Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. Ralph Waldo Emerson; US essayist and poet (1803 - 1882)

1 tiny example of 'addictive': have a look at a map of Europe by religion around 1650. Protestantism is spreading like wildfire. Ireland is 'catholic', and being forcefully colonized by Anglican England. You might start to grasp that the 'Northern Ireland Conflict' originated as creative defense of common sense Irish against colonization by England.

- A fine way of living seems limited free choice of windows directly on reality (no 'rational' [glibbery] talk anymore from 'politicians').
The same temporarily agreed ethical filter for EVERYBODY within a culture. Ethical rules should define an 'ethical cage' that does not need control with anonymous cameras, but is 'closed' by common sense education. Of course the rules making the 'ethical cage' are free for sensable open discussion, but in the shape of laws NOT free for compromise. Temporary 'control and censorship' by rules coming from tradition, and that are on short term not free for 'bargaining'.

The addition 'directly on reality' is essential. It supposes from the leaders an active approach to give everybody an as a clear view on reality as practically possible. You might see what I see. Such freedom of shaping your own opinion ensures equallizing disturbing differences in happiness. Removing barriers in knowledge prevents that any view to unnecessarily becomes dogma.

Of course new views need advertising and balancing with existing views. But remember: both conservatism and being progressive have a use, to create a stable society.

That means conservative thinkers that dare to think relative (are adapted to the present variety of life), and a new breed of progressive thinkers that accept the need for stable 'absolutism' (conservatism, i.e. don't jump too fast from things like cheering nuclear energy to applauding solar energy). See Popper-Kuhn debate

Cultural leaders should:

- realize that life on earth is like a cloud of particles with a lot of water. When the cloud gets disbalanced, then all the water might go to one side and get polluted. The cloud might start losing water, and water is the prime condition for earth life.
- realize that humans are not 'above' earth life, and as part of earth life should keep the balance
- have clear goals, expressed by a 'simple' logic
- treat cultural values like locally absolute. Compromise is relaxing of the cultural values, it has no end.
- that creating new nergy resources might seem expensive, but that 'money' is only paper
- ... evade difficult words (realize to be living in dreams of their own)

Pirsig ("The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance") pictures today science as a kind of serial schizophrenia.
Maybe it's good to realize that an Ethical Law Shift (Reality Redesign) means 'End of Science'.
Smart human apes on 'Universities' should stop messing with social life, and pretending upgrading cultural behavior based on the self-created myths 'understanding' and 'social science'. Social Products of evolution were made through millions of years improving.
BUT Technological Universities could still serve WELL as skill training facilities.

Jesus tried to redesign a view on reality made by The Romans and to peacefully show a way back to his interpretation of Zoroastrian values (common sense). Being fundamentally misunderstood cost him his life, and his common sense view on life (stop slavery) immediately became corrupted by the Romans, and even more much later in Enlightenment. It changed in the 'Roman Catholic' or 'Scientifical' VIEW.
Mind that an Total Paradigm Shift (Reality Redesign) a 'brutal clean sweep' of social ethics instead of in stead of 'mopping up'. Removing the rusted layer of social attitudes, contrary to the subtle Kuhnian reparative weaving on the former way of life (paradigm).
It is 'arrogant' to label members of other ways of life as 'insane' or 'terrorist' when they made holes in the dominant paradigm. This attitude needs replacement by 'respect'.
Education of use of conceptual schemes should focus on the age range 5 - 12, because then the human animal is still flexible.
Total Paradigm Shifts just like Kuhnian Paradigm Shifts obey Kuhn's rule: [The way to change] ....involves the 'comparison'/tuning of both paradigms [..] with each other. This by using common sense, because simultaneous partial explanation of both paradigms remains possible (keep it simple).

Members of introvert paradigms (like Christian Science) by definition can't look outside their paradigm. The choice inherent in their basics is war on terrorism as way of defense. That might result in agressive empires like the Roman Empire or Muhammedanism (take care, only dominant variant of peaceful Islam), or the United States. Relative paradigms (like Buddhism) by intuition replace attack by respect. That way the door to different paradigms stays open to make a jump.
'Players' in the game Life should realize that their truth is relative. The emerging 21st century world culture is a straightforward game.

Further in this site an example of a puzzle workshop: 'mood puzzling'. Training for 'human animal whisperer' makes sense of moods, leaving the myth 'understanding'..

No words ...

Kuhnian Paradigms are bulldozers that help people to resist suffocation by the Anaconda-like mental strangling of a former Paradigm (bulldozer like stretching of the dominant paradigm). At present such a mental-Anaconda still bases its strength on rules coming from Roman 'scientia'. Especially Immanuel Kant made that mental strangling even more powerfull by unpurposely feeding it with abstract 'a priori' in his Critique of Pure Reason. Once in a while when the mental worlds are crowded with squeezing mental snakes evolution in some way chases away these mind reptiles, and in a Design Shift based on millions of years of experience starts a new 'zoo'.

Mood Puzzling

THE fundamental entities of reality don't exist, EVERY view has own basics.
In every culture brains (supersenses) use some view of reality, and inherently some basics.
Creativity is puzzling with relations of basics.

History as narration was introduced by Giambattista Vico, who died anonimously as being anti christian. Vico denied the rational inventions 'understanding' and 'consciousness'.
A Kuhnian paradigms arbiter writes in wishful thinking: A strict Kuhnian line implies that professional [social scientists] .... would be the sole arbiters of what counts as adequate philosophical and sociological research about science. That is a circular argument, but it makes me more sure that Kuhnian Paradigms are 'Regular Maintenance' Paradigms within an overall Paradigm (like 'science'). That explains why this 'social scientist' can't imagine to be prejudiced and thinks in circular way.

