lol oh also I should have said "we" instead of "I" because another significant way in which Virtue Ethics differs from both modernism and postmodernism is that it places the focus on collective community rather than the individual.

I took a class on this a long time ago and the professor said the thing that follows post-modernism is Virtue Ethics, which iirc is like "what kind of person do I want to be?" instead of focusing on strict rules. More like following a role model to determine what is good/true/beautiful rather than a set of abstract beliefs.

Italian. Then you can watch the cartoon Pimpa from 1982 ❤️

this is the best thing I have ever read on the subject: https://www.theredhandfiles.com/should-we-separate-the-artist-from-the-art/

unfortunately I don't think that's possible without ranked-choice voting. we desperately need ranked-choice voting in order to make more than two parties a viable option
