Producing complex results requires exacting methods of doing so. That's why science and engineering exist.

As complexities of life increase, demands increase for producing results. Corrupters don't know that. They assume they can corrupt what they do and get the same result, if not a better result, than constructivity produces.

In fact, some corrupters are always on a quest to change social standards based on the assumption that corruption is an improvement. Reagan was on such a quest; and his followers assumed he succeeded, as they claimed to be producing "a new normal."

The concerns of corrupters cannot be clarified, because truth defeats them. Instead of admitting to themselves that that is what is happening, they are rationalizers who tell themselves that enemies are using unjustifiable means of destroying something of higher value—the value of corruption.

So corrupters promote their wares through example with a few quips for enhancement. For example, Reagan said, "if you need to explain, you are already a loser." There is an ocean of significance to that statement. One is that he assumed winning is the purpose of life. Only losers are concerned about winning, as rationality is not a process of winning but solving problems, which is a benefit to everyone. And of course, explaining is only a corruption when truth defeats corrupters, as rationality is totally dependent upon explanations.

With Reagan spearheading the charge, conservatives have been on a quest to institute a disintigration of ordered existence starting with goverment. They openly stated that their purpose was to get the government off their backs, while Reagon attacked government as one of his main concerns. He flattely stated that government is the problem. Deregulation was how Reaganites started the process of disintegrating government.

The point here is methodology. Is rationality the method of producing a social order; or should it be various forms of corruption which corrupters assume to be a higher wisdom? In other words, corrupters assume they can produce a better result through corruption than normal persons can produce through rationality applied to solving problems.

There is, of course, no explanation by corrupters how their methods of corruption are going to produce a desired result. Adding reality to any subject defeats them in showing their incompetence, stupidity and corruptness. So there are no details to their promoting process. In place of details are quips which supposedly produce magical results.

The fake virtues of corruption must come out of a black hole, because realities show the opposite. Getting from starting points (usually quips) to the marvelous results of corruption is an instantaneous, disappearing magic instead of a complex task placing demands upon science, engineering and rationality.

Do you think I am making this up? Here is a quote from someone in the Bush-II Administration:

This is in a New York Times Magazine article by writer Ron Suskind, quoting an unnamed aide to George W. Bush, October 17, 2004.

The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." ... "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."

The claim is that power mongers (in an empire) create realities by acting without judicious study of discernible reality. What would nondiscernible reality be? It would be un-evaluated chaos and conflicts that result from acting upon motives through whim. How do they get competitive products out of that? They assume products come out of nowhere, after they prevail against enemies, which is what empires do.

That means stripping definable methodology (science and engineering) out of existence takes care of everything, while enemies are blamed for the resulting chaos and conflicts. Engineering takes four years of judicious study; science takes eight.