Helas the 21st Century Paradigm is NOT a Kuhnian 'ethical-window' cleaner (soft revolution), but an brainclutching (especially in The Western World) Reality Redesign. A Kuhnian Paradigm Shift would have been something like: a shift from an economic centered world-view to an ecocentric world-view. Revolutional, but only stretching the 'science' paradigm. An Ethical Law Paradigm ERASES the social ethical part of the present paradigm. Of course not technology, but it DRASTICALLY changes the notions 'understanding', 'intelligence', 'adult', and also the whole method of 'knowledge puzzling'.

It's important to realize that puzzles (paradigms) are not solved through use of the 'scientific' myth 'understanding' but through using 'intuition' when creating a new puzzle and new added rules.

a) Humans might be seen as barrels full of moods, with several windows on reality .

b) Moods are triggered by multi dimensional sense experiences coming through the windows, and have multi dimensional thresholds

c) The reaction of a mood is building up to some kind of 'orgasm'. I.e. working towards a peak, and then 'relaxing'.

d) Like suspension bridges moods have a frequency zone, that is 'dangerous'. Then a peak is almost inavoidable and considerably larger than the custom peak (this is personal).

e) The shape of the orgasm curve, is decisive for addictivity. Sex triggers are addictive because they result in fast peak and fast relaxation.

f) Education is training intuition/moods (our sensory-motor is a circusact). No offense but 'scientists' aren't THAT different from dolphins.

g) Training beings in abstract thinking takes action-response tools.

To join Buddhism, Christianity and Islam, these 3 major cultures have to continue in the same new Ethical Law Paradigm (stable but relative and respectful Reality Redesign)
Or in common words: the challenge for near future is to make a meaningful mix of Emotion/Intuition and Skill that Ethically makes Sense, while respecting all life.
This by translating a radically new view of the functioning of the brain and of intelligence into new shapes of treating life.

To replace 8 fold path and 10 commandments, this time 12 guidelines divided in 3 groups:

A) The Game of Reality (The One) is Driving in Respect on Roads to Future Realities
1. Respect all life as being only compass towards a future ONE. See shape only as shape
2. Stimulate playing. Fighting is only 1 type of play. Focus on all shapes
3. Train to learn to trust and use own creativity, before using the backup memory
4. Take care to control creativity. It otherwise might take any shape. Train near to complete respect towards more experienced animals
5. Prevent shame by showing Respect. Shame is an awful directive power
6. Collective killing is part of play in The One. Do it in respect

B) Creativity is fuel for Vehicles driving on Roads of Reality
7. Start training at young age. Accept that at say age 12 the human animal is mentally adult. Young animals are still mentally flexible
8. Young animals are very 'tough'. Protection is nice, but don't strangle their creativity with training
9. Train Communication and stimulate creativity at young age (5-12) , it's THE way for any Personal Paradigm to gain strength
10. Train Isolation, contemplation is of utter importance
11. Train most skills after the age of 12. Use the creativity that developed. Creativity takes skill as basis for variation

C) Ethical Laws for the next 'etappe' prevent dropping of Roads to a future Reality
12. Learn to control abstract modelling in social ethics, like 'intuition' it has great potential (in the 21st century though first refind 'intuition')

As far as I can see, these general tips fit very well as a Meta Ethical Laws in the next Paradigm with Buddhism, Christianity and Islam united (as well as in an African, Australian or South American Paradigm).
Because the mood 'Respect' is the way in which evolution archived the talent to keep creativity moving.

The ONE is a limitless unity that is observed through sense experience. The prime basic of 'rationality' is: SPLIT of The ONE in TheTwo (human made rules, practicing).

Hallucinations by human arrogance should be forgotten (like: you sense my trick, BUT that is fantasy. You need treatment).
OF COURSE it is part of The ONE, otherwise you wouldn't sense it. Maybe your interpretation of this sense experience might be more useful, but you sense what you sense.

Cutting The One in whatever slices, and use some 'filter' before pasting, is peculiar behavior.
That is acting like a magician (illusionist). When the audience refuses your trick-view of The ONE arrogantly saying: You need dual glasses. You SEE an illusion. And a the same moment trying to make it see a 'rational' illusion like 'Axis of Evil'.
NO, these absolute tricks don't work anymore. The audience needs new relative magic.

Old Magic: Giving audiences dual spectacles of fashionable types of absolute brand 'Rationality'


Way of Work:
(0) Split of The ONE in the duo (Divine Ideas, sinful struggle)
(1)Accepting as 'Divine Ideas' only 'rational' ideas
(2) Breaking a picture of The ONE down into 'rational' parts (rational Cut)
(3) Filter with Divine Ideas (maintaining dual division of The ONE, that means: 'good' remains 'good' and 'evil remains 'bad')
(4) Building a systematic synthesis Reality=TheTwo from the 'good' and 'bad' splinters of the broken ONE ('rational' Paste)
(5) Produce 'rational' conclusions (define TheTwo as (Good,Evil))

The ONE

Result of dual view

New Magic: Giving audiences 'Common Sense' spectacles of shockproof 'relative' brand 'The ONE

BASIC: The ONE is life
(1) Any sense experience is part of The ONE ('truth')
(2) An 'observation' is the total of sense experience
(3) Puzzle 'observations' into 'sense' (a simulation of The ONE)

Dimensions of The ONE:
Sense-views are multi-dimensional puzzles, and might be solved in any dimension.

(what is 'terrorism' for some, is 'common sense' to others)

Any piece of that puzzle in any dimension needs puzzling with whatever logic.

(don't pretend 'understanding', just use your senses)
