CONSIOUSNESS
AFAIK consciousness will emerge out of necessity as the number of neurons (or microcolums) increases by sufficient numbers that the complexity of permutations of predictions requires attention as an index of state, maintaining commensurability from which to iterate.

I suspect that makes sense to you. I work out of loyalty to my people, not their company, and I don’t care about the IQ distribution other than that the room-temperature IQ crowd overburdened with testosterone makes saving them impossible.

“What’s the difference between training Stoicism and providing education in Folk Religions?”
Stoicism can be practiced as a ritual of self-transformation toward specific goals. It is just organized cognitive behavioral therapy and there is no substitute for it. It provides mindfulness. Folk religions are social. pagan martial, and Christianity is a political religion The stoic method is simply a rational discipline of cognitive-behavioral therapy (and an action-driven alternative to the passive woo woo of Buddhism), and is the most effective and scientific method of self-authoring. The Epicurean philosophy is the least divergent from the physical nature and evolutionary laws, and it advocates a lifestyle that is optimum for the vast majority. The primary difference in application is that stoicism seeks to insulate you from status signal, status pressure, and conflict, and epicureanism seeks to provide you means of avoiding it and tolerating what little you do experience. So we see stoicism for the analytic personality that tolerates conflict and epicureanism for the empathic personality that seeks to avoid it. Realistically these are the optimum personal philosophies, just as hero, ancestor, and nature thanks (worship) is the optimum religion. So if you study the sciences, history, learn to practice the stoic methodology, live an epicurean life, you are pretty much living the optimum human existence because you are least divergent from the constraints of the universe.

3. This is the opposite of jewish, christian, and islamic Rabbi/Mullah government which by MATERNAL instinct seeks to maintain control of others, rather than produce agency that produces innovation, adaptation, and continuous improvement of the material universe of man.

2. This helps explain that western civlization is engineered to produce agency, and increase the number of competent rulers, so that the division of the labor of rule can be increased and the burden of each citizen decreased.

1. –“There are only trade offs”–
I would and Scalia would say that questions are either decidable, choosable, or neither. If a ‘trade-off’ exists, it’s choosable and a matter for the people and the legislature – creating anti-fragility – rather than a matter for the judiciary.

That which does not kill you only serves to make you stronger. Coming after leaders confirms that they are leaders.
