A double bind can make it seem that good = evil,
And without accepting good over evil, you are defenseless against the secret coercion of a double bind.
Since good over evil avoids contradictions such as good = evil.
Following your conscious involves using reason (being logical).
And logic is objective (not subjective) by definition.

...as long as it is reasonable.
For example, I apply the Catholic Church's logic regarding euthanasia.
