Everyone seeks an evolutionary strategy that increases their potential for the consumption of opportunities. They do not seek truth. Some of us seek truth because it increases our potential for the consumption of opportunities. The difference is that some opportunities are physical, some reproductive, some material, some experiential, and some intellectual, and intellectuals prefer accumulating knowledge (power) as their preferred asset. Thankfully it is cheap, but time consuming. γ
I don’t seek to convert. I seek to produce a product I can sell to people who want to increase their physical, reproductive, material, and experiential opportunities for acquisition. The intellectual reward is merely my compensation for producing that set of ideas. Hopefully a revolution comes from it. π

The Poverty Of Individualism

Consciousness
Well, what we call consciousness: that continuous change in state between perception, search(perception-memory-prediction), focus, impulse, decision, and action – serves almost entirely as ‘the search for opportunities’ for acquisition of the host of things that are valuable to us. It’s not complicated. I am not sure why consciousness is so hard to understand. It’s not. Brains are not gears. Our various charges are affected by momentum, resistance and capacitance, and continuous iteration (echoes) create persistence of perception just as much as our eyes create persistence of vision. That’s consciousness.
We seize opportunities for reward. -

The Evolution of Intelligence
EVOLUTION OF INTELLIGENCE (OUTWITTING DETERMINISM) 11 – Instrumentation(Artificial Intelligence) 10 – Language (late brain) 9 – Cooperation (Mid brain) 7 – Socialization (Early brain) 6 – Predation (Old brain) 5 – Escape (Brain Stem) 4 – Directional Movement (Nervous System) 3 – Movement (organisms) 2 – Reproduction (life – cells) 1 – Energy Conservation (we don’t have a name for this stage?)
