Acharya Prashant examines the unreliability of the internal judge that individuals use to determine what is valuable in life. He argues that this inner judge is not truly internal but is a function of fluctuating external knowledge and circumstances. Because this judge constantly modifies its opinions based on new information, its judgments lack inherent validity and stability. Relying on such a fickle entity leads to a life that is essentially a duplicate or a blueprint of past ideas rather than a fresh, spontaneous experience. The speaker emphasizes that the fear of the unknown is the primary reason people cling to this judge, seeking certainty and security in the 'known' even when it is harmful or limiting.
