Id, Ego & Superego - In psychoanalytic theory, the id, ego and superego are three distinct, interacting agents in the psychic apparatus, outlined in Sigmund Freud's structural model of the psyche     (en.wikipedia.org)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Id,_ego_and_superego

Broadly speaking, the id is the organism's unconscious array of uncoordinated instinctual needs, impulses and desires; the superego is the part of the psyche that has internalized social rules and norms, largely in response to parental demands and prohibitions in childhood; the ego is the integrative agent that directs activity based on mediation between the id's energies, the demands of external reality, and the moral and critical constraints of the superego.

Universal Laws of Conscious Psyche and Normal Intellect

Based on Asimov’s robotic laws, these parallel laws use human logic for survival, enabling rapid detection of degenerates for self-defense, with conflicts resolved rationally to uphold ethical action.

I Law: A normal human must protect personal and common awareness, health, wealth, freedom, and safety, except where such protection conflicts with the II or III Law.

II Law: A normal human must respect human natural needs and rational preferences, except where unnatural needs or preferences conflict with the I or III Law.

III Law: A normal human must not, by action or inaction, harm others psychologically or physically, except for self-defense or where such conflicts with the I or II Law.

Centrism’s rationality and objectivity mirrors nature’s and human systems’ preference for balanced conditions conducive to well-being. The table illustrates how centered values optimize perfection, while extremes are harmful or destabilizing, reinforcing centrism as natural, balanced normality.

religion as a form of control after a technological singuarity     (Philosophy)
submitted by o0shad0o to Philosophy 1 month ago (+2/-1)
6 comments last comment...
Something that's really been bothering me for the last few years is how strangely cultish both the radicals and the elites in our society have been becoming. Odd religious practices and symbolisms, apocalyptic imagery, attacks on mainstream religions of all sorts, etc. It's been sticking in my mind for a while.

Then I got in a discussion with a friend of mine regarding, of all things, info that came in on Reddit. Interesting content despite the source. https://archive.ph/5apLp

I opined that John Maynard Keynes wasn't really evil, even though his work has served as a basis for a lot of it. We went from that to Marx, and I brought up how both of them were addressing the point that the workforce was steadily requiring fewer people to accomplish the same tasks based on increasing technology. I said that Keynes admitted no solution and proposed patchwork to keep a crisis from turning deadly, and waiting for the economy to recover on its own, and that the only real end to the problem he proposed would be what both he and Marx were pointing at, a technological singularity.

She then brought in the Rothschilds influencing both of them. I said I was sure the Rothschilds were using their philosophies for their own purposes, but that they wouldn't want a technological singularity, since when everything is free, money is worthless and they'd lose all their power.

Then I started thinking of ways they'd try to keep their power that didn't involve money, and the only somewhat-reliable thing that would work is religion. Either infiltrating existing ones or creating new ones, and I suspect they're doing both. Even with no one needing to work there are a large number of people who are willing to listen to religious authority figures. Combining neurolinguistics into the mix would generate plenty of followers and allow them to establish dynasties around them.

Having secured his agreement, I proceeded, “Then it follows that the doctor qua doctor prescribes with a view not to his own interest but that of his patient. For we agreed that a doctor in the precise sense controlled the body and was not in business for profit, did we not?”
He assented.
“And did we not also agree that a ship's captain in the precise sense controlled the crew but was not one of them?”
He agreed.
“So that a captain in this sense is in control, but will not give his orders with his own interest in view, but that of the crew which he controls.”
He agreed reluctantly.
“And therefore, my dear Thrasymachus”, I concluded, “no ruler of any kind, qua ruler, exercises his authority, whatever its sphere, with his own interest in view, but that of the subject of his skill. It is his subject and his subject's proper interest to which he looks in all he says and does.”

—The Republic, 342 d

I always found Plato frustrating, because real world experience (aka History) provides so many counter examples to his arguments-in-a-vacuum. "Bro, listen bro, in a high-trust, homogenous ethno-state, bro..."

