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.

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.

Are you able to reduce his axioms to a fundamental set of 5 or even 50? I bet not. Humans aren’t axiomatic. We hold hundreds of fragmented belief islands, each based on a few situational rather than axiomatic beliefs. Hedgehog-mind is an illusory map on top of a fox territory.

We agree that's there's lot of islands, etc. (I am an SFI fan after all) But I actually think I could reduce it to about 50 to get 80% predictability on his views a priori. Most people have pretty low Kolmogorov Complexity and are decently consistent.
