Why The First Definition?

Have a look around.

Society is hurtling forward and individual rights are threatened (and they most certainly are) and individuals are being degraded and what we call the humanities is failing to offer real solutions. We need to correct this before the curtain comes down.

Fundamental to fixing this is a clear and easily understandable definition of who or what the individual really is.

What is this thing that we sense we are? What is this entity that turns the computers on and off. Who is this thing that creates great music or melts you with a smile.

One feels it half-defined or falsely defined in many of our “serious” or “heavy duty” subjects ---- philosophy, medicine, science, politics, religion, economics, etc.

We are told we are a brain, or an algorithm, or a neural net, or a chemical accident, or a minion of some overlord. Science scoffs at it. High technology is intent on making electronic devices to replace it. Are we a soul or do we have one? It can all get pretty confusing.  

Aubrey Plaza explains it beautifully:  

In this age of sophisticated drugs, trending swarms of web media and marketing, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and unworkable mental science (I’m not even going to mention political turmoil) we’d better figure this out.

The good news is it has been figured out. It is easily understood and will really improve your life.

Stay tuned.
