(work in progress)
These days, my reading has been very wide ranging all over in hopes to get a high level view of the human condition.
Once in a while, something interesting pops up...
I asked myself, "what is life from the perspective of a rational animal?" I supposed that it was a series of problems that needed to be solved.
First ingredient...
I came across a thing called cynefin, whereby it's basically typology of problems. There are 5 types, disorder, chaotic, simple, complicated, and complex. It's best to understand it in terms of causality.
For the simple and complicated problems, cause leads to an effect. In simple problems, the cause and effect are easy to see, whereas complicated problems, the cause and effect are more difficult to see. The solution for simple problems is to categorize, and the solution for complicated problems is to analyze.
For chaotic problems, the cause may not have an effect or is not perceivable. The only solution here is to act and the results are unpredictable either in foresight or in hindsight.
For complex problems, cause and effect concept breaks down, not because there is no relationship, but that is happens so close together, that it's no longer a useful framework. An example of this is social networks.
Then there is disorder where everything is just a mess. The interesting thing here is that disorder is in between simple and chaotic problems.
Second ingredient...
Next comes normative ethics. The question of "how should one act?". There are 3 major schools or 'styles' of normative ethics. Deontology, teleology, and virtue ethics.
For deontology, the right behavior is according to the adherence to rules or obligations.
For teleology, or consequentialism, the right behavior is in the consequences of difference actions.
For virtue ethics, the right behavior is in the principles of that very person.
Third ingredient ...
MBTI temperaments as NP NJ SP and SJ.
The N and S preference is about how we collect data in the world. N function is about deriving patterns between things and the S function is about the things, or data points themselves. Given a few object on a table, N will try to create a story, S will try and create a list.
The J and P preference is essentially about patience in decision making. Js will want to decide quickly, whereas Ps will want to decide later in light of more information.
The first mixture
Cynefin and ethics
chaotic -> ACT, sense, respond -> deontology
simple -> sense, CATEGORIZE, respond -> deontology
complicated -> sense, ANALYZE, respond -> teleology
complex -> PROBE, sense, respond -> virtue ethics
The second mixture
Add in MBTI temperament
chaotic -> ACT, sense, respond -> deontology -> SP
simple -> sense, CATEGORIZE, respond -> deontology -> SJ
complicated -> sense, ANALYZE, respond -> teleology -> NJ
complex -> PROBE, sense, respond -> virtue ethics -> NP
The tasting
