Moral Authority in Bubble World


Several months ago wrote about FBSC - Full Blown Seldon Crisis
about Hari Seldon, and Pycho-History, I was very non-specific about
it and so I will continue now to be,  However, I believe many people
will go along with the crisis part, and  will have their own opinions
about what that is.

But, I am on with this moral compass, and Donald Knuth, and an
algorithm for a moral compass app, in bubble world, which seems
almost essential .... and moral authority, what in the heck that might be
and how would you go about creating a " user friendly " , system based
on a  sound algorithm. ( what should I do now )

So I first need to address bubble world, where we are now.
The media has been able to increase separation in such a way,
as to have created minutely separate but diverging channels ,
the diverging channels being the basis of this blog and our existing
defacto bi-polar moral compass the issue of concern.

When this blog began, I had no real awareness of bubble
world, because it was mainly in it's infancy at that point,
but the pronounced evolution of these seperate but diverging
channels has created even more difficulty in terms of dialog and
reason,  a very touchy and disagreeable  situation.

So the key to the above mentioned algorithm is the idea
of moral authority and this relates directly back to the
notion of sovereignty.

So, to begin with, where does moral authority come from?
Well, the only source must be the individual.  But if you
compare morality to math ( which is a very curious but
interesting comparison ), then you see that in order for
moral authority to exist, it requires some efforts, some
training, and some direction.

My basic thesis which has been applied previously, especially
here:  21 Oh Man is that essentially our defacto moral
compass based on bipolar paradigm is not effective. Although
it seems to be okay for 3d space, but moral space must clearly
embrace more dimensions that 3.  And therefore requires something
based more on the multi-dimensional notion of virtue.

It's more complicated because there are more variables,
but it also strikes me that within the concept of virtue,
there is a simple and consistent algorithm, by which they are
connected.

Of course, I will let you know immediately when the outline for
this algorithm is complete ,  clearly it seems necessary when dealing
with the dysfunctionality created by bubble world. But I
feel it necessary to admit that we all come packaged with
such an algorithm,naturally built into to each of us, which is
key and at the heart of human survival. Essentially we are
such a device.
