What One Purchases
in Reading
"Every philosophy, whether grandly proclaimed or quietly kept, is in truth a psychological framework."
The Framework in Essence
01Agency and Sovereignty of Will
Do what you believe to be right, and let your Will be satisfied.
02Cost as the Price of Meaning
What we suffer for, we protect. That which costs nothing shall be treated as nothing.
03Truth as Hygiene
To lie to oneself, even once, is to poison the well forever.
04Duty and Oath
What you give freely today may bind you tomorrow. Let it bind you gladly, or not at all.
05Sanctifying the Self
It is right and proper for a person to take what is profane in themselves and make it holy again.
06Respect is Taken, Never Granted Freely
The world respects only what it must. Respect is granted when right action and sound principles allow for no other outcome.
07The Old Gods of Reason and Logic
These remain our greatest allies against chaos.
08Defiance of Entropy
That which erodes shall find me standing against it, even if I cannot win.
