Yes, well I’m a little more conscious than all but a few, if any, just how much we are all bots running on evolutionary software that is extremely simple. So I would argue and I would be correct, that anything psychological or metaphsyical is just another excuse to justify what already exists regardless of one’s feelings, intuitions, opinions or arguments.

Instead, it’s more that people have been lied to. So perhaps the metaphysical is a useful defense against such lies. Of course, In my work, I struggled to make such lies impossible without being subject to prosecution by those with the ‘correct’ instinct and intuition – and as far as I know I have done it.

I realize I don’t need feels. I realize that there is a spectrum of brain organizations from the empathic to the systemic and from the feels to the reals, and a condition of each person from vulnerable to confident. And that together this generates demand for mysticism, theology, philosophy, evidence, science, or formal laws.

I don’t begrudge the little people their feels so to speak if they do not mandate their necessity, expect my and mine’s conformity, and instead leave those of us in the systemic and reals and formal laws to do the hard work of conscious beings that discover opportunities and inventions that turn the universe into a choice to manipulate by the rest of mankind according to their will.
