We must separate
Dec 2, 2019, 10:02 AM The left (feminine) wants re-wilding (mothers want monopoly control), and the right (masculine) wants continued domestication (markets). Separate, or conquer and rule, or do even worse. Separation is the most peaceful option. We must separate.

The Transition Into Gods
Dec 2, 2019, 12:05 PM by Luke Weinhagen Human development of executive function and rational agency resulted in our having more ability to exert intentional control over our environment than any other organism we have yet encountered (humans evolve to control environments). This control gives us the means to write natural law (figuratively – our exertion of control redefines the limits that are expressed by the environment in natural law). Because we could begin to write natural law, however poorly and imprecise at first, we could begin the process of domestication. The Story version: The fall of man was not the knowledge of good and evil, but life and death. When we control the environment, we change the limits. We redefine what is unfit, what will survive and what will be eliminated – what was only to be the purview of the gods. (CD: And with reason, became gods.)

Feels Good or Seems Good Doesn’t Tell You Anything.
Dec 5, 2019, 12:45 PM Feels good or seems good doesn’t tell you anything. Heroin feels really good. Consciousness gives us access to the entire temporal spectrum from the present moment to the long term, to the condition of our distant future descendants. Choosing that which is good across that spectrum means you’re human. Choosing that which feels good in the present regardless of consequences, means you’re still an animal.

Computer science appears to have made it possible for us to imagine ourselves correctly
Dec 5, 2019, 3:12 PM Computer science appears to have made it possible for us to imagine ourselves correctly: “why doesn’t it understand or “why doesn’t it know” was a common question in the first generation of computer users. Today, every generation knows it’s just a machine and needs explicit instructions on its own terms. Programming had the same effect. Databases even more so. And the current ‘pseudo-ai-tools’ have reached the point of producing design patterns “organizations that fulfill purposes”: the grammars of software whether relational database, hierarchical database, Text-Index, Bayesian (“ai”), Object, Functional, Script, Speech, Touch, Text, punc- card, or Switch. So it is far easier for our generations to understand the brain as a computational device and the mind as our introspection upon it. But it is still difficult for us to understand that we have surprisingly little agency until we develop sufficient introspection — if we can at all. The principle difference in my thought is that I see mankind as largely consisting of semi-conscious beings riding an unconscious elephant, with a very, very, few of us able to look in the mental mirror and recognize the driver…isn’t us.
