Negative Utilitarian | working to act as an accurately informed, consciously functioning, useful 'Practical Theorist' here. 'Foundherentism' conceptually captures my epistemological leaning (largely)

Wary of logical fallacies, cognitive biases, and other such irrational intellectual ERRORS that inevitably obstruct productive progress

Principled aim: honest + accurate in my 🧠's model of reality (esp. of its most vital context, "if any"): logically aligns execution of my best efforts to be a more assuredly constructive force therein

Hubris, ignorance, selfishness: among primary pathogens to humanity, civilization, and the net, collective quality of sentient life

Taboo targeted here (a necessary, yet airily neglected inquiry): the real COST of sentient biology, esp. relative to its commonly cited or proposed GOOD(s); an axiologically critical, urgent subject, rarely sufficiently addressed or even considered. Arguing from an 'EFIList' view (roughly), I help stimulate related dialogue

See pinned comment and comment uploaded today, under my 2nd-to-last community post (re: ATM videos) for my current status...I'm trying to do a lot in life right now.

Axiology video here will come later (ATM video is more important; for axiology, other than my content here thus far which touches on it here and there, I can point to Inmendham and other sources that my understanding most critically consolidated/culminated thru...in the meantime - prior to my publishing a dedicated video, and as I've insisted numerous times to numerous folks - I'll gladly engage in a live, recorded, whatever, arguement with ANYONE on the subject of "VALUE" and win - via video especially [my current schedule is hellacious; comment wars are tediously - and in my current context - unaffordably, time-consuming])

MY BAD, folks (false statements rendered in prior posts aka, content that failed to upload in timeline indicated). No excuse (OK there are what seem to be extremely good reasons, but I refuse to allow that they are sufficient) - I have been "weak" in character. I am working on that HARDER than perhaps I have ever had to before, given physical and other such frustrating limits that I encounter. Anyway, new channel (hadn't planned to upload any content there, mostly was for 'myself'). But, "plans change":

Link: youtube.com/@secularsanctuary?si=6zMZNG8I2QuBMsvE
Hopefully, the above channel will come to demonstrate my upper-most "wisdom" that I become capable of explicitly sharing outwardly prior to my death in this (human) form...meaning the photon(s) that I understand to form my base-most level of identity - shall of course continue on radiating beyond this temporal state of 'hardship'

Just for the record, while I (but what do "I" know - I guess 'we'll see') still hold Inmendham as overall 'Philosopher King' currently, (unsurprisingly) I do not necessarily fully agree with every single element of everything he expresses when it comes to (what I would, perhaps imperfectly, describe as) 'The Ultimate Reality'. I have for some time, and still do, plan to post response videos to much of his content. If I EVER find someone mischaracterizing him in response (he has many haters), as with (e.g.) a republican over-stepping in UNFAIRLY sh*tpiling a democrat (or vice versa) when an independent criticizes the latter with them to witness, my wrath will be upon and decimate you in return. I fully believe Inmendham is honestly (and, rather impressively I would argue) seeking to fulfill his best function; I aim to align with and help further that towards 'an ultimate good' (something we both apparently believe in)

That is all, thanks and 'take care'

Copy/Pasta Post from most recent Inmendham Video "You Are Sinking Your Own Ship"

3 double-astericked chunks of text are most pertinent re: this update.

"Honest communicative work of a mind with intellectual integrity. Naysayers (IF you're going to slime in here and cocksuredly contend) - show someone with decidedly, demonstrably much more of that feature - I'm confident you will in all probability be unable to do so.

In any event, this man is among the few that I credit greatly as to the best work I'll have produced by my 'deadline' i.e., meeting with death.

