OpEdNews - Diary: Objective reality is a misnomer; it is not Science

The first thing I want to know about a scientist is that he has a full set of working neurons. If he does not, there is no way he can grasp the single most important fact of life, which is that evolution always works towards love using exactly the same neurological development paths along completely separate paths of evolution.

::::::::

The neurologically deficient, or semi-functioning, scientists deny this; they tend to be the same scientists who, for instance, may deny the greenhouse effect, or, when attacked for such stupidity, make the equally absurd statement that the greenhouse effect is a natural phenomena of evolution.

As it happens, most of Science is installed by people who do not have a full set of working neurons; they lack empathy. They deal with their defects by calling themselves objective, and by saying we normal average people are subjective: prone to emotions and hence absurdity. This goes a long way to describe the oligarchic structure of our society and the various institutions that control it, especially Education.

I am constructivist

Constructivism describes how all valid societies (ours is not a valid one) build knowledge into sort of a cloud (to borrow from network technology) that hovers above the society called the "community of knowledge." It includes all information, private and shared, and extends into the surrounding environment; so it includes the knowledge of the animals--where the nuts are, for instance--and also the vast information base of life that is DNA--when the nuts will arrive.

Valid scientific knowledge is a part of that cloud, and futher extends the construction aspect by requiring that all the pieces support each other, so that we know that we have the correct picture.

My degree capstone paper which develops the idea that Darwin's natural affection is the basis of morality, and is definately natural!

Empathy Model

An extension in Wiki format to strengthen the science of Empathy, as opposed to "cold" or unfeeling science. Anti-emapthy is described successfully as "emotional communication disorder." In other words, the anti-empathic cannot help themselves -- but they still have to be stopped.

Empathy group

The Empathy Action group that was the acid-test, that proved the concept of anti-empathy -- empathy is the target of those w/o empathic neurons to carry out abuse.

Capital Structure Cheat Sheet
An attempt to comprehensively, yet succinctly, describe the economic and political structure we live in in historical and observational contexts. It focuses on Capital's roots in family capital, showing that the continual refinement of exploitation by a structural elite directly opposes the natural goals of evolution, which are always empathic.
