Philosophical Speculations

Who and what exactly who do "mice" and "mouse traps" refer to? Mice are little critters that invade homes. eat food, spread germs and make a mess. Traps are for killing or capture. The conflict is real. In my household we prefer live traps rather than killing ones, which is how ...

Ashvin, S"o, again, I'm asserting two paths of development: one in biocentric harmony (Able) and one that will collapse the biome and force the human inhabitant to leave (Cain)." And what if, for the sake of thought experiment, the latter manages to develop technology which restores its b...

Advice for less lethal negotiation? Endless practice of RESPECT as a fundamental custom. A culture or a civilization is a habit, a habitual way endlessly projected onto the world. How? Same as with any habit, by practice. I've already cited an example in other threads, an example of being heart-cen...

Not a bad metaphor. The problem is, in-divi-dual digits of digital individing have been complaining about alienation and general loss of meaning. The fingering possession of their full humanity by the Grabbing Hand may serve some higher purpose, which can be only speculated, but on our human level ...

YES! My point is that dominant imperial colonial civilization IS the diaspora of Cain consciousness across the earth and that not all of Abel consciousness was extinguished. Some of it fled the terror of Cain to create a non-expansionist non-aggressive non-dominating civilization dedicated through ...

I mean it is logically a separate question, of course. First we must try to understand what dynamics are taking place to form civilizations.
