what amor fati, in nietzche's expression of it, seems to preclude, is the decrying of injustice. can be seen here in his new years resolution. and that is a problem.

finding an honest way to look at the past and affirming it is a source of resilience, identity, and gratitude. it's a great good to be invulnerable in one's love of life.
theres a concern that one will care less about shaping the future. yet courage to try can come from the confidence to fail.

je ne suis jamais d'accord avec elle, pourtant c'est dommage (et inquiétant) qu'exprimer autre chose que du mépris pour les articles de callard demande un certain courage ces jours-ci

small is not so bad -- imo for social networks there is certainly such a thing as too big, most networks far exceed the optimal size.

Acts for Aristotle are not good unless they emerge out of and/or contribute to the development of virtuous
dispositions.
But the dispositions are no good if they are not enacted. Suppressed virtue is no good either. The virtuous comatose agent is not leading a good life.

thats quite different from the philosophical accounts of internality presented by, say, frankfurt and jaworksa. there its all about the agent's subjective states. on their views, the appraiser's conception of the good is totally beside the point. not so here, tho. thanks for sharing.

the 'good true self' stuff is cool. the fact that we are disposed to attribute those actions *we* deem good as internal to the agent, and the bad ones as external, suggests that when we assess internality we do so with reference to a conception of the good and the good life.

can be tough to tell who fades through and through and who will rise again once they fit the styles, values, and concerns of the day. anecdotally, i hear much more affection for bergson than the others. strikes me that many care for him, but it isn't so easy to square him into contemporary debates.

it also transforms people. i see a lot of people who feel pressure to have a take. worried they'll be guilty by omission, that their silence is unjust.

questions for mole and for us:
1. Are Weil/Murdoch+ right that the common exalted region of attention between study ^ morality is vindicated by exclusion? Exclusion of ego/clinging specifically?
2. Is this the right/only strategy for vindicating the moral quality of cultivating attentiveness?

for murdoch the common salience structure between the two is one that is excluded: "the fat relentless ego".
for weil the excluded salience structures are those that demand of, latch onto the world. (quote below)
answer for both lies in what study and moral attentiveness exclude, not share (4/4)

question that follows: what is the common salience structure between studying calculus and the correct moral orientation towards the world, such that exposure to patterns in calculus (tho not necessarily consc. noticing) would make one better at noticing moral patterns? (3/4)

prior exposure to regularities in a 'region' of attention (he calls em 'salience structures') will make new patterns/stimuli in those structures more salient. this is, he proposes, a vindication of the Weil/Mudorch+ emphasis on the value of attention as found in prayer, study of mathematics. (2/4)
