Itâs always better for a view to be justified than to be unjustified? (Makes it more likely to be true, more likely to be what you would accept on further /â idealized reflection, etc.)
The vast majority of worldviews do not warrant our assent. Worldview diversification is a way of dealing with the sense that there is more than one that is plausibly well-justified, and warrants our taking it âinto accountâ in our prioritization decisions. But there should not be any temptation to extend this to every possible worldview. (At the limit: some are outright bad or evil. More moderately: others simply have very little going for them, and would not be worth the opportunity costs.)
This just seems like youâre taking on one specific worldview and holding every other worldview up to it to see how it compares.
Of course this is an inherent problem with worldview diversification, how to define what counts as a worldview and how to choose between them.
But still intuitively if your meta-wolrdview screens out the vast majority of real life views that seems undesirable. The meta-worldview that coherency matters is impotant but should be balanced with other meta worldviews, such as that what matters is how many people hold a worldview, or how much harmony it creates
