(public diary)
If you’ve been following me for at least a year or so you probably can see where this work is all headed now.
It was much harder for me to figure out how to talk about these things in simple terms than it was to solve the initial problem. I understood, very early, that the missing ethical property of complex cooperation was calculability. I understood what was wrong with praxeology, and ethics. I understood how to connect biological and evolutionary necessity with calculability and calculation. I understood reproduction but not the importance of the family as an organizational structure.
But to tie it all together in language that was at least somewhat accessible was extremely difficult. Because unfortunately, I don’t really think in words. It’s somewhere between logic and programming. So I have to write, write, write, over and over again, until I get it right. And by right I mean “compact” and therefore accessible to others.
I wish I could sleep more often this well, because I’m so productive when I do. My productivity is almost entirely dependent on the volume of sleep I get. Today is a productive day.
