#reality can only be described mathematically. each of us synthesizes an experience from this information layerPrikaži ovu nit -
each of us is an island. a floating synthesis of qualitative experience. an evolutionary-useful model of the information field we operate in so that the information stored in our double helix can propagate
Prikaži ovu nit -
each of us synthesizes very similar experiences when derived from similar information environments, but this is not always the case
Prikaži ovu nit -
the synthesis of similar subjective realities allows us to compete and cooperate
Prikaži ovu nit -
the synthesis of qualitative reality through the modeling of our information environment happens at the level of the individual organism

when western civilization's religious, political, economic, and legal thought culminated in the American enshrinement of the individual as the atom around which society must be optimized they came into resonance with the mechanisms through which reality is constructed and modeled
Prikaži ovu nit -
optimizing for the autonomy and well-being of the individual is equivalent to optimizing for the autonomy and well-being of the one who snaps qualitative reality into existence and who models it for their genetic kin's preservation

our shared base layer reality from which we synthesize our subjective qualitative reality is a complex environment which cannot be modeled by a single individual
Prikaži ovu nit -
a single individual can only model their local environment aided by the learnings of other individuals' successful modeling
Prikaži ovu nit -
the successful modeling of individuals' local environment for both that individual's well-being and for knowledge transfer to other individuals requires individual autonomy
Prikaži ovu nit -
each individual is an experiment in the best way to synthesize conscious reality from the mathematically described information-base-layer reality to propagate their genetic and memetic signatures
Prikaži ovu nit -
when we interfere with individual autonomy we corrupt such experiment and retard learning
Prikaži ovu nit -
our best ethic must protect the autonomy of the individual. any intervention that must be made to limit the autonomy of an individual can only be justified when that individual's autonomy comes into conflict with those of others
Prikaži ovu nit -
even then such intervention inevitably incurs a cost and so its cost must be outweighed by the cost of individuals' conflict
Prikaži ovu nit -
the superiority of the individual in modeling their environment is the reason why all successful collective institutions must emerge bottom-up from the individuals' autonomous activity
Prikaži ovu nit -
even temporarily successful top-down institutions are fragile as they rely on a model of the environment snapshotted in time and cannot absorb the changes in a complex environment that emergent institutions relying on the local modeling of their autonomous constituents can
Prikaži ovu nit -
this is why market systems which rely on the autonomous economic activity of participant to aggregate information through price signals outcompete any other alternatives
Prikaži ovu nit -
markets are not infallible and must sometimes be protected from corrupting themselves but they must be harnessed in any large scale human endeavor rather than be replaced by non-emergent top-down alternatives which cannot mine information from local agents
Prikaži ovu nit -
as we've seen, autonomous human organisms both bring qualitative reality into existence and then attempt to model it using locally available sensory and instrumental measurements
Prikaži ovu nit -
through knowledge sharing, successful models propagate so that an aggregate model of the environment emerges which can integrate and inform further local observations by autonomous agents who choose to buy into the aggregate model
Prikaži ovu nit -
modeling the environment allows agents to predict the future and to increase their survivability. the sharing of such predictive models with kin, family -> tribe -> society, allows them to increase their survivability as well as the survivability of any emergent institutions
Prikaži ovu nit -
all systems of morality are relative to the goals the morality supports
Prikaži ovu nit -
our goal is to survive a constantly changing complex environment. to do this we must strive to allow human agents to pursue their own well-being in their local environment to generate predictive models to pass on to humanity
Prikaži ovu nit -
human autonomy is sacred and must be guarded so that they have the freedom to conduct the experiments necessary to produce predictive models
Prikaži ovu nit -
human well-being is both a signal that such models are improving survivability and fuel for the production of such models
Prikaži ovu nit -
the sharing of predictive models: truth, is a good that we must strive for. lying is a sin, intellectual dishonesty is a sin, spreading false information is a sin
Prikaži ovu nit -
this is especially true in the information age where it is easy to obscure signal with noise and expensive to mine the truth from obfuscation