Why Spinoza Was Excommunicated      (Philosophy)
submitted by boekanier to Philosophy 7 months ago (+1/-0)
1 comments last comment...
The Senhores of the ma’amad [the congregation’s lay governing board] having long known of the evil opinions and acts of Baruch de Spinoza, have endeavored by various means and promises to turn him from his evil ways. However, having failed to make him mend his wicked ways, and, on the contrary, daily receiving more and more serious information about the abominable heresies which he practiced and taught and about his monstrous deeds, and having for this numerous trustworthy witnesses who have deposed and borne witness to this effect in the presence of the said Espinoza, they became convinced of the truth of this matter. After all of this has been investigated in the presence of the honorable hakhamim [“wise men,” or rabbis], they have decided, with the [rabbis’] consent, that the said Espinoza should be excommunicated and expelled from the people of Israel. By decree of the angels and by the command of the holy men, we excommunicate, expel, curse and damn Baruch de Espinoza, with the consent of God, Blessed be He, and with the consent of the entire holy congregation, and in front of these holy scrolls with the 613 precepts which are written therein; cursing him with the excommunication with which Joshua banned Jericho and with the curse which Elisha cursed the boys and with all the castigations which are written in the Book of the Law. Cursed be he by day and cursed be he by night; cursed be he when he lies down and cursed be he when he rises up. Cursed be he when he goes out and cursed be he when he comes in. The Lord will not spare him, but the anger of the Lord and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the Lord shall blot out his name from under heaven. And the Lord shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law. But you that cleave unto the Lord your God are alive every one of you this day.

Lives are different now     (Philosophy)
submitted by Crackinjokes to Philosophy 9 months ago (+4/-0)
1 comments last comment...
When you live life long enough you begin to see certain immediate struggles as sort of a bigger picture of an insidious design.

What do I mean by that?

Well when you're young you're trying to make rent you're trying to make your utilities you're trying to make these things and you think of it all sort of as a temporary thing that you'll get through once you make more money etc etc.

In a while to some extent that's true you presumably begin to make more money and those things become less and less of a struggle on your margin for personal net gain usually improves what you realize as you get older is there are other things that step into fill those gaps and they always seem to have grown as an industry to levels that just seem to take every inch of your wealth as you make it.

And today even things like utilities are growing in proportion such that they make it hard to even make that margin if you're young.

But as you get older what you realize is all the medical plans all the insurance all the costs dental whatever all those costs grow to the level of mean and I mean that statistically mean outrageousness for the population. In other words those costs grow not because of their inherent costs of delivery of goods but they grow to the point of outrage of the majority of citizens so they complain so that those costs must be pulled back. So you realize that even if you have good retirement or you've saved a lot of money or whatever all these different forced aspects of your life like health insurance or the cost of Health procedures or the portion of Health procedures that are excluded from being covered by your insurance like deductibles Etc they all grow to absorb whatever extra wealth you have.

And while you're young you think of yourself as being on a path of enrichment delayed only by the passage of time you sort of really get a bigger picture as you're older and you realize our whole society is created to keep everyone in a state of perpetually using their time in life to work for someone else or something else. It is a form of velvet slavery and it's some occupations not really even coated in velvet.


And what I wonder is with all the mechanization we have and the automation that we have if we didn't have the system that we had or we had some actual checks and balances on it it just seems like people would have to work a whole lot fewer hours and give up so much less of their life and have a better standard of living. But our system which I now believe is designed either specifically or by default over time through lack of controls it's designed by Jews to really use us all as cattle and give us the minimum amount needed to Keep Us alive and keep us from rebellion if people would even rebel anymore but just to keep us working for them for whatever crazy insane purposes there genetically defective brains have hallucinated that they need.

Anyway it's just an observation of made. I'm luckier than most but even so you still look at things like the cost of the deductible of an operation that you're likely to need is you get older one of several that typically are hit older people or you look at the cost of long-term care or other things and you realize all these costs they just maximize themselves to the ability to take every last cent that someone has made their whole life from the average person and actually more than the average person because I believe huge numbers of people these days die in debt so the debt part of the equation has allowed the utility companies the medical companies the car companies Etc to raise their prices beyond what the average person would be able to pay but the average person slowly builds up debt over their life until they just die with debt so they are completely never free.

