Ayn Rand. "There is no escape: men have to make choices. As long as choices exist, moral values are inescapable. As long as moral values are at stake, no moral neutrality is possible. Trying to "not judge" is already a choice - and usually one that aids evil."

Neutrality between CoreV30 and #BIP110, favors CoreV30. Likewise, neutrality between good and evil favors evil.
