I honestly pity you if you think having principles is a psychological trap.
Of course, the complete lack of inhibition that affords, is exactly what can make psychopaths so compelling.

> It’s starting to sound like is “yeah this isn’t pragmatic but it’s really moral.”
Principles and morality are not the same thing, so no, incorrect. I could have completely amoral principles. Morals are grounded in social consensus, principles are not.
Spend less time trying to be right and more time learning.
Of course, a complete lack of self awareness is also a common principle-free, sociopathic trait.
