Unethical Amnesia Decay High (fogged recall after 14 days) Negative affective reinforcement makes the mind actively decay episodic recall of wrongdoing.
Moral Self-Regard Drift +42% inflated Ego artificially maintains high virtue score while ignoring transgression magnitude.
Active Conscience Vector Outward deflection via advantageous comparison Minimization via juxtaposition with more heinous violations.
