Why, why, why only develop a "philosophical intelligence (PQ)? The question always drives me back again. What it represents is quite clear to me - but to bring it to the point, why do it to me now, here and now so important to appear ... I catch them again and again only a corner. But today I made a step forward!
Previously it was more around the "good life". It sounds plausible and is not wrong. But something still seems to be lower to be more fundamental. And today's my thought was that PQ is a response to the current state of the world. Which is characterized by abundance, or neutral: a large number of options, and networking and the resulting complexity.
abundance are actually 50 types of bread instead of enough bread to satiation. Complexity means in practice that my buying bread has many, many stations impact on someone in India, and vice versa takes the well-being of people in faraway China influence on mine.
This state of the (western?) World today but only the current end point of a curve of constant increase in variety of options and complexity. Growth of diversity and (also resulting) complexity for me the crucial, large constant.
Sure, wars, natural disasters or stupidity / social disasters have always reduces diversity and complexity as well. But only temporarily or regionally limited. Overall they are about the last 5,000 years, however, only increased. Sometimes slower, sometimes faster.
This development is not expired naturally controlled. It is the sum of the efforts of countless individuals and social systems.
development - whether controlled or not - of course now requires Adaptation. Consisting in an enlargement of the freedom of individuals or even in the development of individuality. Also seems to me a historical constant - but the increase of freedom less strong, experienced repeated setbacks.
every form of totalitarianism, such a setback, every dogma, every ideology. For ideology is rigid - that is its essence - and works for a given increase in diversity and complexity as a corset. Ideology is inherently unfit to cope with increasing complexity. For complexity require flexible response, the acceptance of the unpredictable - ideology is always to unpredictability intended to reduce. Their rules of today are suitable tools for the complexity of Unvorhersebare by tomorrow.
ideologies and totalitarianism are always subject to illusion of control. You have to do, may be understandable. They should be enforced from time to time - as history shows - is possible. Long term, they do not prevent the increase in complexity and hence the growing need (!) For individual freedom. The higher the complexity, the lower the ability to control the complex system centrally.
As long as biological individuals strive for more diversity - and that seems, given his consistency in the core of being human to lie - they condemn themselves to more and more freedom if they do not collapse under the weight of self-inflicted complexity (!). More complexity requires more decentralization. The ultimate in decentralization is a high degree of individualization, in a free and responsible option and diversity conscious and capable individual.
with PQ in my view now help, given the complexity and diversity of our world unleugnbaren, appropriate to enable the individual to deal with it. For themselves and for others in the more or less large social systems, whose part it is. And for the longest possible time. Sustainably so.
PQ will develop me insofar as timely and necessary as long as "increasing diversity and complexity," one of the great constant agrees. Anyone who wants to increase diversity and complexity fundamentally continue the good of all, can seek help in dogmas and ideologies. Diversity, prosperity: they contradict each corset.
But dogmas and ideologies have (apparently) yesterday so still helped. If they are now recognized as not sustainable (or at least does not promote diversity) what should take its place? I mean, PQ is an attitude that helps to fill the resulting vacuum.
diversity and complexity increase. Diversity complexity and need individual free capability for dealing with them. PQ reinforces the individuality and freedom. The seems to me the starting point for the foundation of being the motivation behind the PQ.
based on the historical curve means that PQ will approach the freedom of the diversity curve curve and help the diversity curve to a freer positive and conscious development.
