    YOUR PURPOSE? LET ME TELL YOU…

    Your purpose as is the purpose of every other life form is to perpetuate your genes by the capture of differences in rates of entropy and to expend it as waste heat. That’s your purpose. You perpetuate the temporary concentration of energy as a means of producing higher returns on the concentration of energy.

    Our ability to think and remember evolved for very simple reasons: creatures that can empathize with intent, imitate, and cooperate without violating reciprocity, can, through the cooperateive concentration of energy on high returns, produce greater caloric capture than any other evolutionary solution the universe has yet discovered by trial and error.

    However, since self awareness has been a byproduct of that evolutionary innovation, and since along with that self awareness is the need to be valued by (useful to others) because otherwise we would have less incentive to cooperate and produce outsized returns – you need to find some means of surviving while at the same time either feeling not-harmful, useful if possible, and contributory if possible, and dramatically contributory if possible, because this is what status signals and fulfillment refer to.

    Most unsatisfied (unfulfilled) people are unwilling to or unable to admit their low potential, low value, low status, and low contribution and will not spend the effort to obtain mediocre returns suited to their abilities.

    hence why charity is so attractive and useful – it takes very little effort to produce outsized cooperative returns for those of even less value to others than you are.

    This chain of providing value to those less valuable to than you are is how the entire in-class, and cross-class, social, economic, political, and military hierarchy manages to function given that some of us are unfit, unattractive, have undesirable personalities, and are stupid, are from bad families, and bad groups – and some of us are fit, attractive, have desirable personalities, are intelligent and from good families and groups.

    Come to terms with your status and ability and serve those who need your service. This is why christians are so disproportionately happy and christian civilizations are so disproportionately productive: we are mercilness with producing purely empirical status signals. everyone else tries to fake them.

    There is zero difficulty ‘squaring’ human existence with physics. It’s not absurd at all. Its tediously simple. Art and Beauty are also trivial to explain. To say that knowing alone denies us the emotional rewards of loading and framing is certain. But not inexplicable.

  • Words, Beliefs, Actions, Consequential Incentives, And Consequences Of Following Those Incentives.

    a) there is a vast difference between what is said, what is believed, what is practiced, and the consequences of what is said, believed, and practiced, because of the malincentives it produces. b)if god is truth, then why lie? The evidence is that god of abraham in his three forms is evil, and all men are slaves. Is that why we must lie? c) then why use a mythos against the empirical, military and commercial aristocracy that created prosperity, instead of the fictionalist (lying) priestly aristocracy that failed their people? The pattern between the old defeat of civilizations, and the new defeat of civilizations is rather obvious in retrospect. Humans do not want truth. They resist it at every opportunity. They just want, period. And they excuse any means of obtaining their wants.

  • “It sounds to me like reduction-ism.”— (a friend) Well that’s not a criticism,

    —“It sounds to me like reduction-ism.”— (a friend) Well that’s not a criticism, since the entire universe operates on a (scarily) small set extremely simple rules (forces) that produce all of existence. All human behavior, likewise, is quite simple. It’s the vast set of justifications and deceits that we use to preserve our negotiating position that are complicated. I mean, there are what? 1000-1500 ideas in toto? There are how many narrative structures? twelve to thirty? There are how many group evolutionary strategies? Maybe six? In technology we call them ‘design patterns’ or ‘patterns’, but in science we call them physics, chemistry, biology, sentience. So in my narrative, which is the causal narrative all scientists seek, It’s called historicization – the science of history. And while in the past we used justificationary (reported) history (what people write) we have instead transformed to analysis by incentives (demonstrated actions) using economics, political economy (institutions), justificationary mythos (what people write), and Comparative civilizations (group evolutionary strategies). But there is a long lag – because the justificationism cannot imagine that all authors ever do is create moral license to pursue an opportunity that already exists.
