Phylum: Mentascendancy
Other Phylum Members: Survival, Utilitry, Reproduction, Sociodominance
By “mentascendancy,” I mean basically the pursuit of meaningfulness. Utilitry is the endeavor to make survival easier and more secure–medicine, roadmaking, farming . . . Sociodominance my bias against politics causes me to consider not a form of mentascendancy; it’s a combination of most human beings’ need to either tell others what to do or be told what to do. (Warmaking, incidentally, can be either a form of sociodominance or of utilitry–or a combination of both.)

Class: Art
Other Class Members: Verosophy, Religion
Verosophy is the search for significant truths. So is Religion my bias against religion caused me to make verosophy the use of reason and one’s senses in the search for significant truths, and religion the use of reason and one’s sense’s and faith in things beyond reason and one’s senses in the search for significant truths.

Order: Literature
Other Order Members: Visimagery, Music, Viscerexpression
“Visimagery” is my term for visual art; by “viscerexpression,” I mean all forms of giving sensual pleasure other than literature, music and visimagery, such as cooking (where it is not a form of utilitry), perfume-making, and so on
