the downside is, ofc, that too much of this limits one's ability to respond to new situations; cognitive flexibility is critical when encountering heretofore unknown challenges, ones which the traditional and trusted ways are not equipped to handle.
the upside to this approach is that "deviants", ie those that differ from various norms in some way, do in fact tend to be more likely to be dangerous in some way; tribalism and conservatism are powerful tools for avoiding danger, and we feel them strongly bc they kept us alive
the object level issue aside, this is a great example of mainstream social norms rely heavily on the disgust reflex as an intuitive arbiter of morality, and people who suppress theirs are treated as fundamentally suspicious; good reasons for this, but it can lead to bad places

been replaying Hades on the PS4 and I'm really appreciating again how the the characters in the game get you to appreciate the value of persistence, of encouragement and so on. And not like in a simplistic way. For eg, Orpheus first shows up, …

you have a responsibility to keep the chain going, rather than hoarding your precious hours for hedonic gain; the ultimate conclusion of individualism is the epitome of selfishness. you owe the universe.
this is your regularly scheduled reminder that unless you have a truly extenuating set of circumstances, by choosing to not reproduce you're willingly terminating an unbroken chain of life & disrespecting every single one of your ancestors' struggles & hopes for their descendents

personally, I don't intend on having my existence be constrained by the natural limits of my fragile meat mecha; I've got too much to learn, too many projects to execute, too many questions to ponder, too much art to create.
I'm planning on showing up to the future; are you?
the future holds much for our civilization, both in terms of beauty & suffering; you can't have one w/o the other, no matter how hard you try. what we can do tho, is to change the exchange rate w/ technology, requiring less pain to unlock more happiness.
