Basic neural economy. Our norms, habits, and status quo, help us create sufficient predictability to know how to act for minimum cost and max returns. Forcing all that recalculation (uncertainty) is asking people to pay a very high cost.

It’s more that “We only accept the cost of change when the cost of not changing is far worse than changing.”

All ideas evolve by the same process. We are no different. Other than it’s much harder to tolerate us than it was darwin, or galileo, or aristotle, or socrates, because we are at the ‘end point’ of the sciences, completing and unifying the sciences: our own biases. https://t.co/JDsy67u6KH

Personally, I have slain so many of my own sacred cows via intellectual honesty that I’m desperately looking for a one to hold onto, like a child who’s lost all his toys. 😉
It’s painful sometimes. lol
I love women for example.
Didn’t wanna know the truth.

Democracy is the reward for high trust, and high trust the result of the military’s success at creating rule of law. The necessary dependence chain of the luxury of participatory government is a nationalist army, rule of law, professional bureaucracy, and a large middle class.

You know the adage “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all others?” Well, colonization was the worst form of local modernization, except for all others. And Anglo Saxon empires, were the worst form of world modernization, except for all others.

The false dichotomy between Science and Logic: the function of science is to incrementally discover the first principles of the universe, the combination of which can be used as an operational (existential) instead of verbal (analogistic) logic of falsification of all claims.
