Just did a write up here. How convenient.

I like your point about being afraid/ashamed to do something and the two cases in general and with regard to drinking as a social lubricant.

I'll post my drinking experience over there too, though I don't have too much to say.

Not the most formal sources, but at least it'll be entertaining :)

Haha, ok

It seems that you don't want to think about this now. If you end up thinking about it in the future, let me know - I'd love to hear your thoughts!

How convenient. I thought about it a bit more after all. I actually still like my initial idea of virtues being instrumental values. I commented on the link you sent me, but a lot of my comment is similar to what I commented here yesterday...

I actually still like my initial idea of virtues being instrumental values.

As a consequentialist, that's how I'm inclined to think of it too. But I think it's important to remember that non-consequentialists actually think of virtues as having intrinsic value. Of being virtuous.
