    —“So emergent dualism? The brain produces mind as an emergent property?”—Andrew M Gilmour

    Brain integrates information and produces the consciousness spectrum, that produces mind (use of consciousness by regulating attention through recursive searching by auto-association), that produces logical facility, that produces the reason facility, that produces the language facility, that produces the calculation facility, that produces the computation facility and so on.

    I can explain consciousness just fine. We only really have understood it for a few years now, but it’s rather obvious at this point.

    There is a reason you can’t introspect upon how you move your arm and consciousness.

    Because they’re produced by the same process.

    (This doesn’t appear to be true, since groups stick with failing strategies by doubling down on them. And, conservative and liberal sentiments are genetic and invariant. What you mean is that people switch political preferences (elites) according to conditions)

  • Dualism Is Part of The Job – so Is Trifunctionalism

    Apr 6, 2020, 11:48 AM [I] am a career entrepreneurial ceo. My family has been martial throughout history. I studied war more than any subject in my childhood. I have martial and entreprenrurial sensibilities. I have come to understand men must have martial-political, and entrepreneurial-craftsmen sensibilities, and possibly religious sensitivities to be whole. To maintain a trifunctional society we must have trifunctional sensibilities: martial, legal, religious I have no problem and find no contradiction in a personal relationship and care for you and your happiness, and a paternal relationship between you and the truth. I have never held to the premise that officers should not fraternize with the enlisted and executives with staff. Instead they should never cross certain lines any more than a parent should cross certain lines. We are parents and officers first, friends and comrades second, and only on those things outside of our parent-child, officer-enlisted aristocracy-producer relationships are permissible on social terms, or we are failing at all of them. Women have a hard problem with this. Men of ability and character don’t. Men lacking maleness in their training do.

  • Packs and The Herd

    By Coach Noah Revoy, Apr 6, 2020, 5:23 PM [H]umans are either PACK orientated or HERD orientated. The HERD has a low consciousness hive mind, they are easily controlled, manipulated and spooked. The PACK is made up of highly conscious and capable individuals who choose to join the hierarchy for mutual benefit. HERDs form by “accident” when a sufficient number of herbivores gather in the same spot. Entry to the HERD is unearned. HERDs expand and multiply during good times. When trouble comes they turn on each other, abandoned the young, old, sick and weak. Thus the HERD gets thinned. PACKs form to hunt prey and to fight outsiders. To take advantage of opportunity or to deal with a threat. Entry to the PACK is earned. PACKs degenerate in the good times. They get fat and lazy. Hard times bring out the sharpness in the wolf. Struggle binds the pack together. If you are part of a PACK, then you are PACK orientated. If you are not in a PACK you are in a HERD. If you are alone, you are still in a HERD, you are just a little lost from the group, probably they left you behind. The HERD sacrifices those it leaves behind. As life gets harder we will see more men forming PACKs. Struggle brings out the wolf in men. The best men are already in PACKs, ready for the break down to signal the start of the hunt. The next best men are already looking to form or join a PACK. Will you be left behind?

  • The Limits of Love’s Conquest

    Apr 9, 2020, 11:57 AM

    —“Love is capable of conquering all in the close-knit feminine realm. All in terms of self and self-development, in terms of family, and in terms of immediate community (assuming reciprocity of that love is granted). On the larger scales love must be replaced with respect, and respect itself is much harsher in judgement than love. Both enemies and friends must be respected, perceived in alignment with their proper place, and treated accordingly.”—Alice Crawford McKinty
