From: Lawrence Krauss cza To: "jeffrey E." <jeevacation®gmail.com> Cc: "Nowak, Martin" ctl lawrence Krauss Subject: Re: currency question Date: Fri, 15 May 2015 21:05:56 +0000 just to provoke some input from Martin.. and it may make a face to face meeting worthwhile... my question is, if one accepts that there are two (inside vs outside), conflicting forces at work.. the game theory issue then becomes how to couple these and derive optimal solutions..

It makes little sense to apply an evidenced based system in the inner domain, it is comprised of a non cummative li grouping, . no symmetry for example. however the image of your fantasy girl conjured up while you pleasure yourself , is a real to the innner self as the cigarette you smoke afterwards is to the outer domain. Inner rewards would have been subject to natural selection, so that random killing in the inner world would unlikely be adaptive. acts of inner revenge however could blow off steam and save outer world consequences. religion acts as one of many proposed belief systems to help construct an inner life. where the unpowerful are effective. it makes as little sense for it to be a logic system operating in the outer domain as little as a science based view on the evidence of my fantasy girl. you should find some highly correlated inner and outer rewards but as many uncorrelated. depression might mean ignoring the outside altogether, retreating into an inner self in order not to do harm. the inner life should be normally distributed over subdomains as well as a homgenious popualtion . so that some in the group receive social pleasure, some only physical. etc. In the game theory analogy, the reserves both in the inner and outer domain play a substantial role. . there are many experiments that show that a rational being modulates his reserves so that they last a long time. only in certain circumstances can you access these reserves on purpose. jet pilots told to hold their hands in EFTA00703122 ice water , until they can't take it pull out in under 150 seconds. however if you tell them to last for 180 to make the grade 80 percent are capable. . hope meanining purpose. all self created fictions that are selected for.. there are outward signs , confidnece , smiling , that create an outer group; religioin is a logic system that intersects that of science .ie being kind, has benefits in outer as well as inner domains - as goals are aligned, believing that mohammed rode to heaven on a horse. is ok, if it satiates the inner self. reduces blood pressure, but unable to withstand the rigor of the outer mathematics. and is dangerious but so is that blonde, girl that always does as she is asked in your fantasy, . uh oh, you actually married her.
