- My essay Four Social Worlds 🕵️♂️🌳💍📈, is about how it feels to be very aware of your meaning nuggets (in the section "Realm of Appreciation") compared to being aware of your social visions (in the "Realm of Expectations"). These things feel very different!

(Elsewhere I use other terms: I call meaning nuggets "values", and call social visions "ideological commitments", "norms to promote", or just "expectations".)
- (*) They are called ideals in Anderson 1993, although she also uses several other terms. The term virtue has a long tradition, from Aristotle to MacIntyre. (I avoid that term because virtue is, in current usage, usually conceived of as high-minded and morally significant, and my use here is comparatively practical, and not necessarily moral.) Charles Taylor's terms of strong evaluation is closer to my meaning, but doesn't roll off the tongue. Velleman, Chang, and Putnam all seem to sometimes use the term value roughly as I do.
