A significant detriment to the principles offered here is prejudice. If we
are to be really prepared to support these principles, we must have a means to
overcome prejudice. That means is knowledge of the
foundations of prejudice and how to use that knowledge to overcome it.
In keeping with the principle of sentient sovereignty, this is personal
knowledge - knowledge one can use oneself - not knowledge one can control others
with.
A prerequisite for understanding these intra-organismic and inter-organismic
issues is understanding the structural elements of mobile organisms in their
environments - the philosophy of mobile life. The perspective for these views is informed by the study of general
semantics, which commands us to consider the organism
in its environment as a whole, and the philosophy of
simple life (working drafts).
One of my aims here is to develop a comprehensive
organized view of knowledge - informed by, but unencumbered by, conventional
views.
