  • 16:3016:30, 24 October 2024 diff hist +1,488 N Irrational people are easier to manipulateCreated page with "= Overview = Evil people with power want to control and manipulate the population into believing their evil acts are justified, this is hard to do when the population has the ability to assess their actions rationally and without emotion. Behaviors and beliefs develop that reduce peoples ability to think rationally and feed off our irrational animal natures, the strongest being fear and hatred. = Fear =..."
  • 13:2013:20, 24 October 2024 diff hist +996 N Humility and the Socratic methodCreated page with "{{ConceptImportanceInfobox6High}} = Overview = In the search for truth a level of humility should be encouraged as complete understandings of complex systems is near impossible. Almost every agreed upon truth has at some time been upended by new ideas and information. Through questioning and refining arguments different interpretations of evidence or thought can be analysed, and the community can decide which make the most sense at any time. = Humili..."

A strong work ethic counters consumerism and encourages connections between members. = Related concepts = * Scaling the community * Education of community members * Education of children = Related reasonings = * What makes humans happy Catego..."

  • 03:4203:42, 24 October 2024 diff hist +3,951 N Bred to be lazy consumersCreated page with "= Overview = If those who crave power want the population to be weak it is easier to understand why existing societies manipulate their populations to not think rationally and act in ways that weaken themselves. = Animal nature = Our nature is to accumulate things and find opportunities in life to relax, this makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint where accumulation of things would aid in survival, and..."
  • 02:4502:45, 24 October 2024 diff hist +1,074 N ManipulationCreated page with "= Overview = We are all being manipulated all the time be everything our senses take in. A community has a great deal of influence in manipulating it's members to act certain ways or believe certain ideas. This can be used for Good vs Evil, we all need guidance as we grow, education and leading by example are forms of manipulating another person. When a society enacts a system where the people in positions of power have a hugely disproportionate influence over the..."
  • 02:3502:35, 24 October 2024 diff hist +1,297 N Education of childrenCreated page with "{{ConceptImportanceInfobox2Low}} = Overview = Incorporate into education of children from a young age the importance of rational thinking, understanding how our own and other's biases affect our ability to reason effectively, teaching methods that reduce irrational decision making. Teach the importance of the core concepts the community considers importance, for example how all people have the capacity for good and evil and concentrated power offers a..."

  • 13:4813:48, 22 October 2024 diff hist +931 N Scientific methodCreated page with "{{ConceptImportanceInfobox4Moderate}} = Overview = The Scientific method is a relatively simple technique communities can use to make decisions that achieve desired outcomes. Rather than making assumptions and arguing which assumption is correct, a community can test different ideas, decide on measurable metrics, and compare different experiments. When combined with Humility and the Socratic method no experiment result should be considered absolute truth, all resul..."

  • 13:3913:39, 22 October 2024 diff hist +1,007 N Truth seekingCreated page with "{{ConceptImportanceInfobox4Moderate}} = Overview = By seeking truth better decisions can be made, however in complex systems absolute truth is difficult, sometimes impossible to attain. Because ambiguities exist the goal is to come as close to the truth as the current information allows, to search for more information, and to reassess understandings as the information changes. There are techniques that can be applied that assist in truth seeking, such as the Scientif..."
