I dunno, I feel like judgments of awesomeness are heavily path-dependent and vary a lot from person to person. I don’t hold out a lot of hope for the project of Coherent Extrapolated Volition, but I hold out even less for Coherent Extrapolated Awesomeness. So the vision of the future is people pushing back and forth, the chuunibyous trying to fill the world with dark magic rituals and the postmodernists wincing at their unawesome sincerity and trying to paint everything with as many layers of awesome irony as they can.
Also, from a personal perspective, I rather like quiet comfort, although I cannot really say it’s “awesome”. You can say, it doesn’t matter what I like, it only matters what’s awesome, but to hell with your fascist notions.

This is the unextrapolated awesomeness. I think we would tend to agree on much more of what is awesome if we extrapolated.

This is a serious bug. Non-exciting and comfortable can be awesome, even though the word doesn’t bring it to mind. Thanks.
