In short, scrutinizing the scientific bases that cement the arena of social and economic performance provides us with privileged ideological guidelines.
Let’s break down the building blocks. From birth we are faced with a strange context that we seek to decipher with the perceptive instruments that nature has given us. Mainly, we make artificial maps in the mind to find meaning. As we grow and learn, these maps obtain consistency based on our own experience and that of others, forming individual and collective belief systems; the greatest practical value is obtained by corroborating such systems with the experience of other minds, but our perception is always necessarily subjective. This consideration reveals the first crucial foundation: we are architects of our own world.
On the other hand, precisely attached to what we can observe and validate, we find consistent causal (cause-effect) patterns that speak to us of apparent purposes. In other words, starting from an initial base, modal systems emerge that share trends; a mathematician would call it the first derivative. For example, all genes seek configurations that allow them to survive and reproduce better; that is its biological goal, its first derivative, and its purpose. Humans, as composite organisms, are shaped by different modal systems (like genes) with different predispositions. If we explore endearing levels, we find one of the most fundamental, the interconnection we have with life itself since its emergence and in all its manifestations. In other words, we are part of a team larger than ourselves as individuals, society, or the species we call life. And that directly and imposingly influences all our thoughts and actions.
We are conditioned to protect life and that which shares that momentum. For example, we are all motivated by the possibility of defending the planet; no one likes the idea of its destruction now or in the future. Why do we care what will happen to this world even if we no longer have to see it? Because we are correlated with a much larger phenomenon than ourselves.
