HUMAN NEEDS: THE NARRATIVE VS THE RATIONAL VS THE SCIENTIFIC VS THE COMPUTATIONA

HUMAN NEEDS: THE NARRATIVE VS THE RATIONAL VS THE SCIENTIFIC VS THE COMPUTATIONAL
Well, you know, let’s look at this hierarchy:

1) Age: infancy > childhood > young adulthood > adulthood > maturity > elder wisdom.

2) IQ: 60’s > 70s > 80s > 90s > 100s > 110s > 120s > 130s > 140s+

3) Scale: Instinct > language > social order > economic order > political order > political order at scale.

4) Decisions: Imitative ethics > heroic ethics > rules based ethics > outcome based ethics.

5) Methods: Imitation > parables > mythology > theology > history > Philosophy(logic) > Rationalism(logic) > Empiricism(measurement) > Science(calculus) > Constructive Logic(computation).

SCIENCE:
1) all languge consists of measurements.
2) all increases in means reasoning increase precision, scope, and scale.
3) all increases in precision scope and sale require an increasein (a) cognitive burdnen (b) general knowledge (c) experience and skill.

So we require a standard of measurement, a group strategy, and a hierarchy of means of trainging intuition, or rreasoning, or calculating or computing, given the ability and age of the opulation and the scale of the problems needing calcualtin as the divisuion of perception, cognition, valuation, demand, negotiation, advocacy, and labor increase, while our knowledge ‘of the whole’ decreases rapidly until the only knowledge we have is norm, tradition, custom, law, pricing, and calculation.

So my point here is that yes the narrative is the most useful at every level of precision using every method of communciating at that degree of precision and scale.

Like wise the narrative is the most subject to suggestion, loading, framing, obscuring, fictions, fictionalisms, lying, baiting into hazard, frauds, denial, and all other forms of deception. (Which is why women and jews dominate the pseudosciences especially in the literary, historical, anthropological, psychological, social, economic, and political – anything open to empathizing bias instead of the science of systematizing.) I keep a list of the pseudoscientists and while you get the occasional nitwit european the jews dominate the field of production AND harms. It’s hard to call the women pseudoscientists because by and large it’s the literature of whining and magical thinking.

And so no, the narrative and intuitionist appealing to the instinct of the ingnorant is only the starting point – and the assumption that ‘all need this’ or ‘this is the best’ is simply false. It is just one of the tools necessary for complexity as we transform more energy per capital for our use – which is what, in the end, all human measures consist of.
