The ability to use reciprocity, commons, and agency to rule out all other versions of ethics as self contradictory takes separating fact from value to another level.
Separating emotional loading from operations at that deep of a level is a super power.
Takes all the power away from ORRGSM.

SENTIENCE, AWARENESS, CONSCIOUSNESS, AGENCY, AND INTELLIGENCE : THE EVOLUTION OF MEMORY
SENTIENCE: Sense and Perceive changes in state, absent prediction and choice. Neurology not ‘memory’.
AWARENESS: Awareness of changes in bodily and environmental state because of the availability of short term memory, limited long term, little if any forecasting. Short term memory.
CONSCIOUSNESS SPECTRUM: Modeling Space, Time, and Others, including the modeling of space, time by others because of extensive Long term memory. Some degree of forecasting but limited recursive permutation (thinking).
AGENCY: Given that predictions (models) and the actions to bring them about are computed by our brains simultaneously, the ability to suppress, recursively iterate upon, and choose between, then act upon or choose not to act upon those impulses. Multiple competing forecasts, with control over selection of subject(choice of forecast) of recursion.
INTELLIGENCE
BIOLOGICAL Intelligence or “g” consists in consuming lower biological resources to obtain more relevant predictions with limited error, in shorter time. It’s a measure of ‘cable friction’ (really) – meaning lower is better. (neuronal resistance is calculated using the same formula as undersea cables.)
DEMONSTRATED Intelligence requires (a) ‘g’, (b) short term memory (working memory), (c) general knowledge, (d) concordance of wants with reality (not wanting or believing impossible or stupid things), (e) trait conscientiousness (sticking to it).
The consciousness spectrum is a function of memory – and especially memory as a ratio of body size – and all consciousness evolves from the same function: body modeling in space determined by available movement.
The sequence of states above are all names of marginal differences in state in the spectrum of cognition and as such represent a continuity of increasing recursive iterations of neuronal organization and not discreet functions.
In any self organizing, self reinforcing, neuronal system (network), each iteration (layer of abstraction) increases the prediction in time, space, and distance from perception to calculation. And tools of computation (language-communication, accumulated experience(knowledge), theory, writing, formulae, numbers, logic) allow us to use internal and external tools for increasing prediction of the time, space, object, population, with our given abilities – which across human classes, range dramatically.

Sentience, Consciousness, and Agency are three different things.

I didn’t say that trauma also can destroy normal development – just the opposite. I wasn’t and am not trying to have that discussion. My purpose is to remove the presumption that is not a developmental problem, and as such it’s not a ‘choice’.

We are. Which is nothing but an opportunity to write our names in history, and profit from it as much as the romans did by the conquest of the mediterranean and the british by the conquest of the colonies.
This is our time. Revel in it.

Bias: Output, Longitudinal, Physical, Predator, long term, male vs Input, Lateral, Experiential, Prey, Short Term, Female.
Evolution? More like, division of labor in everything: sense, perception, cognition, memory, timeframe, space, task. Male Pack herds Female and Children.

@DegenRolf May be it’s Takers’ vs Givers’ cognition. Moreover, as hetero O may inevitably require a finest level of cognitive compatibility, it may cause its gradual development too. Sounds familiar; Evolution.

Because the debt is true. Because we are masculine hunters not feminine urbanites. Because we have not devolved under urbanization (yet).

There are values to be learned from both Achilles(a King who is not yet noble) and Hector (a warrior who is noble). However, what does it say about rage, power, and forgiveness to men who would be kings?
Iliad and Odyssey are two books in what is called the Epic Cycle. The “Bible” of the ancient world. There were six others that told the other parts. The other books were much shorter And one amendment to them: the Aeneid.
THE EPIC CYCLE:
ACT I
1. Cypria – preamble and first nine years of the war.
2. Illiad – The rage of achilles
—
ACT II
3. Aetheiopis – death of achilles
4. Little Illiad – building the trojan horse
5. Iliou Persis – sack of troy
—
ACT III
6. Nostoi – Everyone but odysseus returns home
7. Odyssey – Odysseus’ journey home
8. Telogony – Odysseus gets killed
—
POSTSCRIPT
9. Aneid – The last trojan goes west. (added later).
The others are largely lost. But most of the dramas (plays) take place during these stories. And there is a lot of written commentary. So we can reconstruct them.
The Iliad is “A Story of Achilles Rage” or “The Rage of Achilles”. But Priam comes to Achilles and they settle the rage. He learns to forgive his enemies and abandon his rage.
It is a story of aristocracy becoming through respect and forgiveness. It is a lesson of how a warrior is to to become a king: Through Nobility.

Because the debt to Nature and Ancestors is true. Because we are masculine hunters not feminine urbanites. Because we have not devolved under urbanization (yet).
