(FB 1548174235 Timestamp) THE HURDLE WE MUST OVERCOME You see, you think people have agency. That the rider dominates the elephant. But I undrestand very clearly, that developing agency depends on the biological ability to do so, the market demand to do so, and the discipline to do so. So I see the elephant as a very simple machine, and the rider (consciousness) as a tool with which the elephant identifies opportunities, negotiates cooperation and executes conflict. In other words I see all we think and do as JUSTIFYING the elephant. And that very,very few of us are fully human and able to transcend the elephant. And that propertarianism is a means, like stoicism, like mathematics, of transcending the elephant – or rather COMPLETING THE TRANSCENDENCE OF MAN. It is only really becoming clear to me that the time I spent on artificial intelligence – realizing that at the time it was a dead end – is the enormous advantage that I have over my philosophical contemporaries. And it is the reason that Searle and Hayek have been so ‘right’, and why I hope to make people understand that Turing, Chomsky’s application of turing, Popper and the operationalists were so close. All learning is continuous recursion. Epistemology and neurology are the same subject.

(FB 1548445730 Timestamp) “Q: CURT: DEFINE MINDFULNESS?” —“Could you please explain what “mindfulness” means in practice?”—Richard Hall In current vernacular, in psychology, the personality trait ‘neuroticism’ refers to tendency for anxiety, fear, moodiness, worry, envy, frustration, jealousy, and loneliness. In the current vernacular in cognitive science, psychosis and solipsism and ‘sensitivity’ refer to the feminine bias of inability to insulate self from perception. (Opposite of the masculine bias: analytic, aspie, autistic.) Use of ritual, repetition, regularity, familiarity, training whether physical verbal mental or situational – which today we call ‘cognitive behavioral therapy’ trains the mind to retain context rather than be continuously interrupted by inputs – particularly social inputs. The origin of organize ritual religion is the use of social and individual, prayer (christianity), movement (islam/christianity), cognitive ritual (buddhism), ritual( east asian), and discrete roles and responsibilities (hindu), to provide mindfulness. Of the methods that are most beneficial and least harmful ita ppears that stoicism (self authoring) is the optimum method of achieving this through life planning, since it depends upop precisely zero falsehoods, and CBT is use only therapeutically. Ergo History (myth), Biography (heroes), Festival (feast/holiday), Education (church), Oath (Ritual), Stoicism (self authoring), and cognitive behavioral therapy (repair), constitute the non-false equivalent of religion (for simple people) for the modern world (those of us no longer simple). To do so this program requires relative homogeneity of a polity.
