The metaculture Webinar Series divides the philosophy into a series of presentations and discussions by category.
Introduction and Theology
Start with an introduction to the metaculture belief system, explaining the primary goals and reasons behind the undertaking. And since one of the primary goals is the resolution of cognitive dissonance caused by science and religion, the theological assumptions are a logical place to start.
The Religion page is basically the table of contents for this section. But we’ll just tackle the first few items without getting into the rest of it.
Empirical Ethics
The goal of our ethics and what humans consider "good" is encoded in our brains by evolution. Therefore, the pursuit of happiness and well-being is the objective goal of our actions.
The way we interpret these instincts becomes the generating equation that creates the pattern of our life choices.
- Utilitarian Ethics
- Happiness and well-being
- Quality of life versus quantity of life
- Abortion, Euthanasia and the Death penalty
Brain Basics
A crash course in how the brain works, with a particular emphasis on the hard problem of consciousness, the mind/brain relationship, and how understanding the activity of neural networks can help us understand our own behavior.
Brain Details
Exploring the other areas related to psychology, with a particular emphasis on the things that determine our life choices and behaviors.
