Most religions can be seen as a social technology that enable cooperation, ultimately enabling a society to be able to better preserve and defend itself. First, we will analyze Christianity as a social technology that enables a more efficient economy. Second, we will make an association between deontological ethics and autonomic systems, and attempt to illustrate consequentialism as an awareness of autonomic functions. Third, we will attempt to create a comprehensive philosophy that contains both the deontological ethics of religious thinking and the consequentialism of scientific thinking, ultimately to present a modern social technology that could be a replacement for both types of thinking. Christianity is pushing forward the image of a new type of person: Jesus Christ. What are the characteristics of Jesus that sets him apart from the old image? It is the belief that the dominant organizing force of a society can be compassion instead of fear (and the ability to instill it). From t...
I believe the software industry needs a word to differentiate the design of performant software from the inside (or bottom up) versus the outside (or top down). There is a heavy focus on algorithms and data structures in the software engineering world, which is great if you are designing performant software from the inside out (bottom up). But this will only be performant so long as there is one monolithic structure. As soon as there are competing components (or silos of functionality) that need to integrate together, the integration of the components often becomes a performance bottleneck. And this phenomenon is unavoidable because there is a limit to any human's working memory. Large problems are broken down to smaller problems so that they can be more easily grappled with. But the choice of how things are isolated often can incur a performance gain or loss that is just as significant in magnitude as choosing the right data structures and algorithms. And it is this way because da...
