inner domain, goals are self created. mastabatory fantasies. for example. rewards in sub domains, social physical emotional. , some hard wired food, temp. etc. a continum of hard to self imagined. . adapted for the outer domain, I environment, .
outer domain subject to laws of physics . inner domain , biologically yes, but ghosts, beliefs self deception and delusion, and most importantly hope, all actualized.
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 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.
hmmm.. have to think about this.. it is long accepted that the god myth satisfies some long standing internal need humans have for either defense against death or need for purpose.. no doubt actions governed by satisfying that pleasure center... the key question is where inside and outside intersect and cannot both be satisfied together.. that is where game theory is relevant I think.. how to compromise on satisfying hopes, and satisfying reality when trying to outsmart a charging lion..
LMK
No need to compromise some in the group that follow delusions get eaten . Consciousness is the boundary
but there is still a game theory question.. will append it to earlier email so martin can chime in..
other things..
I. is dinner with woody and dali lama on may 19th fixed? I will be coming in to town May 26th and may 27th is my birthday.. it would be a wonderful birthday gift to be involved.. otherwise, unless you want it to be the two of them I might even consider flying in on redeye just to be there for afternoon..
la. We are thinking of doing a dialogue, a la chomsky, with the Dalai Lama.. would you be willing to ask him if he would be willing to do it with me before 3000 people on stage, perhaps this fall? (would you be willing to fly him?)
if we need to entice Jane Goodall to do a dialogue in 2016 or 17 would you be willing to kick in any money for her probably largish fee?
Would you want to have lunch with Michael Shannon and me sometime? he lives in NYC... I saw iceman after you recommended it.. good.. creepy..
