>>87028177Any given action is an implicit assertion of value; any given value is an implicit teleology; a state of affairs that will be brought about by participation in that value.
Most people don't really think about things on that level. The scope of teleological conception is the scope of world formation; where capacity for world formation lacking, there capacity to participate in higher order values is lacking, unless prompted too by outside forces; such in turn is the scope of agency, natural nobility.
You ask them what kind of world they'd like to see and they might say something like 'world peace' or 'ending hunger'; in other words, the value and teleology it implies being a global factory farm as their ultimate object, a maximum concentration of nominally human subjects possible. Cockroach philosophy.
In phenomenological terms it basically comes down to a being's aesthetic inclinations. What forms they are attracted too; what forms they are repelled from; the steering a being has through the contours of Being - which may be more or less coherent with it.
The way i'd put it, it's your vision of greatness. When you think of great things, great achievements, great societies... what comes to mind? People with roman statue pfps posting images of monumental architecture may not have an explicitly articulated belief system, but they do have a vision of greatness. Things that can't be achieved by the current order - and thus stand in condemnation of it.
Certainly it is true, at the limit, that *any* system is necessarily exclusionary of *something*; the most damning fact of 'liberation' ideologies being that they are no exception either.
Any given action is an assertion of value; your very act to play the keyboard and put words to server - to chose such words, instead of any other possible words; to take such actions, instead of any other possible actions - a declaration to the universe that there is such a thing as better and worse, and that you, like all things, participate in it as well.
