The disgust response is a rather silly foundation for a world view. It’s like a life lived as one long eeewwwwwwwwww…
But approximately 75% of world views are founded on exactly that

Isn't everything just post hoc justifications of one's life path dependant aesthetics?
Disgust, anger, etc. qualia are where all value / axiomatic choices really come from.

I wrote an essay last fall about my time in animal rights, natural wellness, growing up evangelical, and QAnon. This bit about disgust still holds up imo wisetendersnob.medium.com/this-secret-me

You're coming from a relatively high degree of trait openness (which is the antithesis of disgust). At least that's what I've deduced from my limited exposure to you. You experience the world entirely differently from those who have low trait openness. Disgust is real to them.
