Path of Nonrighteousness

The Path of Nonrighteousness is a common thought tradition observed in Illuminatia. Devotion to the Path of Nonrighteousness involves an aversion to absolutist principles and systems of morality. This thought tradition instead cultivates systems of ethics that acknowledge moderation, fallibility, and compromise.

The Path of Nonrighteousness involves teachings that encourage adherents to avoid any and all absolutist philosophies—particularly those which relate to correctness or human conduct and philosophical purity. The thought tradition encourages moderate thinking, compromising one's actions and thoughts based upon the difficult contradictions of human nature and imperfect reality, thoughtful rumination upon one's strong preferences and personal etiquettes, and acknowledging and embracing the fallibility of humans, all that humanity has created, as well as the complicated interactions of the natural world.

Scientists who practice the Path of Nonrighteousness often are the first to acknowledge that experiments in the natural world never result in a perfect result with absolute reliability. For instance, in chemistry, scientists devoted to this thought tradition will note that chemical reactions generally don't take place with 100% efficiency.

The Path of Nonrighteousness is moderately to highly compatible with many other thought traditions practiced in Illuminatia.
