I guess that is what Bennett is getting at is that if you at least say that
a standard should be honoured, and, hypocritically punish others for
disregarding the standard, then you yourself will be constrained by this
same system - and we will have a working standard by dint of people having
to act as if the standard is being honoured.
Given just the two choices, I would rather live with people with no morals
but who nevertheless publicly act as if right and wrong exit and are
honoured, rather than with people who have no morals, and who publicly act
in accordance with that lack of moral.
The third choice (living with moral people who un-hypocritically act in
accord with these principles) is unfortunately not available.
