    🆕 While self-isolating, I hope to complete some key parts of the _Meaningness_ book. Highest priority seems the chapter on “the complete stance,” which is the central point of the whole. First new page in that chapter:https://meaningness.com/complete-stance-obstacles …

        Contemplating the possibility of death in the short term—always present, but more likely now—has changed my writing priorities. Better to polish and publish short conclusory bits than to continue work on large works that consist mainly of preliminary conceptual explanations.

        oh hey I just realized you're probably a lot more immediately concerned about the whole "no one is being trained to man the ship so we're all going to die" idea now than six months ago huh

        Okay just read it and it's fantastic! Excited that others will get to read this page as part of their initial experience with Meaningness (though, perhaps the elusive maybe-it's-coming-later nature of the complete stance is part of what drew me in so hard 😆)

        Where do you see irony fitting here? I see it as useful shorthand for aspects of the complete stance. Maybe not quite the narrow sense laid out by Rorty, but the broader sense of absurdity-tinged double awareness. (Some colloquial uses of "irony" connote nihilism, but not all.)
