A blog post about mastodon, hometown and my philosophy around hometown social networking.
Thanks to @comeetie for the visualisation. Hat tip to @darius for the aforementioned fork. Hope you don't mind me using a screen grab of our convo, @helvick.

@ewisniowski @philosophy Yes, it was.
If existentialism is basically the precept that you start out from the fact of personal existence rather than the fact of physical essence, then your focus is on how humans encounter their world and make choices in their situation rather than how they are causally determined by physics events.
Heidegger has this exact focus, and arguably existentialism is just the moral consequences arising from this analysis.

@sotirisrex After long reflection, I have come to the conclusion that morality is not a numbers game. Killing is worse than letting die. Utilitarianism can be used to justify anything as long as some abstract final condition can be met.
The survival/best interests of the species can be used to justify almost any evil.
Eva7 abortion providers are ready to switch to misoprostol-only medication abortions if a judge bans the main abortion pill, mifepristone, nationwide. That ruling could happen as soon as this Friday.
Pretty much everything that Team "you're overreacting" insisted would never happen after Dobbs is, in fact, happening. It's almost as if they were not arguing in good faith this whole time.
