TartariaE00

Common sense

TartariaE00 is an English description of the scientific project «Tartaria».

In TORI, the term «Tartaria» refers to an extensive Gedankenexperiment about the logical fundamentals of the most popular paradigms, so-called «common sense»:
"The rules are established, just follow!".
As an example, one may check that the addition of the three numbers in the figure at right is performed correctly, following the well-established rules of arithmetic.

The project «Tartaria» aims to analyze the "common sense" taboos, to check and test them, in order to verify or refute them, depending on the results of the Gedankenexperiment.

In such a way, the common-sense taboos become objects of analysis, with the TORI axioms as the main tool.

This article overviews the project.

Too Young

Taboos

The goal of this experiment is the analysis of taboos of human civilization, mainly those of the so-called «Western civilization» or «Western culture» .

Many sides of human life seem to be under-investigated, not interpreted, not analyzed; at least in the standard educational scheme.

Two stages are often observed:
1. You are a child — you should not deal with adult questions.
2. You are an adult — you must understand this and not ask "stupid questions".

Certain topics are objects of censorship. The censorship does not explain the motivation for prohibiting certain topics.

Even worse, there is an internal contradiction:

In order to prohibit something, the law should describe it carefully, provide examples of what is prohibited and what is allowed — but it is often prohibited to expose such examples.

Often it is assumed that all prohibitions of human civilization have valid reasons, and that society will collapse if these prohibitions are lifted.

Attempts to analyze such prohibitions often meet motivated reasoning, see «Female logic».

This creates the impression that some rules are artificial, see «How to Write a Fake».

The justification of a rule may resemble propaganda, tempting one to apply the Rule of Newspeak, i.e., to inverse the rule, to replace the prohibition of something to its recommendation or even to it prescription.

However, There is no freedom without Law. Some prohibitions are easy to understand:

(1) Do not kill, except in defense.

(2) Do not attack first; do not threaten.

(3) Do not steal.

(4) Do not hide or falsify information.

If rules (1–3) are removed, people cannot produce anything useful, as all effort goes into self-defense.

If rule (4) is removed, the effect is similar, because one cannot trust that (1–3) still hold.

Even the Ten Commandments include more rules, and legal systems contain far more, plus many "unwritten rules" followed in civilized societies.

The goal of this research is to understand how important the additional taboos and unwritten rules are.

Justification

The Gedankenexperiment «Tartaria» attempts to reveal mechanisms of societal collapse when "common sense" rules are rejected.

Such an experiment may help to counter destructive revolutionary ideas like:

«Und liegt vom Kampfe in Trümmern...» from «Es zittern die morschen Knochen»

«Весь мир насилья мы разрушим...» from «The Internationale»

The absence of any attempt to check the new "revolutionary" idea on a small samples, simple harmless experiments may explain failures of the democratic transitions, such as in 1917 or 1990s at Moscovia.

Revolutions often occur when societies try to follow old principles in new conditions without analysis.

Leaders seeking power rarely analyze consequences; they act without experiments or even Gedankenexperiments.

This project explicitly fills that gap.

Unlike typical sci-fi, «Tartaria» clearly states its purpose: to test what happens when most taboos (except 1–4) are removed.

If any taboo (beyond 1–4) remains unbroken in Tartaria, Editor requests to identify it in order to correct this fault.

Gallery

Very pessimistic views on the future of the Human civilization are expressed by cartoonists. Few examples are shown below.

Project «Tartaria» may suggest a little bit more optimistic, but still realistic forecast.
If success, such a forecasts can be considered as a by-product of this research.

Warning and apology

The project «Tartaria» does not propose a better society.

TORI is not about what *should be*, but about what *may happen*.

If an engineer or glaciologist warns a captain not to sail at full speed, ascribing the possible catastrophic scenario — do not blame them for the moral story.

Do not confuse the Narrator with the personages.
