EDITOR’S NOTE: This book is a non-partisan, pro-democracy, anti-racist effort to promote common sense and heal divisions among people. It advocates both ideas and courses of action, the most newsworthy being advocacy for a Constitutional Amendment — The Happiness Amendment.
Cave Logic &
The Pursuit of Happiness
A DO-IT-YOURSELF GUIDE TO FIXING WESTERN CIVILIZATION
A Paleo Reboot of Common Sense, Natural Rights and American Democracy, featuring the launch of the Happiness Amendment
About this book
Cave Logic & The Pursuit of Happiness is an adventure of ideas from prehistory to the future. It is a book of applied philosophy with three goals:
1) Discover your natural self and nourish your innate leadership potential. Practice common sense and better understand yourself.
2) Learn to understand different people and how to collaborate with them. Person-to-person socialization is the key to healing divisions between factions. Communication builds community.
3) Refresh the national mindset with a strong dose of the Spirit of ’76 by getting the essence of the Declaration of Independence into the Constitution. This would remind the government that We the People are the source of the Constitution’s legitimacy, and it is the job of the government to “effect our safety and happiness” -- or else. This is the idea behind the Happiness Amendment, which consists of these two familiar sentences, modified only to achieve gender neutrality by replacing men with people:
THE HAPPINESS AMENDMENT
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all
people are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among People, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Cave Logic and the Pursuit of Happiness is a Do-it-Yourself guide in 3 parts: Cave Logic, Synapse and Happiness Amendment.
