- Tenet, The First : There is no soul or anything resembling it. Man’s consciousness is purely a function of the physical interactions between itsy bitsy thingumajigs in his brain. Women are of course beyond belief.
- Corollary, The First: If we are indeed entirely physical entities, every aspect of us is subject to the vagaries of the environment, and I don’t mean the weather. Even our thoughts, decisions and ideas are a function of the physical state of the brain; which in turn depends on its previous state, and so on…ad infinitum.
Old Corollary always was a presumptuous kid.- Corollary, The Second: Physical dependence of mental states eliminates free will and choice. We become automata. The nice thing is that this solves the human/AI debate rather neatly. And neatness isn’t one of the Ten Commandments. Or is it? Maybe it was put into the fine print.
- Corollary, The Third: Lack of choice leads to the trivialisation of all moral and behavioural questions, the negation of all that’s good and bad and an emptiness of tautological dimensions.
- Footnote, The Rescuer: Being a philosopher, I can’t afford to resolve everything in a couple of paragraphs, so I resort to hierachial reductionism…or some such anachronism (notice my fondness for words I can’t pronounce). At a fundamental level, everything can be explained in principle by physical laws, notwithstanding the Uncertainty Principle. Still, one can try to explain stuff at higher hierachial levels. For instance, I can try to explain human behaviour on the basis of behavioural patterns, analogies and edifying assumptions, rather than interactions between neurons in the brain. Phew! For a moment there, I thought I was out of a pastime.

Renzo, and most other individualists, admit that individualist anarchists and egoists will never be anything but a small minority of people. Because embracing truth and authenticity requires admitting all of the frameworks of morality, justice, solidarity, right and wrong, etc. you were raised with are all relative and made up. And that’s terrifying!
Anarchism, which is the natural liberty of the individual freed from the odious yoke of spiritual and material rulers, is not the construction of a new and suffocating society.’ It is a decisive fight against all societies-christian, democratic, socialist, communist, etc., etc.
Anarchism is the eternal struggle of a small minority of aristocratic outsiders against all societies which follow one another on the stage of history.”

And if the reward fails to satisfy your desire, then you’ll have no reason to do it again in the future.
Without all four, a behavior will not be repeated.’
Cue, craving, response and reward
