"If we say that anyone who "moralizes" must be perfect morally then we are in effect saying no one can moralize"

- Jonah Goldberg

About this Quote

In this quote, Jonah Goldberg is highlighting the flaw in the belief that only those who are ethically perfect can speak about morality. He argues that if we hold this belief, then we are essentially saying that no one can genuinely moralize due to the fact that nobody is best. This challenges the concept that just those who are morally flawless have the authority to talk about ethical problems. Goldberg is suggesting that rather of dismissing somebody's moralizing based on their imperfections, we should concentrate on the substance of their message. This quote serves as a reminder that moralizing need to not be limited to those who are considered ethically superior, however rather it should be open to all people who have something important to add to the discussion.
