Quasi-Kantianism

[unnamed525.livejournal.com]

The problem is that rational, autonomous agents don't have value; they are beyond value. They are worthy of respect. In order to respect your own agency, you have to do it qua agency, otherwise, you are merely valuing yourself above all other things, since respect is not value; therefore, in order to respect yourself, you have to respect all rational, autonomous agents-qua-agency. Consequently, ethics is universal-for-agents, since ethics logically follows from self-respect; the logic of self-respect is non-standard, being, at least: modal, paraconsistent, and intuititionistic. Conflicting duties doesn't imply universal permissiveness; it only implies that one ought to do whichever action has the best probable consequences. When an intuitionistic indeterminancy is proven, one is permitted to do as one pleases. So, my ethical theory includes rights, duties, consequences, and preferences.

That's quite the performance!

Funny, I am reminded of that Bill Hicks routine:

Papyrus font is the root of all that's wrong with the world.

Bah, I don't really get the font-nazis. People always hate on comic sans too. I say live and let live!

Yeah, I get the comic sans hate... but the Papyrus hate just seems like haterade.

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

The Comic Sans hate is just because it's bad, the Papyrus hate is because it's waaaaay overused.

[the-rukh.livejournal.com]

It's kind of the opposite really. Comic sans isn't terrible but it's WAY misused. People hate it because it normally shows up in places where there's utterly no reason for it. Funeral invitations, office memos, etc. And yes, overused too.

Papyrus is not a very well made font, it has weird spacing, and is also WAY overused. Anybody who wants to get that "earthy" feel. There's other fonts! Write it yourself!

On the other hand, Papyrus isn't nearly as bad as Viner Hand. Or Ravi. Or Matura, come to that.
