@DesireNoDesires I think it's naive to believe that everyone knows what's right. Lawyers make lots of money proving that's false every day. And lots of people live long, full lives without ever knowing that you don't agree with their belief system. I'm attempting to create a universal morality that can be rolled out onto the web, from there every philosophy and culture can compare itself to the standard. It's a self healing algorithm that seeks to be improved using only empirical data to determine compliance. Would love any criticism.

@TimTuolomne nice analysis, I've never heard that about the free market. a truly free market is anarchy. I'd say we have a liberal but controlled market, taxes are extracted at the end of a gun. Taxes could be seen as an impediment to freedom in exchange for protection from predation. What if the government is more predatory than the market? How do we address that? It's more expensive to be moral than legal.

@govols The universal is the fact that we now have the technology to save or kill everyone on earth, that wasn't even comprehensible before nukes and the internet.

The problem is liberalism.

@govols I get it, that's how my brain works, put in practice, it's pretty cool, you see patterns of behavior that you wouldn't notice. Thank you for the time invested, it's a paradigm shift. Now we have variables for trust and happiness, not just money. People can be mapped like stars with mass and luminosity in terms of money and happiness. Politicians won't like this math. My big idea is to create a trust market for companies, it will normalize the stock market, avoid the nasty swings. What got me started is the fact that we are living through the most radical mass hysteria in world history, I wanted to understand why people believe things that are obviously false if examined. What I found is that people refuse to look at what challenges their closely held beliefs. No one wants to discover that what they hold sacred either can't be proven or is wrong. Politics is the most obvious field of study.

The problem is liberalism.

@wolfhnd, "The liberal will claim that collective responsibility is the basis for their morality. This claim I hope I have shown has serious flaws" The conservative is responsible for preserving life, the liberal for making more. Peak conservative is self defense against mortal threat. The collective is irrelevant in that moral equation. Peak liberal is dying by giving all to another to live. The individual is irrelvant in that moral equation. They are synergistic, we as a species need both. The slippery slope ends in death for both. The trick is that without a conservative basis, the liberal cannot survive. Our culture is so comfortable that that fact is taken for granted. This corona scare is a correction in that comfort.

This looks Interesting... Anyone see it yet? [youtu.be]

I would love to see this. When I realized that most of my body is empty space (like, 99.9999% or some shit) I started down terribly disturbing rabbit holes. Like, over half the cells in a human body aren't human. There's like 1000 times more non-human bacterial DNA in a typical human than their is ...

@jaymaron you got the math up to the point of free will, I have the math for that. synergy. @govols, Jay and I are working on something directly involved with this, looking for collaborators, interested? The Grand Unified Theory, coalescing physics and philosophy.

GaryWitt comments on Feb 5, 2020:

Well, respectfully, human law and legal rights in western countries—particularly Britain and the US—are not products of failed logicians. Quite the opposite, especially when you consider the evolution of the common law, or the crafting of the US Constitution. There are certainly bad laws, ...

SupraLibrix replies on Mar 26, 2020:

"there is usually a logic to their efforts" It's rational to write laws that benefit the companies you have investments in. It would be irrational to write laws that might damage your portfolio or that of someone you care about.

If a universal morality does not exist, how do you define rational thought?

SpikeTalon comments on Mar 25, 2020:

Rational thought is determined through observations on as to what exactly constitutes collective reality, and experiences and interactions with fellow human beings. In order for a specific stance to be considered rational, there must be some sort of hard evidence to defend said stance, otherwise ...

@SpikeTalon I'd love to collaborate, I'm working on a syllabus, do you have any experience in Academia? It's a whole theory describing human behavior, if you read the Foundation series by Asimov, it's like Psychohistory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychohistory_(fictional) Got some deep implications, lots of ideas to fix the cultural divide for the better.

sjwpigeon comments on Mar 25, 2020:

What do you define as "Universal Morality"? And how does it have any bearing on the definition of rational thought?

SupraLibrix replies on Mar 26, 2020:

The laws of physics are amoral. A planet cannot choose it's path around the sun. Free will determines whether morality exists. Anything that improves the life of every living thing can be considered the ultimate good. 1. Anything that injures/destroys the life of every living thing can be considered the ultimate bad. 0. To be rational implies the ability to discern the best/logical choice. e.g. In NYC, it's rational to put clothes on to go shopping. In the Amazon, it's irrational to put clothes on to go shopping. Do you see what I mean?

SupraLibrix replies on Mar 25, 2020:

Additionally, I created a logic/math that can define a universal morality, appropriate for the ideological realm of the internet. It's the paradigm shift necessary for a multicultural, online society. It provides a straightedge with no marks. Each individual has their own opinion of morality, but in public they are swayed by the opinions of others. We will see an average morality emerge on any given topic, it is infinitely adjustable.

SupraLibrix replies on Mar 25, 2020:

Thank you for the IDW culture lesson. I'm brand new here, I developed an algorithm in the shallow pond of facebook to determine rational thought. I've found that at the bottom of every single rabbit hole of argument lies the following question: Do you believe that principles existed before practice? Regardless if you are aware of it or not, whether that bit is a one or a zero determines every conclusion you reach. My algorithm is impenetrable from my experience, I'm looking for a bigger brain than mine to vet it. I think this is the right place to do it. Are you interested or do you know anyone who is?
