"Thus, rather than sublimate human agency to a standard of casual optimality, individuals must continue to navigate the world in pursuit of their own visions of human flourishing, attempting to do good, while plagued at every instant by limited information, limited control, and limited assurance of success for their chosen projects. They must recognize that no standard of normative ethics, however persuasively theorized, can eliminate the fundamental obligation to independently evaluate the variety of reasons that exist for choosing and acting at any given moment and, indeed, to be ready at any moment to generate reasons for choosing and acting that are uniquely their own.
No decision-making rubric can permit the individual to ventriloquize morality."
- Douglas Kysar, Regulating from Nowhere, p. 14
