There exist only so many human intuitions. There exist only so many archetypes to illustrate them. There are only so many changes in state (up/down), in so many conditions that we call plots. There are only so many narrative points of view. There are only so many consistent means of discourse in and about the universe (real, ideal, magical, supernatural). But there are endless historical present and possible conditions under which we can apply them to. And a few innovations in human knowledge and complexity that, such that in every era, we can ‘write slow philosophy’ using the story, play, and novel, that restate those fundamentals in the current context, helping us understand past present and future. Now, some of us are principally empathic (feminine cognition), some of us principally systematizing (male cognitino) and most of us are in between. So we produce fantasy, fiction, literature, biography, history, philosophy, law, science, and mathematics according to our principal and tangential means of information acquisition. So society reflects conditions, entertainment responsd to conditions, and fantasy, fiction, literature history and philosophy express, explain, and evaluate, those conditions.

Teaching is a talent
Teaching is a talent, with a tiny bit of craftsmanship. You can’t teach a talent. You’ve got the talent or you don’t. Too many don’t. Teaching consists almost entirely of the Grammars (means of comparing, reasoning, calculating with different smantics (terms) and operators (operations) in complete sentences (transactions),) and history (evidence, data). Answering synthetic questions when a teaching requires life experience, and knowledge of multiple grammars, and human history. Ergo, the only people suitable for answering questions are grandparents. The only defense against undermining intergenerational transfer of debt obligations (culture) is teachers who are grandparents. I wouldn’t let anyone teach anything above fourth grade that hadn’t had life experience in productive endeavors (no govt, ppl for ex.). Too much stupid out there. Too much ignorant out there. Too much GSRRM out there. THere is no reason we don’t teach mindfulness, ethics, the law, accounting, and micro economics, and social economy, history, and geogrpahy other than to undermine our civilizatoin by producing ignorant post-religoius

Truth About Human Beings
Oct 24, 2019, 8:20 PM People are rational actors acting in their rational self interests, that observe the minimum conformance to rule, procedure, norm, tradition, regulation, legislation, and law, necessary to preserve their status in the social order. Period. End of Story. Good luck falsifying it. People are not good, ethical, or moral. They are amoral. They discover what is in their self interest within the environmental limits and congratulate themselves for the content of their character (self image). This is the empirical evidence from all people in all cultures, in all countries, in all civilizations, across all of history. The civilization of man was performed by the incremental provision of incentives to find self congratulation in minimum accomodation of the various systems of rules, by the incremental evolution of law, norm, and custom to suppress as many opportunities for bad, unethical, immoral, conduct as affordable by the polity, and where incentives are possible to construct. Hence the necessity of sheriffs and policemen and populations increased in anonymity. We must govern amoral humans because all are amoral. Ergo we must govern pessimistically so that we continuously evolve the suppression of irreciprocity (the bad, unethical, immoral) as quickly as we evolve new methods of bad, unethical and immoral behavior. Optimism is why progressive governments fail. Edit
