CLARIFICATION ON OUR ‘FAILURE’ TO EVOLVE TRUTH

—“Curt, you’re wrong about the reason for the failure. It’s not an inability. It’s economics. Traditional / moral justification of behavior is massively cheaper (“computationally less expensive” for monkey brains) than thorough consideration (and due diligence) of all present options.

It’s much easier to discount only “usual” paths of action in line with one’s ancestral moral biases (that lead to the same kind of outcomes one has always been able to expect) than to consider “unusual” paths with SCARY UNFORESEEN CONSEQUENCES.”— John Jost

No, I get it. What I am saying that we failed to do is recognize the transition between human scale and intuitionistic cost, and post-human scale and critical costs.

In other words, when we hit post-human scale in the industrial revolution, we obtained the benefits without paying the cost of increasing our truth tests from the intuitionistic and justificationary to the procedural and critical.

But that’s a great way to put it. thx.
