Nate's Changing Ideal

Life’s only goal

Key theory:

Each of our actions revolve around finding something bigger than us to synergize all of our signals from our probes

Some background:

We think therefore we are broken. That is oversimplified but let me explain. Broken as in, we have not reached the above goal yet. Pain comes in forms that we choose (workouts, the fun everyday tasks) and forms we do not choose (abuse of all kinds, obnoxious chores.) This unchosen pain is really us feeling frustrated that the signals we are feeling are not synergizing together. That frustration is the core to what we are thinking. As long as we continue to think for this reason, we are broken and have not met the above goal

Probes give us these signals and we absorb an enormous amount of probe signals. By probes, I mean any detectable signal—internal or external—that exerts pressure on a system toward action, interpretation, or adaptation. This includes probes hitting us from all over this world, this universe, humans and animals, as well as the loudest which are in our body even down to atoms and smaller.

Evolutionarily we have chosen a method to meet this goal

Tribes. There are many tribes (organizations, entities) that try to synergize these probes. Evolutionarily we are built to belong to a tribe and naturally believe that these tribe will be the key to meeting the above goal. We need them. At this time there is no tribe that is capable of fully synergizing all of our probes. Some tribes will claim they can, we all have chosen tribes to follow, but all fail. We know they fail because we still think therefore are broken.

The bug of this method

Our conscience (spirit, inner voice.) It is a bigot, it is racist, it "others" others. We are built to trust it but it cannot be trusted on its own. This bug is the source of most human-on-human unchosen pain. It creates the most powerful tribes giving those in the tribe the most signal synergizes. The conscience was built for an old era when we lived in communities of 50-150 that needed to do horrible acts to those outside of the tribe in order to protect those in the tribe. It lets us ignore many probes to assure protection to our tribe. As long as we try to meet the above goal with all 10+ billion humans, we will always fail until we resolve the conscience issue

Our greatest weapon at this time

Feedback Loops. The stronger the feedback loop the healthier a tribe usually be can. Feedback loops destroy the power of our conscience and assure more probes recieve a voice. Organizations and entities that can gain a following while also maintaining a strong feedback loop are the greatest weapon

We are testing a new method to meet this goal

Technology. There is a theory that technology can provide the above goal. While this theory is only a theory we as a society are devoting large amounts of resources to test this theory. We see the hope in technology even if it might wipe out all humanity in the process. We need weapons against it much like feedback loops have been a great weapon against tribes

This theory is still in the works. I am not a philosopher by trade, concepts might be somewhat but not fully fleshed out. The general idea is there, we just want something bigger than us to take care of us. I would love opinions to help improve it

My Personal Mantra

To love is to let someone feel safe being themselves. Being loved is to feel safe
Everything else is control, which is a vital part of every relationships growth, but it is control
Bad Control happens when its hard to give the controller feedback
Bad Control can become evil when high stakes are involved

All anyone really wants is freedom to be their authentic self
One way to help people have that freedom is to love

About

This is my ideal on how to my best person. I am sure it will constantly evolve as I learn more. This helps me try to be consistent in my actions. It will also mean that I may have unpopular opinions on topics but that is good. Maybe it will mean that I should change my ideals, maybe not. I hope to be consistent
