Moral Dyad Simplifies Blame

People tend to mentally split disputes into a single agent who 'does' and a single patient who 'suffers', treating one side as an unfeeling perpetrator and the other as a helpless victim. That binary makes complex causal chains (e.g., individual behavior, corporate design, parental choices, regulation) feel tractable but encourages overconfident judgments. — Recognizing the moral dyad matters because litigation, regulation, and public debate (especially about tech firms and youth mental health) are being driven less by nuanced causal evidence and more by intuitive robot/baby framings.