**Next video on my main channel: axiology (projected release: July 1 or earlier). Upcoming videos on "Addicted Truth Machine" channel (will work on 'in parallel' and release some earlier than above axiology video) will include constructive commentary on various videos (and some original content videos such as a 'StratProb' series) most of which on Inmendham videos (some older, some recent such as this video).**

I'm a bit too perfectionistic, personally unorganized, undisciplined, and maladaptive given newfound obstacles I've been faced with (partly due to recklessly over-loading myself in many ways too often + too intensely + too extensively over a wide timeframe) and entrenched in but I can absolutely do what I've described above (most probably - barring any other major personal developments). "Easier said than done" but I'm commited to the path I "see" that I can and ought to walk, and this video (not the first to do so) amplifies the signal (through all the noise) that 'says' "OK, DO IT"

My **plan centrally involves small blocks of each day (or at least most days) allocated to work on such projects so that I can manage the many elements I am fixated on learning, engaging and doing simultaneously and so that I can somewhat satisfy my need or desire to communicate to my standards on the given channels and given the content and context I interpret at hand.**

**Expect first ATM video by next Sun** (updates posted on my channel under community tab, but unless critical or catastrophic personal extenuating circumstance, that ought not happen in terms of a delayed timeline)"

Primer re: "Practicality" (pasted from a recent note, of mine, with spaces added for easier readability):

"Re: EFILism vs "Applied EFILism" and re: content related to practicality, strategy, etc..."Applied EFILism" (concerning the *practical implementation of* the descriptive + prescriptive [directive] model) contains info identifying practical obstacles/roadblocks to maximally attainable actualization of the prescriptive part of the model, and info on delineating best principles of operation, procedural standards, guidance and recommendations, best practices, and active processes (including info on relevant inter-ACTIVE mechanics, dynamics, organization, logistics, techniques, tactics, strategy, execution, etc. - covers an ever-revised and tested set of probabilistic principles, processes, procedures, practices for operational efficiency and effectiveness of the EFIList effort both individually and at group and broader-level; practical parameters for prudent execution of the prime directive i.e., 'command prompt');


this is where, for instance, in what I've increasingly come to frame as "healthy, rational EFILism," the "healthy, rational," but particularly, the "healthy" part comes into play (despite its relative exclusion or separate-ness from the basic 'theoretical' model...it is part of the broader/est WORK-ing model): see, reference related (though problematically phrased or at least, insufficiently elaborated on) bit from my 1st AS YT video - timestamp is 2:49-4:47 - where I mention "Practical Theorist"


(all of the above could conceivably be irrelevant to ostensibly pure theorists [fully accounting for all actual function of any human, accurately describes nobody], but would be more relevant to practicioners [fully accounting for all actual function of any human, accurately describes everybody]).


As alluded to in my 1st video "Why Vlog," we all basically fill both roles (theorist and practicioner). As live feeling machines that are interactively interfacing with others, and with "basic needs" that will result in our termination if neglected, we are compelled to act or forced to abort (an act itself, and one which could potentially result in more net destruction than not, especially if we all were to execute that route instead of any efforts whatsoever).


Thus, we're necessarily 'practicioners', aka act-ing agents, causing real-time effects that include affective effects on sentient states (those of ourselves, and of others) and so on...


Sure, we can more consciously enter into 'theorist mode' or whatever you would like to call it basically, but it's not the total function of what we engage, nor the default mode we're in for every instance of our operation, and certainly doesn't fully describe all that any of us actively are. We are act-ive, not ever (completely) passive (at least, while in waking hours of our lifespan), until we're "dead" (prior to that though, all actions, including e.g., the action to voluntarily terminate, cannot escape this fact that we are playing a role of "practicioner").


Incomplete information, informational noise, associated uncertainty, psychologically pertinent forces of friction, physical and environmental limitations, and so forth - might be interpreted as grounds for false defeatism. In reality, they just represent unfair, unfortunate inconveniences and obstacles and in fact, they all further the AN/EFIList argument even more, because despite the fact there is no guarantee nor necessarily, sure probability that we can with absolute certainty (nor even, tremendously high, intellectually honest confidence or assurance) identify and perform the best decision and ACTION routes - we're stuck here compelled to do so.


Of course I and others argue: someone has to do something (i.e., mass or total EFIList euthanasia will almost certainly result in a worse Qualitative Reality, ultimately, than an alternative trajectory where [at least some of us] maintain and regulate - rather than abort - ourselves, and exert effort to execute on the prime directive as best as we legitimately can).


