im embarrassed

it's more like, i'm embarrassed for others and it makes me want to cry and i don't really understand any of that

i don't understand much at all

something i appreciate the virtue ethics for is recognizing all the ways one can deviate from the good life

it’s not a failure of Duty or a quantitative failure, and it takes conscious intention to remain steady enough. the fact that it’s anchored to virtues is important, in a way that other contextualist readings can miss out on

for some reason i’m thinking of it as tightrope walking, like there are numerous subtle ways you can start to lose your balance and have to readjust. the chord is kept taught by being tethered to experience and to virtue. it has continuity as a project.

it falls apart as a metaphor with too much scrutiny but it captures some of the elements i’m looking for

taking a (real) sick day today

ok ok we meet in the middle, we send the rkeys and glob the did

i’ve been globbed in the marketplace of ideas
