I don't think the adage" judge not, lest ye be judged" was a commandment, but a warning. similar to, do not talking about the speck in another's eye before removing the plank from your own.

I think we must judge, as it is wired into us. But realize when it comes to others, we should do it from a place of knowing full well what it is we judge because we recognize ourselves in the face of that judgment.

One of my reasons for being against masks, besides them not working, is you do not want me as an advocate for masks. Because, I have a list. The mask at the end of that list will go from a minor inconvenience to a realization that most if not all can wear it consistently effectively, and even if they could, they still would not work.

I am not going to defend or advocate for Ayn Rand, but for the most part I agree with you.
