  • DEFINE “YOU” If I put your ashes in an urn, is that you? If I put your dead body

    DEFINE “YOU”

    If I put your ashes in an urn, is that you?

    If I put your dead body in a casket is that you?

    If I read your written words, isthat you?

    whenever you use the word ‘is’ you are engaged in a self or other deception, because it means “i don’t know how this exists”. When you use the word ‘you’ as referencing the physical body, or ‘you’ as the potential interaction of mind and body, or ‘you’ as the acting interaction between mind and body…. which are you asking?

    Because ‘is’ and ‘you’ questions aren’t philosophical questions, their grammatical errors positioned as a pretense of philosophical sophisms.

    I consist of the consequences of the continuous operation of my body, and in particular my brain.

    the written word consist only of potential experience until

    a mind puts it into motion by reading it. the body consists of biomass until a brain causes it to move. A brain consists of reactive nerves, until the that experence we call mind emerges from the continuous persistence of states.

    Just as we cannot observe the frames of video, we cannot observe the cycles of changes in state of the mind, and so we ‘average them’ through the persistence of stimuli across cycles.

    We do have a sense of self awareness that functions pre-cognitively, and can best be understood as that moment you awake in the dark and are unaware of your circumstances.

    It is this awareness of changes in state and like and dislikes that is ‘I’? Well, that is governed by genes. Is that ‘I’? Or am ‘i’ the combination of those genetic biases, that very simple state monitor, or at the other end, am ‘I’ that combination of body and memory in motion that you experience as a set of contsant relations ‘me?’.

    To the mentally ill person ‘i’ consists of a body in its current state. To the observer ‘i’ consists of a set of patterns of behavior given the experiences. To others (norm, law), ‘i’ consists of the rights and obligations to the host body.

    etc.

  • Could You Outline The Differences Between Marxism And Communism?

    Technically speaking,

    1) communism consists of equidistribution of goods, services, and labor by purely voluntary means. Communism is achieved through socialism.

    2) socialism is the stage under which the state (priests) centralizes all production, distribution, and trade (cooperation), until it is no longer necessary (heaven) and people merely consume what they need and produce what they need, because they are finally of good character for some reason (they are in heaven).

    Socialism destroys private property, the capacity to produce incentives, and the capacity to produce prices, and as such the ability to organize invention, production, distribution, and trade – and worse it’s dysgenic.

    Social democracy evolved when we understood that it was not possible to control production distribution and trade, but instead, for the state to maximize takings to the point where people continued to work. Economists have tried to calculate this number forever, but they believe in a homogenous population it might be between 50% and 70%. (I think that’s dependent upon a very ignorant populace with very extraordinary wealth that is only possible in periods of global circumstances that allow windfalls (like postwar western civ). ).

    Classical liberalism evolved when we understood that we were wealthy enough due to increasing trade, to prevent the rent seeking of the landed nobility, and to institutionalize the church’s traditional responsibilities by centralizing taxation rather than splitting taxes between the church and the state.

    Anarchism evolved when we understood that other than rule of law, and constitutional monarchy, all roads lead to despotism, corruption, and poverty.

    What we didn’t expect was that it would lead to our genocide.

    SPECTRUM:
    Communism – no property -no possibility

    Socialism – no property – virtual slavery- and centralization of production of commons.

    Social democracy – property but no retention of profits – and central production of commons.

    Classical liberalism – property and retention of profits and very limited central production of commons .

    Anarchism = property and retention of profits but no commons, and no state – an impossibility.

    As far as I know, reciprocity (productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary transfer, free of imposition of costs upon the investments of others by externality) cannot be undesirable, wrong, unethical, or immoral. That which is not wrong, is right. (via-negativa logic).

  • Wrongs Exist. Right Is That Which Is Not Wrong.

    —“If might makes right, does right really exist?”– As far as I know, reciprocity (productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary transfer, free of imposition of costs upon the investments of others by externality) cannot be undesirable, wrong, unethical, or immoral. That which is not wrong, is right. (via-negativa logic).
