Irrespective of viral infection?
Can the dots be connected in any case?
As noted, until I get a clearer understanding from you of how your own sense of bring "fragmented" is or is not in sync with my own in regard
to an issue like packing the court, I'm just not interested in what I construe to be intellectual gibberish of this sort. You began to seem coherent to me above [as I noted] but you did not sustain it.
Here again in regard to conflicting goods rooted in dasein and in political economy is how I encompass my own existential sense of being, of feeling "fractured and fragmented":
Now my point of course is that packing or not packing the court is merely part and parcel of a political prejudice that liberals and conservatives acquire existentially as the embodiment of dasein. So I can no longer embrace either point of view as "the right thing to do". At least not philosophically or ethically.
And:
So, if I were addressing a room filled with those who want this court packed with more liberals, and an equal number quite content to sustain their own 6 to 3 conservative majority, I would likely satisfy no one. Why? Because to the extent there are liberal and conservative objectivists in the audience I am challenging -- philosophically -- the very idea that one can be in sync with the "real me" in sync with the "right thing to do" here.
And in regard to all other moral and political value judgments that I construe to be just particular political prejudices derived from the existential contraption that is "I" as the embodiment of dasein.
In other words, going back to our childhood indoctrination, we are all bombarded with countless factors and variables that we neither fully control nor fully understand.
And you?
Of course, including me as well , in the set of those fractured.
But the main point can be expanded in the possible search between those fractured points that need to be enumerated, before they can be qualified as valid points.
And the examples, in fact Your primary one , of searching for the convective which belabors to fill. -the idea of the abortion issue- now become the central issue surrounding the hurried nomination of a conservative justice, shows an imperative,an essential point irrespective of the loss of ideological pre-eminence.
I hold to a position , that such a loss, may not be considered as futile and summarily irrevocable.
There remains,at least, a trace of hope.
