About Me

IP
I was born in Poland and grew up in the USA. I am an ethical philosopher. My other main interest besides that is market economics. My main concerns as an activist are animal liberation and economic justice.

I am half way done with my book!

How to keep a population pacified, productive, and poor:
(Manipulator Level)
1. People want entertainment. Naturally, people use their intellects to create entertainment for themselves, but that takes effort.
2. Subsidize PASSIVE entertainment by  establishing and protecting the supply streams of highly refined entertainment with intellectual monopoly laws (aka intellectual ‘property’).
3. People indulge on easily consumable entertainment products because they require no intellectual effort — the more easily consumable they are, the greater the quantity in which they can be consumed.
4. Some people trade more of their labor for more income to indulge in more entertainment.
5. Increased supply of labor drives down the price of labor. However, at this point, those who are financially responsible can still manage with a lower income.
(Master Level)
6. Make personal credit readily available by using public resources to assist creditors with repossession of personal property and penalizing debtors.
7. Some people use credit to purchase even more entertainment products, and consequently they pay even more due to interest.
8. The debtors now must trade even more of their labor for income, driving down the price of labor further.
9. Some of those who were financially responsible to avoid working more are  now forced to trade more of their labor for income, driving down the price of labor even further.
(Sadist Level)
10. Make people dependent on their employers for medical care by not subsidizing medical care (unlike subsidizing entertainment and integrity), to make the whole population fearful and obedient.
11. Increased dependency on employers ensures that people keep working with minimal interruptions, stably maintaining downward pressure on wages.
12. At this point, there will not be enough financially responsible people who can avoid being trapped in subservience, making it quite impossible for them to free themselves and the rest of society from this cycle of pacification, productivity, and poverty.

I am so happy and excited to announce to you have i have started a new religion! It is called Godism, because it is a celebration of the exploration of being a god, not human, in this world. You can read my "Profession of Faith" in this Egora idea, and in a few short paragraphs it will give you a really good idea what Godism is all about!
https://egora-ilp.org/ideas/1ab/preview
But another really cool thing about Godism is that it is very much about free and decentralized creation of our culture and rituals under some simple core concepts. So for those to whom Godism sounds right, i invite you to join the Godism community in Egora and contribute your ideas about how we should proceed. We will share those ideas for our rituals at our first Formation of our Legion, coming soon in early May 🙂
I will be your Savior Lord Marshal, if you will be my Saviors 😉
A friend of a friend wanted to come up with a comprehensive definition for biological life. As a great philosopher, i figured i’d give it a shot in my spare time. So, here is what i got:
Life = chemistry with a recipe for self perpetuation

Now, this would actually include viruses, which biologists do not consider to be living, so an amendment can be added:
Life = chemistry with a recipe for self perpetuation that is not directly dependent on other life

The stipulation of directness is to acknowledge that life is very much dependent on other life, but viruses need host cells to reproduce, whereas indirect dependence allows for chemicals that other life synthesizes, including the dead flesh of other life that predators consume... But now, this leaves out parasites!

Or maybe viruses are life too?

Or maybe… living organisms are a higher echelon of life that has a separate definition not to be conflated with life…

Ok, here we go one last time:
Life = chemistry with a recipe for self perpetuation that is not directly dependent on other life (which excludes viruses), except life of an interdependent kind (for genetic recombining or sexual reproduction).

Additionally,
Living organisms = multicellular life
