Individualism refers to a philosophical disposition, moral, or normative bias. But it licenses the Left. The original meaning is legal, and universal, across european history: Sovereignty – method of juridical decidability. Westerners are Sovereigntarians.

The state generates conflcit for ATTENTION which gets them POWER.

WHAT DO PEOPLE MEAN BY TRUST IN THEIR GOVERNMENT
In the political context, when people are expressing in their government, it only refers to three factors (a) the framing of the debate by the media, academy, state complex, (b) the orderliness or at least comprehensibility of the patterns of speech and (c) the current levels of anxiety for the future.
In other words, the academy, state, media, create demand by generation of conflict, just as diversity of race, ethnicity, and class generates conflict, just as ideological competition creates conflict. The state generates conflcit for ATTENTION which gets them POWER.

Propertarianism. Rule of Law by the Natural Law of Reciprocity. The only possible source of sovereignty, liberty, and freedom: reciprocal insurance of everyone’s demonstrated interests (property) by every man able bodied man, producing sufficient commons to deny all alternatives.

Supernaturalism
A category of animism, under which phenomena are attributed to utility(disutility), benefit(harm), or intent(will), rather than natural (equilibrating) necessity by that which is not subject to the constraints of realism (physical existence) and naturalism (deterministic processes), and empiricism (observation and measurement), and therefore testimony (truthful speech).
I could work on it a bit but I think that’s both sides of it.

Morality = Reciprocity. And it has to be. Moral norms are members of a portfolio (network) that may be reciprocal or not. Moral intuitions vary by the individual’s reproductive balance of reciprocity vs proportionality in the given set of moral norms. So whenever speaking of ‘morality’ which thing are you talking about? Ideal knowable (reciprocity). Ideal unknowable (anything not immoral and therefore irreciprocal is moral. What we mean is, what’s good? Not what’s moral?) Moral Norm (evolved market for prohibitions), Moral intuition (your bias given your reproductive and survival demands) – in other words, your tolerance for proportionality. Curt Doolittle

—“What do you mean when you use the word “mindfulness”?”— Andrew Cordeaux @AndrewCordeaux
1) I mean the physical, cognitive and emotional discipline to control the subject of attention on the present intent, insulated from distractions whether personal, environmental, or interpersonal. 2) But with preference for the stoic method (self authoring, virtues of action), the epicurean objective (within one’s control), testimonial (scientific) knowledge, the play (ritual), and team sport, festival, and feast (celebration). 3) The buddhist method, originally practical and insular evolved into semi-mystical, and survived the attack by monotheistic abrahamism, where the western schools that were practical and action oriented, were destroyed by design by the Abrahamic conquest and dark age. 4) East asian ritual, and Hindu ‘way of life’ survived as well. Each of these methods of physical, mental and emotional discipline reflects local demand given local degree of agency during the period of transformation. (although buddhism was imposed on japan unfortunately). 5) So I use ‘mindfulness’ in the sense that all groups sought to meet demands for some technique of achieving mindfulness of their eras by slightly different means. Since buddhism developed the most direct analysis of the objective, the terminology evolved into a universal. 6) But as in all things, the stoic method, epicurean objective, and scientific(empirical) paradigm, and pursuit of agency(dominance) rather than withdrawal (submission), reflect the european rather than african, semitic, hindu, east asian metaphysics: realism, naturalism, agency.
