Well, sure, if you wish to convince yourself that I am “comfortable” being down in a hole that revolves around a moral narrative that revolves around a belief that human interactions in the is/ought world revolve around an essentially absurd and meaningless world that ends for all of eternity in oblivion for “I”, then, well, okay, I doubt I will ever convince you otherwise.
But that still doesn’t apprise me of how you are not down in it yourself when your own value judgments come into conflict with others.
Either regarding the manner in which I construe the meaning of dasein, the meaning of conflicting goods or the meaning of political economy. Out in a particular context that we might all be familiar with.
You yourself either are able to sustain some level of comfort and consolation embodying the “real me” in sync with one or another moral narrative/political agenda or you’re not.
Instead, we get something stuffed down into the murky middle:
Because there are people who believe there are no objective values who move on from there, even thrive, have goals. There are a couple here.
Okay, then describe an actual context for us and note how for all practicl purposes this actually works. Give us some examples of how you moved on. Sure, folks can take a “leap of faith” to one or another “political prejudice” and think themselves into believing this need be as far as they go.
But how is this not also embedded in the manner in which I construe the meaning of dasein here: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=176529
And what happens when you come upon those who reject your own leap of faith in favor of one of their own? Or when they do embrace one or another objective morality? How are you not confronted with either might makes right or moderation, negotiation and compromised behaviors.
Again, illustrate your text here. Show us how your frame of mind allows you to “thrive” in the midst of a world where moral conflagrations are still everywhere.
Instead [as always] it’s back up into the realm of the “general description”.
If one makes oneself the brave victim and stay at the realization one does not believe in objective morals, refuse, then, to act in the world, grapple at others and feel superior when they neither 1) drop into the hole or 2) move forward without considering it a hole, the only pleasure left is to posit oneself as superior. Which is a lot easier than trying to do or make something one values, even if one does not consider it objectively good.
What on earth am I to make of this?
Note to others:
If this makes sense to you please cite some examples relating to your own life or the lives of others that you know. Examples which clearly note how one can “thrive” socially, politically and economically while escaping the hole I’m in and the manner in which I construe the meaning of dasein insofar as you acquire your value judgments.
In other words, inside an existential contraption as opposed to being derived from a philosophical examination of conflicting goods.
