If I apply your first statement ”everyone tends to see things they way they are” to your second statement, I get an interesting result. The conclusion that “a person who embraces a certain rational moral view would not initiate the use of force against any other individual and would neither desire nor pursue anything they haven’t earned by their own effort” is the tendency of one ”to see things the way they are”.

Almost right, except that, it is not "a certain rational moral view," as though there were more than one, but "a rational view," because, there is only one reality, and a rational moral view is based on reality. There is only one rational moral view.

Thank you for your reply! That's pretty much the reaction I was expecting.

There is only one rational moral view.

That certainly could be implied. ;-)