And one of the only ways to escape this is to be part of one of these systems such as working for the government or a utility company or the medical industry that because they are extorting and sucking the maximum amount of money from most people actually can't afford to pay more money to the participants in their field or you decide in life to shoe the many of the normal things that many people get such as you hold on to a car for 20 years instead of five or you decide not to get certain medical treatments that everybody else gets which it turns out and solarily may often benefit you but that's not the point.


And I think this is actually new I don't think it's always been this way. Utilities have never been as high of a proportion of people's income monthly as they are today. They've basically replaced or become a second house payment now. Cars used to last forever and it's interesting I've just had some exposure to this recently that even older cars there are parts in those cars that are no longer made and can't be remanufactured which means you can't keep a car forever anymore. There are Model t Fords that are still running on the road today but there are cars built from the 90s which because of the amount of computers and things in them that fail and are actually not even able to be remanufactured unless you can do it yourself or by law you aren't allowed to play with because of a mission rules and things that keeps you on a perpetual car buying spray your whole life. Suddenly you have to be ready to just have an a monthly car payment that is what you used to be a house payment because the car that you buy even if you do pay it off and you own it will have so many things that are not fixable after 5:00 or 10 years that you won't be able to escape having to get another car and yet have another 400 to $1,000 monthly car payment.

It just means our society has evolved into a perpetual state of slavery that has become so normalized that people don't even recognize it for what it is. And because of the technology that already exists they automated farming the automated so many things our lives should be improving we should have more free time not less. But because there are no checks and balances on these things that you can't avoid like utilities Etc they've raised the level of time that you must spend in your own life in the service of others. In other words a form of slavery.

I guess this can be seen most clearly in contrast to the way an aggregarian society member would have lived in the late 1700s. They would have gone out and acquired some land and they would have had to spend a certain amount of time growing food and prepping firewood but they wouldn't have had utility costs they wouldn't have had medical costs they wouldn't have had taxes their need for something that would have been The rustic equivalent of an automobile would be less it would most likely have been livestock which had some cost associated with them but in a way they were self feeding machines. So in other words once you got some land the amount of time you needed to spend in the service of others was virtually by your own choice.

It's just a thought that hit me

MOZI (Mo Tse) c. 470 – c. 391 BCE

400 years before Christ, he lays down his famous principle of universal charity. 'Let every country treat other countries as its own, other families as his own, other people as himself!'
On the role of traditional religion: 'When everyone believes in the power of spirits (the Chinese have no God) to reward the good and punish the bad, there will be no misfortune.'

EMPEDOCLES

Born in 492 BC in Agrigentum, Empedocles became known as a physician, physicist, philosopher and poet. As a scientist, he was well-informed about the views of many predecessors, but he himself is said to have discovered the centrifugal force through experiments. As a physicist, he shared with the philosophers of Ionia a great curiosity about the origin of the cosmos. He assumed that the basic substances - fire, water, air and earth - had first clumped together by chance and disorder, but that over time only those combinations had remained that had a good composition. A 'theory of evolution' avant la lettre, as it were. And he saw the entire process of changes in nature not influenced by a world of gods, but by two forces: love and struggle. As a poet, Empedocles was highly respected. He was particularly fascinated by the theories of Heraclitus on the theme of continuous 'becoming'. With his creative mind, for example, he describes death as 'disappearing into the lonely and blind night'.

This is an argument you can use in public for people who can't get around your "whiteness".

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

Now point out that they want to judge people by the color of their skin because they're horrible people of disgusting character.

It’s what the Bible teaches. All bibles teach it. The love and joy of 72 virgins is no different than the heaven promise in all religions, everywhere! Is there a religion I can believe, Christianity, Buddhist, Muslim (but not the Jews, they are evil.) one thing is true: just love one another, be kind. But watch out for Jews, they are the naughty people.
