If it’s any consolation, you’re likely to be a lot happier out the other side of your deconversion. When you’re half converted, it feels like there is a True Morality, but it doesn’t value anything. When you’re out the other side you’ll be a lot happier feeling that your values are enough.
Yeah, with your comment I do see the light at the end of the tunnel. What it has pointed out to me is that while I’m questioning all my values, I might as well question my value of ‘objective’ value. It should be neurologically possible to displace my value of “objective good” to “subjective good”. However, I’m not sure that it would be consistent to remain an epistemological realist after that, given my restructured values. But that would be interesting, not the end of the world.
