What I notice is that the vast majority of people – all but a minority – can’t compartmentalize self from evidence. And are completely unaware that they aren’t really thinking very often, and almost always appealing to intuition.

The secret to buddhist mindfulness is simply to train yourself to control attention by practicing feedback loops. It’s basically the same as learning to ride a bicycle except harder because it’s harder to control the feedback loop of attention. Breathing is the easiest way.

@TruthQuest11 @Nationalist7346 also… fyi: the brain is programmed (organized) by what its nerves are attached to in harmony with what the neural columns are next to. Temporal activity is just conscious focus. The hippocampal region organizes and calculates relative geometric positions into a model & episode.

An experiment. Quiet. Close Eyes. Relax. Breathe. Focus on your heart beat. If distracted, then start over. Now recall how that feels: your state. Then start counting heartbeats until you’ve left that feeling behind: your state. How many? And what measurement did you just make?

I think …. well … you know, the whole p-program can be considered an extension of the economic revolution of accounting for the seen and unseen.
So disambiguation by serialization and operationalization, creating a universal value-neutral logic (vocabulary, logic, and paradigm) of human behavior that is consistent, correspondent, with physical laws. Creating universal commensurability across all fields. Enabling fully accounting regardless of fields. These are just methods of full accounting of the seen and unseen. Methods of increasing the SCALE of the cognitive model of humans to correspond to the scale of human knowledge – and human cooperation (or non).
Throughout history man – at least western man – has sought to satisfy his sense of wonder, by increasing the scale of the model and the consistency and coherence of the model.
And the problem has been that most civilizations cannot tolerate the truth of the physical, natural, and evolutionary laws – because they are unkind to the peasantry, where the peasantry was the source of income (taxation) during the agrarian revolution.
So that there is a continuous struggle between the demand to rise in affluence and agency and the productivity of the underclasses that resist it and drag down the civilization into a stasis because it’s against their interests. The only solution of course is matching reproductive fertily to match technological demands.
This means furthermore that in a world where peasants are no longer needed to fight or no longer needed to farm, or even no longer needed to produce, that they have no function.
So that the long term goal of any people that wish to pass the great filter must be one that allows civilization wide adaptation with minimum resistance.
RIGHT-WING CRITICISM OF THE DAY #2
(I’m desperately trying to say this within FB guidelines)
The Right? Cowardly, Conflict-Avoiding, Permission-Seeking, Authority-Needing, Right-Wingers. They’re Perfect Christians. Great peasants. Great soldiers. And hyper-moral. The world’s best lower, working, and middle class and secret to western success: the west has the only high trust, meritocratic, commons-producing, laboring, working, and middle class in the world.
But they’re the worst possible revolutionaries. Totally incapable of self-defense. Totally incapable without having daddy’s hand hold them. Because they’re so independent they are unable to organize without daddy.
What’s most ironic is their absurd identity predicated on self-defense by a population that cannot distinguish between the need for individual self-defense and collective self-defense of their individual interests.
Everyone in every faction, whether universalist christian, civic nationalist, constitutionalist, eurocentic nationalist, or national socialist acts like the ball is theirs and everyone ought to play on their terms or they’ll go home. Well? Everyone DOES go home. Worse, no one even shows up except for the cognitively and emotionally challenged. So the game isn’t played, and the left wins by default.
The right is a constituency of children. White Privilege (advantage) is an inheritance produced by their ancestors – not them. And they squander it like rich kids squander theirs. Because solving the great problems of our age, which can only be solved with the escalation of the conflict to the point of causing political settlement, is someone else’s responsibility. And the left is doing it on their terms and achieving their ends.
Except there aren’t other ‘someones’.
Despicable really.
Pathetic.
Worse.

4) At present, trait-(dis)agreeablness determines tolerances (genetics). 5) But all tolerance for these conditions has a half-life. 6) If the duration continues more than another 12-18 months,then entertainment will never recover. Neither will education or commercial real estate.

Correct. 1) at some point the people will, in fact, prefer opening the economy. 2) esp. because the vector is NARROW: elder care, health care industries, to home transmission, spread thru entertainment(gatherings), 3) and limiting isolation therein, and criminalization can work. https://twitter.com/td2411/status/1321218209744326656
