on Optimism Rather than Pessimism,

The Genius Machine Formula
The math formula for Genius Logic explains the “modular integrity shell” that steers us toward the life we want.
Introduction
Why are we here? What is the meaning and method of life? Why is there cruelty, poverty, and suffering?
These micro-essays are as quick, painless and inarguable as I can make them. They bridge the health sciences and thriving with everything else civilization has learned. After all, if you don’t have health, nothing else matters—“The well man has many dreams, the sick man has only one.”
All of us, everyone, wants happy, productive, optimistic people—even Communists, although they believe these qualities of life will come only in Utopia, after forcibly ridding the world of its sadism with sadism. But all cues and consequences of life already point eventually to what is best for all of us. We just don’t see it yet. We swim in a constant offer of humanist perfection. The math formula for Genius Logic explains the “modular integrity shell” of this offer that steers us toward the life we want:

Micro-Essay 15
The Baseline—The Universal Definition of
Innocence and Guilt
This universal definition of Innocence and Guilt is based on the welfare of the tribe. Is the individual hurting themselves or anyone else in the tribe, who are supposed to help the tribe, so that this disturbance upsets the optimal status of the tribe to survive and make the best of whatever comes next.
The key is that the civilized/socialized person must agree to control themselves and accept the material loss of any setback (no longer owning the best mousetrap?, they now own the second best mousetrap?), and accept that material loss because the tribe, the world, now is holistically better off because they now have the better mousetrap. Or service. Or entertainment. Or solution. Or understanding. The equation remains the same.
Einstein no longer has the best explanation on reality. Feynman does. Can Einstein take it? How does Einstein take it?
Material loss to the individual versus the holistic gain of the group.
The material loss to the individual can be material, or status, or embarrassment, or any other slight or loss. It depends on the personality of the group and the personality of the individual. Does the personality of the group lean towards appreciating everyone who has helped them? Or does the personality of the group lean towards jealous Schadenfreude that kicks you when you are down? The point is that the holistic gain of the group—and the individual who is still part of the group, and is therefore still gaining with them—that gain for everyone makes the loss of the individual less significant and, by category, a loss that should be considered “materialistic”, and most often is.
Can the individual live with their materialist loss while the group improves? How well can they do it? It’s much easier in a grateful group than a Schadenfreude group.
This can be hard. One part of the problem is our ego. The other part is our fixation on materialism. We can be highly materialistic beings. We curse our attachment to materialism. Leftism wants to purge us of our materialism. But we should not. Materialism is a key to our lived experience, our reality. Each individual (because of Form) weighs materialism differently. Less materialistic people tend to disdain people who are more materialistic. But often these people are also materialistic in a different way. Materialism is a need that falls in line with our need for return, reward, payment, incentive, being honored, acknowledged and dealing with replacement costs. Yes, these materialist attachments can be a hangup, a sticking point, that attaches a price tag, so that we will only give away so much free stuff before we put a stop to it because it is costing us too much. (A stop that Communism wants to crash through in order to further empower the elite).
But we have this materialist streak for a reason. What helps most is understanding why we hold this materialist need. The fact is that, on balance, we are so much happier and inspired with reward, payment, incentive and acknowledgement, and so much more gets done when we have a materialist streak than when we don’t. Yes, it hurts—but so much more gets done so much faster. And this is always good so long as it does not impede genius. Remember, the whole idea of Creation is to create—solutions, products, services, entertainment, understanding—and to contribute, appreciate, learn and enjoy Creation/existence as much as we are able. At least one of these categories, maybe all of them, is of interest to you. And you have no right to judge or curtail anyone else’s interest in any of the ones that may not interest you—unless their interest becomes excessive or addicted enough that it inhibits genius.
Nothing is wrong with anything until it impedes genius, even genius itself.
Again, back to Form, some of us are higher on the judgement of others spectrum. Those people are more prone to judge others, and they more enjoy judging others. But the baseline, the only rational metric for judging anything, is the Genius Logic.
Micro-Essay 16
The Values of America/The West
We hear a lot about some of us wanting to destroy the West and Western Civilization. Things like hard work, being on time, and a meritocracy that makes rich and poor, are said to be Western values that should be attacked and overthrown. If we look hard, Western values are universal values.
In Micro-Essay 16, I will define the values of the West’s opposite, Sadism. Here are the hard-won values of the West as I see them, and you will see that they are “holistic” in the sense that they are perfect, obvious and indispensable for any people anywhere:
1- The West seeks the Balance between elitist and populist. The West believes that all people matter, and the more you ignore anyone the more any society will develop a problem.
2- The West believes that the ultimate center point of human action is Genius; all things orient to our survival, thriving and genius.
3- The West believes leaders must serve only the holistic interests of the people, meaning FDNH to genius.
4- The West always believes we must Question Authority; this is why Westernism was a “march away from Kings and elitism.
5- The West believes all people have the potential to help society, and should be punished and forgiven in proportion to how much they help society holistically.
6- The West believes society must help those at the bottom of society, that the genius meritocracy “makes” poor because they are the least talented and ambitious about raising others’ quality of life holistically (while never harming genius).
7- The West believes in the Open Mind, where people should watch out for their prejudices in order to make no mistakes weighing evidence and results about what harms us, what harms anyone, rich, poor, or middle.
8- The West believes so much in the active and tireless act of learning that we must learn about anything and everything, especially about others, even the enemy, and to be honest with ourselves about what they want and if they might be more right than we are.
9- The West believes in First, Do No Harm so that we lead social progress and change through the obvious, self-evident actions of the Holistic Operating System— with education, results and data, not violence, criminality, hiding data, propaganda and lying.
10- The West believes realization and enlightenment are thoroughly enmeshed in an objective truth that is enmeshed in the structural forces of reality, existence and the universe itself.
11- The West believes that God created existence and that this freestanding scientific “perfect” humanism is evidence of the reality of God.
12- The West believes that, Yes, the world has problems and hardships, that people can be weak and ignorant and make mistakes, but we see the sense of remain trying to remain faithfully optimistic and constructive in all our actions, so that we try to hurt no one—ever—rather than criminally pessimistic and destructive and vulnerable to emotions that will probably lead us to hurting people or systems that are part of RE/FDNH/GM.
