Ideology is like the system of numerals used. Rome used roman numerals. Have you ever used roman numerals? Forget about multiplication, even basic addition and subtraction is a pain to do.

Since upgrading to the modern numeral system with zero along with other benefits we can do calculus with challenge now. While our numeral system can be better, we are leagues ahead because of it when compared to prior systems. Because of it we can go to space. Things that would have been practically impossible with past numeral systems. I read an article on someone who managed to play factorio on floppy disks. Doable but insane.

What I mean to say is this. Science is holding society back. Yes it is monumentally better than past systems. Yes it still barely works. Well it does what it is supposed to do at least. Which is to be objective. I read somewhere that objectivity in science is to be observable, measurable, and recordable. Is consciousness objective? No. Well psychologists try. They(behaviorists) try to call it an illusion. To call it a lie. As if we are not conscious but rather it is a construct. And can you blame them? The consciousness is not objective. It is unscientific in nature. So these scientists attempt to shut it down. They call it a lie. Like religion did to science so long ago. Despite consciousness being an obvious fact that I hope everyone goes through, got shut down. Like it does not exist.

What is the problem with this? So what? Who cares about consciousness? Good question. First and foremost to state the obvious, calling consciousness a lie is like sayingthe earth is flat. Just need to make that clear. It is even worse than that because the slightest amount of introspection will tell you the truth. They have no excuse. Besides their ideology being broken.

My second point is that science is not fully deprecated. It is still highly useful for the true science fields. For biology, physics, and such. Not for psychology though. Let the scientists study the physical world. The only scientific side of psychology is neuroscience and that amounts to little to explaining human behavior. Do not get me started on statistics and probability. So science 2.0 is not that well labeled. It might be more accurate to call it the anti science, or the arts and humanities. I am not focusing on the true sciences but the make believe ones.

As for who cares about consciousness? Maybe not true scientists, ignore quantum physicists trying to explain consciousness with quantum physics. But for nearly everyone who writes about people. Artists. Business. And I would like to add that it is also the consumers and those who are affected by such decisions.

Mental health problems are rampant. The solution is to fill people up with medication as psychologists try to figure out what methods actually work to combat such issues, not even understanding the issues themselves. On the other hand, science is heavily invested in while the arts and humanities are shrunken.

My proposed system is to expand the humanities. Build clinical humanities. Make branches of humanities to solve the issues of people. To improve psychology. Whether fiction or nonfiction. Autobiographies or memoirs. Whether journals or diaries. Do not forget drawings. There is a lot to psychology besides the firing of neurons.

While thinking of critiques the audience may have, I have thought of one. It is logic vs emotion. While both are important, emotion is more important. You can explain to someone why something is good for them. But if you were able to resonate with them, that would become much more effective. So I would like to explain a concept I call resonance. The purpose of logic is to resonate with emotions. That and justification. Justification is out of the bounds of this post so I will focus on explaining resonance. The general idea is that it is not important how how logical you are, but if you resonate with the audience. To a certain degree, everyone is logical. Interpretation is king. This was the model of sophistry. To manipulate the truth. Ok I should also get into the truth.

I will quickly get into objective vs subjective truth as logic relies on it. Without going into too much detail, words cannot encapsulate objective truth, they can get close but are not perfect at finding the objective truth. Humans therefore can only describe their subjective experience using a limited flawed vocabulary hoping that the recipient can convert and interpret their logic correctly into feelings. Emotions.

I am planning on making further blog posts discussing such topics in more detail, like free will and autonomy vs conformity.

But logic is not the truth but rather a method of quantifying the truth. Turning feelings into symbols and vocals. When you are hungry, the word hunger does not appear in front of you. You do not hear hunger. You might hear your stomach rumble. Maybe you just ate but sugar feels appealing but you know that you should not eat. Maybe you are actually bored but want to eat to pass the time.

I could use all the words and logic to explain things to people. If they wish to misunderstand, or just do not have the capacity to understand, then it becomes useless. I am not a linguist, I do not know the terminology they use. I can only hope the recipient, you, understands what I mean to say.

Getting back to subjective science, or science 2.0 or anti-science, choose your pick, the important thing is to understand people. For example in clinical humanities, you might combine drawing, art, journaling, and literature to understand people. To resonate with them and find what resonates with them. I have noticed that reading some books gives words to my feelings. To experiences that I cannot word. Or even begin to describe, others have done so. Of course it is not the same. Sometimes I conform to their experience and thereby make my experience seem like theirs when it really is not. There are some popular books and some not so much. It is not the best to force people to read such. But to help them and find out what works for them. There is plenty of room in humanities. There is also room for AI. Roleplay can tell a lot about a person.

To close this off I would like to leave the following remark. There is a whole wide world out there, and calling it an illusion will not help anyone. After all ideologies are like numerals, and even though zero does not exist, the concept of zero is groundbreaking, worldbreaking even.
