Moral objectivism is good for people not able to or who don’t care to wade through a meaning crisis into a more empty morality. So they find solace in rigidity. https://t.co/FapA5txwwX

They can maintain their cope. For others, rigidity doesn’t provide their hearts the warmth they need. So they go looking. They’ll find a world of norm explorers and tinkerers ready to tinker with them.

and the funny thing then is... when weirdos find each other, and do things that other weirdos find cool, next thing you know... now other people think it's cool, too by helping yourself, and by helping your friends, you rewrite reality. https://t.co/Za8jDQ3ohL

There is no nobility in wading into meaning crises you have neither the interest in, nor the tools to effectively respond to. Copes are what people use in the 90% of life, so they can focus on the 10% they care about.

Morality vs (aesth)ethics https://t.co/Ex3dQlxcTy

yatharth ༺༒༻@AskYatharth• over 4 years ago

Ethics is more discriminating because it can be. It’s an individual thing. It’s not trying to, and could not historically do the same thing as morality, and we can’t hold it against morality the constraints its working with.

coming to see “morality as aesthetics,” “morality as objective,” as just different spins we apply on morality, some of which align better with our psychologies than others, neither particularly “true”—they just are what they are, as stances https://t.co/PRvbrPAWin

though some encourage more looseness with the truth than others https://t.co/PAuiSrCJ9a

@reddy2go i defend people’s rights to an ugly cope but if it causes them to tighten their grip on truth more than loosen i have a small preference their cope be a more beautiful one https://t.co/rIkV5Mndpi

this is actually touching the felt senses and letting them update naturally (as they always ever do, unless subdued and strangled by higher conceptual points of overrides) https://t.co/vT9R3jD09x

yatharth ༺༒༻@AskYatharth• about 4 years ago

you have to “touch” the part of you that is currently there so it can evolve and become into the next one recursive (fashion) felt-sensing https://t.co/N4yHIprbFb
