Well do you agree with this: any fundamental ontology of any and every being-in-the-world cannot possibly be "contrary to" or "exclude" any being-in-the-world (the way one ontic side can be "contrary to" or "exclude" another ontic side), precisely because it is supposed to be an ontology of any and every being-in-the-world? If so, then in such an ontology, no ethical principle or side can possibly have ontological preference, since ethical sides are contrary to other UN-ethical sides.
