the dog @elaine.dog · 13/08/2026"mostly clever justifications for what's just selfish behavior with obvious negative social consequences" yeah that's right 110

the dog @elaine.dog · 12/07/2026whenever i start trusting arxiv a lil too much i just google "collatz conjecture proof arxiv" to humble myself 000
the dog @elaine.dog · 11/07/2026be gracious to yourself when you think it is appropriate, and seek forgiveness from those you deem to have wronged when appropriate. I think this is enough, to the extent enough is relative to literally nothing, and not to some nonexistent objective moral standard 011
the dog @elaine.dog · 11/07/2026ultimately i just have a moral intuition, and it is up to me whether it holds in any one case or another, and this is no more true than anyone else's 110
the dog @elaine.dog · 11/07/2026i've always been a larper wrt to this one thing. the only times i've submitted myself to just considering things "good or bad" for the sake of "living religion", it was something entirely besides myself, on top of myself, and forced. it crumbled as soon as I had to face a single moral dilemma. 110
the dog @elaine.dog · 11/07/2026not a coincidence that the response by me as a religious person was to just roll my eyes at such examination, mostly because I didn't really have a good response, beyond "i'll live it out and make do as i do", which isn't a _religious_ perspective, but one that recognizes the problems with "sin" 110
the dog @elaine.dog · 11/07/2026A "rule" is too strict here, because, we as finite beings can only ever dig into finite subsets of all possible ethical situations or contexts. So-called "dilemmas" and "puzzles" point us to specific, notable ones, but in the details there will always be something to stump us. 120
the dog @elaine.dog · 11/07/2026there is a sense in which most of us have a moral conscience, and, i think this is normal. we all do. but, I don't consider it a inviolable, pristine, or even sufficiently normative concept... it is there, and we do right by it, and it helps us... but edge cases will always exist. 110

the dog @elaine.dog · 09/07/2026and for the record, that's the point. this isn't a defense of a conservative's understanding of morality. It's precisely that it's sort of indefensible that I can't internalize it, even though it seems inevitable that I have to, to be religious in an integrative, social, or even coherent sense. 020
the dog @elaine.dog · 09/07/2026And it's not like i can go to religious resources to fix this, because they are almost always conservative, and when not, appeal to extra-religious justification, which does not make me feel any better! it just vindicates the way I feel, an impostor to faith, a pretender, someone self-deluded 120
the dog @elaine.dog · 09/07/2026Look, you can "deconstruct" a conservative's understanding of morality, but platitudes about how they are "subtly inconsistent" or whatever is not going to assuage the cognitive dissonance I feel, which that mindset precisely avoids by default. 120
the dog @elaine.dog · 09/07/2026it's easy to point at the things that everyone agrees are bad, as sin. but as soon as you add something "regressive", or "reactionary", or "uncomfortable", suddenly its a point of debate. 120
the dog @elaine.dog · 09/07/2026i don't really believe in sin. it's kinda funny my religious anxiety is not with internalized shame over supposed sins, but with wanting to feel like I actually believe in sin, since that seems to be so crucial to this whole Christianity thing, when i really dont. second-order, more comfortable, ig 340
