No it’s focused on completing the constitution of natural law such that the incremental suppression of the spectrum of corruption can evolve faster and stronger than the creativity of those who seek to benefit from corruption (free riding, parasitism, predation, decadence etc). The law and courts and standing in court produce a market for the suppression of corruption.

Well, I mean, scientifically speaking, that set of mammalian instincts and surviving memory processes that constitute what we metaphorically and pre-scientifically call a ‘soul’ is in fact existential in the individual. So perhaps I don’t grasp what you mean.

I didn’t take it as criticism but as opportunity. 😉 Thanks for the opportunity. 😉

–“We’re done talking philosophy, now it’s time for action”–
Well, I would argue the problem for the right as well as the left is Overdeterminism of religion (right supernatural, left pseuoscientific), bad if not entirely childish philosophy (feminine destructive left, masculine constrictive right), but worse a near total lack of understanding and knowledge of the distribution of human abilities, nature, and competence; A total ignorance of what made us successful vs others; a total ignorance of engineering society via-negativa by law and institutions. In other words childish simplicity.
The reason the right fails is the same the left fails. A failure to propose operational means of running a polity to prevent assymetry of returns between the masculine capitalizing (conservative) and the feminine hyperconsuming (progressive).
The right is as dumb, ignorant, impulsive, and childish as the left. It’s just that the right is correct in diagnosis of those problems of decadence and hyperconsumption the left finds pleasure in.
As for modes of thinking, operations (engineering) human behavior such that we maximize the suppression of the consumptive and the expansion of capitalization.
Science and operationalism tell us only what is true independent of our want or preference. What is good and within our want or preference will forever be the domain of philosophy and rational choice.
The problem then is the false attribution of wisdom to philosophy instead of theology and mythology, the attribution of truth instead of preference and good to philosophy and reason, and the attribution of truth to empirical and correlative science instead of as true as we can testify to at present, when the only truth we can ever know in total is causality (operationalism), which is, at least at the scale of elements comprehensible, even if at present the quantum background and what if anything lies beneath it are beyond our present capacity observe and measure.

—“I’d be happy to hear this from someone who’s publish some sort of substantial treatise on our current predicament from both a first principles and systems theory perspective.”—
Hmm… we’re 800 pages in and only 3/4 of the way finished with the volume (Volume 1 – The crisis of the age).
The problem with your question is causal density on one hand (the total scope of collapse) of which we’ve documented something nearing 100 that are converging.
That said the underlying causes is human nature in the absence of sufficient legal boundaries to prevent the evasion of responsibility, degradation of transparency, and collapse of enforceability. And the underlying cause – the first principle – is the the vacillating equilibrium between the masculine reproductive strategy of capitalizing constraint and order(behavioral costs) necessary to produce the surplus that makes a prosperous civilization possible under the constrained vision of man, provokes the feminine reproductive strategy of hyperconsumption, presumption of the unconstrained vision of mankind, the cost evasion, and irresponsibility that lead to consumption of accumulated behavioral capital.
And this sinusoidal problem is endemic in history. And it begins with (a) academics, public intellectuals, and politicians, and spreads to (b) bureaucracy and the overproduction of parasitic pseudo-elites.
The only way to stop it of course is law and education, court and punishment. Even then it’s going to persist within tolerated limits.

I’m not sure which is more tediously indecisive. This cat that can’t decide whether inside or out, or a significant other that can’t decide on which restaurant for dinner.
Look, it’s not that complicated. Because it’s not that meaningful. 😉 Flip a coin for goodness sake. 😉
Better not to give them the option. boot the cat out the door. Just tell the significant other where you’re going. Save yourself hours and hours of wasted time over the years. 😉

–“that intelligence is an emergent property of matter”–
@sama
More correctly, of evolutionary computation within the combinatorial limits of matter’s capacity to organize to store and eventually predict possibilities for additional seizure of energy (negative entropy).
Well, you know, it’s better that Sam and Crew get there than not. But yes I’ve been far ahead of this particular curve. And they are still having developmental issues by not mirroring the cognitive structure of the brain, and having these accidental insights instead, and being surprised by what is rather obvious (at least to this particular epistemologist).
