共利哲舍 (Gongli Zheshe)

website·Indexed 31 days ago

https://z.baifenshi.com

A philosophical framework that applies natural science methods and basic assumptions to analyze human society. It utilizes a system of axioms and a superposition method to decompose complex problems into fundamental principles, such as the primary purpose of survival and the 'Happiness Principle' regarding the pursuit of pleasure and elimination of pain.

What's inside 共利哲舍

  1. Understand the evolutionary purpose of happiness and pain

    Happiness and pain are evolutionary skills that intervene in biological activities to align them with the 'first purpose' (survival and reproduction).

    • Happiness: Acts as a positive reinforcement, encouraging the repetition of behaviors that increase the probability of survival and gene propagation.
    • Pain/Fear: Acts as a negative reinforcement, encouraging the avoidance or reduction of behaviors that threaten survival.

    Because these responses have been refined through natural selection over vast timescales, following the drive to seek happiness and avoid pain is generally a highly effective survival strategy (estimated 95%+ accuracy).

  2. Understand the First Principle of Life: Survival

    The first principle of life is survival. All biological activities and behaviors are fundamentally driven by the goal of obtaining 'benefits'—defined as any condition that favors the continued existence of the organism.

    From a thermodynamic perspective, survival is a mathematical equation: if energy intake (income) exceeds energy expenditure (spending), the organism survives; otherwise, it dies. Because total stillness is effectively a slow death, life must actively engage with its environment to capture external energy to offset the inevitable entropy (decay) caused by the second law of thermodynamics.

  3. Understand the Gongli Philosophy framework for social analysis

    The Gongli Philosophy (共利哲舍) applies natural science methodologies to analyze human society. Similar to Euclidean geometry, it establishes a set of basic axioms (foundational assumptions) and uses them to derive solutions for complex problems and verify outcomes. This approach utilizes a 'superposition method' (叠加法), which involves decomposing complex issues into basic problems, defining foundational principles, and applying those principles to interact with and understand the world.

  4. Understand survival as the first principle of biological behavior

    Survival is defined as the primary purpose (first-order goal) of life. All other biological traits and behaviors are extensions of this fundamental drive for self-maintenance and continuity. This hierarchy of goals functions as follows:

    • First-order goal: Survival.
    • Second-order goals: Derived from survival, such as reproduction and cellular division.
    • Third-order goals: Specific conditions that facilitate second-order goals (e.g., seeking an optimal temperature to improve reproduction rates).

    Complex human attributes—including emotions, hatred, morality, cooperation, competition, and the pursuit of wealth, status, and knowledge—can all be traced back to this primary drive for survival.

  5. Understand the role of the pleasure-pain system in biological efficiency

    The pleasure-pain neural response system is designed to increase the efficiency (energy-efficiency ratio) of achieving a biological entity's 'primary purpose.' In the absence of this neural system, biological entities must rely on rationality and intelligence to maintain efficiency. Without both neural responses and rationality, behavior becomes random and dependent on luck to align with the primary purpose.

  6. Use Shiki-powered syntax highlighting in VitePress

    VitePress uses Shiki to provide syntax highlighting for code blocks in Markdown files. This integration supports advanced features such as line-highlighting to draw attention to specific lines of code.

  7. Understand virtual pleasure and pain generation

    The human brain can generate pleasure and pain in a vacuum through anticipation and simulation. Utilizing the mirror system and the ability to fictionalize, the brain produces neural feedback based on imagined scenarios (e.g., imagining the consequences of being caught cheating) or external signals such as movies, music, and other information inputs.

  8. Use Syntax Highlighting in VitePress

    VitePress provides built-in syntax highlighting powered by Shiki. This allows for high-fidelity code blocks with support for additional features such as line-highlighting.

  9. Distinguish biological activity from purely chemical activity

    The fundamental difference between life and non-life (purely chemical activity) is the outcome of random activity. In a biological system, random activities that accidentally result in conditions favorable for survival are preserved, allowing the organism to better adapt and persist. In a non-biological chemical system, random activities do not contribute to the 'survival' or maintenance of the entity.

  10. Define life as a self-sustaining system

    Life is defined not by its material components, but as a system of order built upon matter. While NASA defines life as 'a chemical system capable of Darwinian evolution that can maintain itself,' the core essence is the tendency toward self-maintenance. Life is the 'order' or 'system' itself (analogous to a geometric shape formed by atoms) rather than the atoms themselves. Death is the transition of this system from order to disorder, where the tendency for self-maintenance disappears.

  11. Apply the Law of Happiness to decision making

    The Law of Happiness can be used as a framework for rational decision-making:

    • Direction: Use the feeling of happiness as a goal and pain as a signal to pivot. For example, if a job causes consistent pain, moving away from it is a 'correct' decision based on natural law.
    • Integration: Some activities trigger both pain and pleasure (e.g., exercise causes fatigue/pain but releases dopamine). The superposition of these signals helps determine the 'correct' amount of an activity (e.g., moderate exercise).
    • Rationality: Human intelligence allows for the prediction of future outcomes. Rationality can be used to avoid actions that provide immediate pleasure but lead to significant future pain (e.g., avoiding infidelity to prevent subsequent emotional distress).

  12. Apply the Deterministic Principles of Gongli Philosophy

    Gongli Philosophy defines two core deterministic principles to guide decision-making and problem analysis:

    1. Survival Principle: The primary goal of life is survival. Problems should be observed from the perspective of self-interest; the correct action is the one that is most beneficial to the individual.
    2. Happiness Principle: Happiness is generally an indicator of correctness, while pain is generally an indicator of error. The objective is to pursue happiness and eliminate pain.
