TWO MODES OF TRANSCENDENCE? BUT BOTH REQUIRE TRUTH.

(worth repeating)

I think that we are still half animal and have not yet transcended into fully human. because our genes do bias us.

One of the competing theories I’m working with is that we function as a collective at all times, and that our diversity of abilities allows us both specialize in an intertemporal division of perception, cognition, knowledge, labor, and advocacy, and to adapt to the changing universe around us. And that our cognitive biases are a useful means of specialization.

If this is true then we need only now how we err, not know the truth, since the truth so to speak is a product of social interaction assuming we can obtain truthfulness (the best information possible) from others.

So we have two possible axis of evolution: equality or specialization. And given the difference between the genders and the difference in our abilities I am rapidly converting from the individual to the social.

In both axis we must learn how to speak truthfully. However for all practical purposes we will always be superior as a collective for the purpose of collective ascertainment of truth. It s simply a matter of computational power and specialization.
