Q: “DOES THE INSTITUTE HOLD MORAL BIAS?”
At the institute, we work on the science of cooperation, or what in philosophy are called ethics and morality, and extended to politics, law, economics and group strategy.
– The people the institute attracts, whether fellows certainly but followers more broadly, tend to intuit morality very closely to the science, and even more so after learning that science.
– We generally vary in focus on applying the science to spheres of human life. We do not vary in understanding the science. We might vary a bit in how to apply it toward different ends given our theories of what conditions of man might be preferable for one group or another in the context of their population and competiors.
– We construct that science from the first principles of the universe (physics) layer by layer through to neuroscience, to cognitive science, to demonstrated behavior, to social, political, civilizational, and evolutionary consequences.
– And we unify the sciences in doing so using the first principles of language (universal grammar) which when stated in operational prose is the only system of measurement that is universally commensurable, scale-independent, and capable of unifying the sciences.
– We apply this system of measurement to decidability (truth), and from decidability to jurisprudence, from jurisprudence to politics, and from politics to economics and geostrategy.
– Then we propose constitutions, legislation, regulation, and policy to bring mankind closer to consistency and correspondence with the science so that we are in a state of minimum friction with one another and the laws of nature. And we modify our recommendations based upon demographic distributions of ability, and degree of institutional development.
– So, while it is common to expect we are working on philosophy instead of science. Or that we working from moral intuition to philosophy. Instead, we’re working from the science alone.
– This attracts a population of individuals whose moral intuitions least vary from the science, since it is most easily accessible to them and explains those question and solves those problems that they have observed. So it’s of greater value to them.
