value system.   One that optimizes for local interests in ignorance or indifference to interests of anyone else.   Even if the magnitude of their eigenvalue is tiny by comparison. </pre>

    <p>I think I am arguing for recognizing <i>parochial</i> 

      (qualitative) as well as <i>provincial (quantitative) </i>scoping

      errors.  <br>

    <p>This <a moz-do-not-send="true"

href="http://www.ethicsdefined.org/the-problem-with-morality/conservatives-vs-liberals/">article</a>

      is not the precise argument I am looking for, but it does

      generally reflect one that I encountered a few years ago which I

      think suggested that not only do Conservatives hold

      Authority/Ingroup/Purity *higher*  than Fairness and a very close

      2nd,3rd,4th to Harm, but that they tend to experience

      Authority/Ingroup/Purity as something more like Loyalty/Honor.  

      Both this article and the line of argument I can't precisely

      remember/find seemed to suggest that Liberals ethics were

      *simpler* than  Conservatives which I think is vaguely specious?<br>
