Try replacing every instance of 'morality' with 'logic' (or 'epistemic normativity' more broadly). Sure, you could create a mind (of sorts) that evaluated these things differently -- that thought hypocrisy was a virtue, and that contradictions warranted belief -- but that's just to say that you can create an irrational mind.
