even when i didn't explicitly endorse it (and sometimes i did, to some components at least), it was an operating principle of mine. and i would react very coldly to critiques, but characteristically just by avoidantly turning away to other thoughts instead of rejecting the rejection
which is also where nietzsche comes in, and he largely played a similar destructive role on similar methodological points
pragmatism and linguistic philosophy and nonmoral ethicists are just not what i want or need right now. i won't run away from their influence but it's all so tiring and my engagement with it was self-destructive
