I don’t get the distinction you’re making between living an examined life vs., say, lukeprog’s no nonsense meta-ethics. Yet you make some statements which don’t quite match lukeprog’s approach. I think it might come down to the distinction you make between “from the inside” vs. “from the outside”.
“It’s connected, unfortunately, to the consciousness stuff, the stuff about “qualia” and “what it’s like to be something”; stuff about the territory, the world, making a map of itself, “knowing” itself, “being aware of itself,” even as it surges forward, with the map making a difference, the maps mapping each other and themselves, eyes looking back at each other, the world becoming spirit, brute matter becoming “awake.”
I don’t see what this “inside” vs “outside” perspective has to do with consciousness.
