Fair. So what kind of ideals do you work towards?
I tend to be wary of ideals. They're often just the stick which evolution uses to goad you into doing stuff. I believe in virtue and morality, but again see these as largely evolved drives, but in Kantian fashion, their reality in my head are too strong to ignore. At present I'm not working toward much of anything. I do like to think about interesting questions, and that seems to be the limit of my more earthly drives. That, and watching football.
