@St_Rev I think of "flourishing" as including at a minimum all the positive concepts on the list of human universals, e.g. music, magic... -
@St_Rev also the "spend 20 minutes talking to the person and be honest with yourself" test, that works right -
@St_Rev not a goal, not a binary, something like a glimmering semi-mirage of overlapping genuine indicators on a spectrum -
@sarahdoingthing But if you think of movement toward a local optimum, there's nowhere to go further. "Flourishing" & "progress" linearize. -
@St_Rev one problem is thinking that flourishing is *good in itself* as opposed to something that makes existence less of a harm -
@St_Rev if you can scale pure good then you should, whereas scaling less bad is less clear -
@sarahdoingthing local/global problem. Huge flaw of progressivism; they feel compelled to universalize every-fucking-thing.
