> the exact opposite of operationalizing
Or what Kant called "instrumental reason". Doing something not because
it's the right thing to do, but because we hope to get something out
of it. A means not an end. Paradoxically thinking that way we
commmodify (reify) ourselves (see Erich Fromm). Gotta break out of
that "what's in it for me?" mindset. Then self respect looks a bit
like great art, you'll know it when you feel it.
