All ideals and values to which people dedicate themselves are reflexive; they refer back to the decisions, actions, and reflexive considerations of those who are dedicated to them. Some ideals and values refer back to what is permitted in the consciousness of those who are dedicated to the ideals and values. Repressive ideals and values forbid awareness of proscribed ideas, thoughts, perspectives, logic, and knowledge. Repressive ideals and values promote selective ignorance; bias. The purpose of repressive ideals and values is to promote a particular kind of bias through the promotion of ignorance of particular kinds. That bias is often regarded as good, the essence of righteousness. The favorable or sympathetic consideration of that which complements the chosen bias is considered as bad, the essence of evil.
