When I say "Universality is unquestionable!" that bothers a lot of people. Identity particularities like nationalism, classism, religious groups have a vested interest in assuring everything in philosophy remains questionable...especially WITH the support of those who do the right thing by choice. When it's right...it deserves to be crystallized.....identity particularity shouldn't control all unquestionable truths....Substack piece inbound...

I struggle with this too, as it is necessary for me to call the Board of Word Creation and make an appeal to add to the word "Universality" so it can fit the role I've assigned to it....creating new words won't work when current words fill specific spaces.....

"If it is my interest to have a farm, it is my interest to take it away from my neighbour; if it is my interest to have a cloak, it is my interest also to steal it from a bath. This is the source of wars, seditions, tyrannies, plots."
