COMPLETING THE RELATIVE REVOLUTION

People had a very hard time transitioning from the selfish point of reference (geometry and justificationary truth) to the reciprocal point of reference (calculus and evolutionary epistemology) that the discourse on ‘freedom’ is likewise tapped in the selfish (static) point of reference, and that reciprocity and marginalism are lagging darwinism in adoption in the philosophical discourse (or that philosophical discourse is an unscientific prison just as theology was).

As I understand it, (because these things have become very clear to me) the problem is that philosophy is the same kind of prison that was theology. And that the lessons of the 20th century (all logic is but tautology) is not yet learned.

Once the fixed point of reference is eliminated, we have only relative frames to work with. This is the insight of calculus, darwinism, of marginalism, and of relativity – and of reciprocity.

The fixed point of reference is merely an artifact of slow relative points of change at human scale. Beyond human scale, and in large numbers, at high causal density, we must seek measurements (reciprocity, survival, equilibria, lie groups/intermediary patterns) to test relative change.

And that is just very hard for humans to learn without playing games on computers which allow us to model time at different rates.
