People keep telling me I only deal in absolutes, and that it’s unhealthy and I should sometimes find the middle-ground between two different positions. (I.e. caring for myself vs others, putting all my energy on a task vs not even bothering)

So what’s the procedure to finding a middle-ground so I can apply it to literally everything in my life, as the Autistic Gods demand? \s

    Yeah, this was a little tounge in cheek, but the general way to work with ethics is that you use the complex stuff to develop general rules to follow (or virtues to uphold if you want a more vibes based approach).

    Obviously, there will be edge cases, and then you have to work out if it’s worth your time to solve from first principles or just eyeball it and hope for the best.
