I'm thinking of writing a story and I need some help. I've been around the board for a while now, mainly in Shared Worlds and Chat, but I haven't done anything remotely resembling a timeline yet and I'd very much like to. The focus would be heavily on the writing and story and seriously downplay the AH side of things-- I don't see myself writing a proper timeline, rather a story that just happens to take place in an world where things went a little bit different-- but I'd still like for there to be an identified POD.
So here: I'm looking for a POD (preferably in the field of philosophy, though I guess that's not a necessity) that strengthens the influence of Moral Realism and weakens or disappears Moral Nihilism. If that POD also happens to alter the Existentialist heyday in France, that's just gravy. I'd really like for it to be as recent as possible and to have the smallest amount of butterflies/unintended consequences (not easy, I know.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated
