Topics and Projects
A table of concerns, if not a table of contents.
Most of the following links connect to linkposts pages organize the concerns. Despite the idiosyncratic use of language, I am trying to communicate the ideas not the personality. In the current media age, the context often takes that option away from my and my intentions.
The main concerns, trying to explain the terminologies I use
- Posts on the world & worlding - So then what is the world? In short it is that 'extended phenotype' of kith and kin we live in. The world is the home of all our homes.
- Examples of people worlding in words in the wild - quotes & discussion.
- Posts on morality/ethics/worldingbuilding - About a subset of outcomes which the 'moral' urge makes us want to organize, norm, and justify. It's worlding, i.e. of the worlding urge, but semi-conscious of its origins, it doubles-down on outcomes.
- Fideism, churches, religions: devotees versus the empire - How we should when we should do better but end up doing religion instead.
- Reactions to papers on evolution~morality
- The… —gap.
- Gaps of knowledge, incompleteness of systems, that type of lack and what we feel we should do about them, especially when we world.
- Posts on the blur - an intentional suspension of judgement or separating out.
- Janus ratio, what's the point?
- An attempt to use an old god to do better than throwing stuff into the… —gap.
Implications
- Posts on the word 'thing'
- Narcissism & Psychopathy - People who are immune to the world think it is all about them.