But regardless...All of the above is simultaneously true.


Anyway...while on YT we might be percieved as (by others but also by ourselves) or approach content creation more as practical *theorists* in a sense, IRL and inter-actively (even on YT, arguably), we're more so theorizing *practicioners* ...will refine, revise and elaborate better on that in future - also, this is not to argue that it isn't recommended or even required to ever (attempt to) adopt a more purely 'thinking' or personally detached "theorist" hat so to speak i.e., functioning to execute an intellectual operation as accurately as possible AND as if in what is effectively a vacuum of cognition).


Also (for example), obviously no practical features (presentation format, message timing, etc.) technically bear any relevance whatsoever to the logical truth value of any given fact, argument, axiom, etc. (unless the fact, argument or axiom in question is specifically about such a feature). However, again as is obvious: as a matter of practicality, it is probabilistically more prudent to optimize such features regardless, in order to maximize registration of that truth value state, in other sentient human 🧠s.


Similarly, in a given, dynamic context "IRL," the aim to, e.g., exhort execution of a given decision and/or action route by another(s), or performing such yourself, might be valid. However, practical features such as, e.g., timing, velocity, your condition, and other context can nonethless bear relevance to the likely efficiency and effectiveness (aka essentially, efficacy of the execution), regardless of if the command or directive, in itself, is valid.

Per the last community post here, re: alternative channels (in early stages of creation/development)

Addicted Truth Machine
https://youtu.be/djdmwH-tVtM?si=ybjVs...

Tentative plan involves that ATM will largely consist of MeBrain doing output on an array of content including causal determinism, *draft strategy*, and lots of reactions to videos that pertain to various vital subjects.

Axiological Agency
https://youtu.be/1H8zTX_Apdo?si=OEiax...

AA will largely be all about value, value systems, ethics, and reactions to related video content and claims.

Probably, much of the content on both channels will not be as polished as on this main (and, mostly, conceptually culminating) channel

Upcoming videos: why AN, axiology, strategy.

Subscribe or to  ‪@AddictedTruthMachine‬ and  ‪@AxiologicalAgency‬ or keep in mind for additional related, upcoming content there. After uploading there I'll probably post on here pointing to those channels

Addicted Truth Machine is intended to be a bit different than this channel, for example, more lenient with allowing autobiographical elements, more emphasis on "truth," intellectual integrity & intelligence, relatively more free-flow, broader in scope sometimes (whereas this channel centers more particularly on the vital truths concerning the context of sentience, sound analysis, and axiology and ethics also but, in a more formal structure or rigorous format as much as practically possible, etc.)

I'm undecided on precisely how Axiological Agency will be but probably, again, more free-flow in many cases, though also with some semi-scripted and/or more formal content here and there. On that channel, I will be posting content and responses challenging content that covers axiology, ethics, and related matters, often in a more off-the-cuff (totally or minimally unscripted, etc.) style and/or in ways which are more efficient. Editing time and other restrictions to output will be minimized.

All 3 channels cover epistemology, ontology, axiology, and other key knowledge base fundamentals that are vital to becoming a more functional human. Practical fundamentals also include a few other critical elements such as self-care, which I can cover core components of in an alternate channel  ‪@HealthspanHandyman‬      
Further still, I have created several other channels, such as ‪@VisualizationVector‬ (condensed, mentally potent audio-visual content), ‪@Motive_Tube‬ (activation energy or "motivation" content), ‪@CraftyCreativeConsciousness‬ (artistic content), ‪@The_Netizen‬ (news), Spectrum of STEM ‪@stemspectrummechanicaltech‬ (for broad coverage of mechanical and technical subjects). Why the latter? I would argue that, regardless of occupation, understanding some fundamentals (at the least) of such areas and aspects therein, would better equip many of us, to become better advocates, champions, defenders or just supporters of the cause. Optimizing and maximizing influence and impact is essential for this great mission.

The 🐘 in the Room that EFILists must reconcile and overcome.

We must address this and brainstorm ethically tenable, practically viable solutions in order to WIN THE WAR.
