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.

That's just how you feel man :-)
How else would one pick axioms than by (broadly conceived of) aesthetics?

Who needs axioms? Do you literally have axioms? Like a 3 laws of Nickotics?

We're implicitly creating them by our choices.
People aren't super consistent, but most often arguments when arguments aren't from definitional/semantic confusion, they're from different implicit axioms which recur in all of their arguments.

This is like saying “you’re religious even if think you’re not because you’re creating an implicit god idea by your choices.”
You think that because you think actions naturally harmonize consistently. They don’t. Only a small conscious fragment does, and only if you try hard.
