act accordingly, by adhering to the principles that are gained from our experience (all kinds of experience) and applied and tested and adjusted, according to the full set of wisdom and knowledge that we may seek and acquire.

And what should we do in those instances that call for the application of wisdom and knowlege that we have chosen not to seek and acquire?

Or to read your question another way, we are morally committed to be hungry for wisdom and knowledge, and discern in humility rather than pride. (Rich man' "objectivism.")

One doesn't need to worry about acheiving an altered state of total objectivity, before acting. That is like religious mysticism. Instead we are to be subject to the truth, as we may ascertain it. (All truth is God's truth.)
