Poll: What sort of species should we aim to evolve into through this period of Great Weirding and arrival into the anthropocene?

sounds like this "healthy mind" is merely a prioritization of one particular ideology (in this case some sort of enlightenment rationality) over the others... that said, I agree that enlightenment rationality is a reasonably good sort of ideology.
-
no. I'm making a stronger claim than "enlightenment rationality is good". a healthy mind resists ALL ideological possession, including being possessed by enlightenment rationality.
@meaningness work on meta-rationality is about that, among other things -
I guess what I'm trying to say is: what if "rendering ideas on equal footing to be evaluated contextually, and weighed against evidence" is itself a "strong [ideological] commitment"? and what if that's okay/good?
-
I don't want to get bogged down in semantics as to whether the stance of emptiness/receptivity counts as an ideology. I do agree that it's good though :)
-
to switch analogies again: ideologies are very yang. too much in fact. need more yin.
