The objective/purpose that is inherent within every life is to obtain, maintain, and protect one's self-harmony.
That is accomplished by;
1) Clarifying (neutral perception of what is or isn't)
2) Verifying (checking for inadvertent presumptions in perception)
3) Instilling/Documenting/Remembering so as to affix positive progress and begin momentum
4) Aim the efforts toward the maximum/optimal momentum (strongest force) of your life.

Everything else that you do, not only takes from your probability of survival, but also that of others.
Self-harmony, regardless of who or what you are, is the definition of your survival because "that which remains in self-harmony, cannot perish."

In addition, all Joy comes by the perception of progress.
Progress cannot be perceived for long unless there is clarity and memory of the goal.
If that goal is self-harmony, survival, the joy is perceived eternally.
Thus the same process is required to obtain that inner joy as to obtain self-harmony/survival.

Relating this to this thread;
No coup is worth doing (or anything else for that matter) unless the end result is a higher probability of self-harmony.

Sure. So what did you mean by "From THIS age of sleep, Homosapian shall never awake."?

The dangers that have come about, due very largely to technology in the realm of DNA manipulation and nanotechnologies, are far more extreme than the common person realizes. They are a train at full throttle without regard for the total end result. As such, there will soon no longer be what you call human. Homosapian has, in his confusion, created (already) his own replacement and mostly considers it to be a good thing.

The more you attempt coups and such resistance, the stronger his blind pursuit gets.
The solution walks a different path.

I can agree with you there.

James S Saint wrote:As such, there will soon no longer be what you call human. Homo sapien has, in his confusion, created (already) his own replacement and mostly considers it to be a good thing.
You don't specify what this replacement is. A genetically modified human, a cyborg, a robot?

What do you mean? I'm inclined to disagree, revolutions have worked historically we are not all that different now. If we are please explain.

Really, just share your opinion. Don't act like you have some secret knowledge.

Even though this is a site for philosophy you are being overly cryptic..... Like you know something.....

Everything is "secret" to the blind.
I already explained my signature.
Truly understand the significance of that signature and find a few others... game over.

The issues are;
1) Self-Harmony
2) Neutral Perception
3) Optimal Momentum

There is nothing you or anyone has ever done or tried to do that is not within their realm of concern.
Even the USA Constitution was founded very largely by those concerns. They merely missed a small point and issue.
Any more would be off topic.

Ok, so you know nothing out side of some words of hope? Just explain your signature. We'll let Scott decide what's off topic.

Quite seriously, if I knew even where to begin, I probably wouldn't be here on this forum.
The ability to communicate is a very serious issue involving, not merely the writer, but the reader.
When and dubiously if, I can ever find the right words to relay "The Understanding", the game would be over.
It really doesn't take that many. But it does take some deep understanding (not suited for most internet forums).
Until then, everything is merely more noise.

My apologies for not being good enough for you... just yet.

Ah.... But here's the conundrum. optimal momentum is relevant to self-harmony, which, put in a strenuous activity, can fog neutral perception.

True, they all would detract from each other if not kept balanced by the requirement of each.
Optimum momentum cannot be achieved if Neutral perception is the king. Self-Harmony cannot be maintained if Optimal momentum is the king. The harmony is the balance of the other two.

It is fundamentally based on the "black-box" model of;
1) inputs (the perceptions)
2) outputs (the influence - momentum)
3) function (the inner harmony of responses)

James S Saint,

How about this, you tell me where you heard about this stuff from (your signature and "the understanding") that's a good start.
