ORIGINS OF CONSCIOUSNESS

(in progress)

I am developing, by accident, a theory of the cause and content of consciousness. (And I don’t like it.)

I have emphasized the treatment of calculation and incentives in human behavior;

And my proposition is that all behavior is intuitionistic;

And that our intuitionistic calculation is merely an attempt to accumulate property-en-toto.

And that reason assists us largely in negotiation – negotiation largely expressed as justification; and that we can negotiate and justify because we can both sympathize with intention, and empathize with experiential reaction, or anticipated changes in state, then …. (More here )

And that as a consequence of negotiating we evolved planning, and the entire Propertarian system that I have attempted to capture in both philosophical and scientific terms.

In no small part because my intuition, given my genetic interests, is to defeat the use of deception in negotiation, leaving room only for truth telling.

Because at the top of the spectrum I see that regression toward the mean is inescapable without eugenic suppression.

Perhaps we explore to leave bad genes behind us, and there are no more continents to conquer.

As such we cannot leave bad genes behind and must return to the suppression of their expansion in one end, or their destruction on the other.

In the market, we can cooperate and eugenic ally suppress the inferior genes. Under redistribution we replicate inferior genes (families, classes and tribes).

The female has a harder time selecting than the male who must merely choose allies. Worse, her impulses are to select for maladaptive behavior:,impulsivity and aggressiveness. This is a pre-sentient form of reproduction. Of the major impulses that affect human cooperation aggression and intelligence, and verbal intelligence in particular are advantageous, while impulsivity is not. Impulsivity reduces preference for consideration: what we call time preference.

If left unchecked rapid rates of breeding among aggressive and impulsive people’s will defeat lower rates of reproduction among less impulsive, less aggressive people’s. And intelligence and small numbers against aggression and impulsivity in large numbers can succeed through separatism as the west has demonstrated in keeping the east at bay until the socialist era brought about by the cosmopolitans seeking safe haven, retention of separatism, and to retain their parasitism.

And so separatism, property, market, paternalism and marriage are the means by which we insure eugenic reproduction rather than the dysgenic reproduction of females.

So indo European man evolved the most rapid means of suppressing female dysgenic and produced eugenic and by doing so dragged all if human exist and out of ignorance and poverty.

The Chinese method is more direct: systemic slaughter of malcontents under the ideology of order. Our western solution is still superior because we separate moral order from social and economic order.

This is why our velocity of innovation is higher than other civilizations.

All we do is negotiate and justify. Our moral intuitions reflect our genetic strategies. We seek to negotiate on their behalf while perusing their interests.

Our emotions are merely rewards for successful negotiation on behalf of our genetic interests.

Nothing more.

As such the questions we face are calculable – all social propositions if reduced to Propertarian statements are in fact decidable.

Social science is done.
