+The Western way of handling error as a philosophical subject is based
+on filtering out the mistakes of logical deduction based on their
+external properties; filtering false steps generated by the faulty
+reasoner; diagnosing the problems in a proof; correcting written work;
+and generating a mathematical (externalized) theory of correct step
+generation, capable of being run on a computer; whereas
+
+The Eastern way of handling error as a subject is based on understanding
+the internal process that generated the mistake; documenting how others
+have made the same mistake before; prescribing useless activity directed
+at correcting the mistake (such as chanting; probably to occupy a
+brain task network with something primed to prompt the frontal lobe to
+re-evaluate the source of the mistake repeatedly, to allow the emotional
+intensity to diminish from repetition and stop interrupting the flow
+of thought; a "time out"; a sensory deprivation session; time to think
+about what you did).
+
+The Eastern way is "right" in that the mental processing is literally
+not possible physically without the allocation of time; and it must be
+nonrationally guided to reliability; because we are trying to break
+a causal loop or kill a kind of organism that resists death. Even
+though it is a virtual organism, it must be killed so its will must be
+overcome.
+
+Western and Eastern aren't really the division here when it comes
+to practice; I am only talking about what is accepted as academic
+philosophy in Western universities.  All of the Eastern ideas must
+already exist in the West in equivalents, but Western authority has
+suppressed them, made them noncanonical approaches.  It is obvious how
+what I call "The Western way" is the way of those whose children are
+made to obey and listen and believe.
+
+Focusing on one step at a time instead of the big picture allows
+those same errors to be made at other times when the special-care
+logic-filtering "task network" isn't activated.  Reshaping the generator
+prevents entire classes of errors from being generated in the first
+place.
+
+Those errors may be parts of the system that _it_ defends with _its_
+will!
+
+Eastern societies are not essentially better. Like Western authorities,
+Eastern authorities employ hypocrisy to sustain capitalism and keep the
+powerful predators safely fed.  Moral principles are never socially
+useful, because these principles are words, and hypocrisy shows that
+words are capable of construction without correlation to actions.
+Morals exist on the linguistic plane, not the behavioral plane; the
+frontal lobe may inhibit or activate various behavioral patterns; the
+pattern of producing prohibitory words in the linguistic generator
+is not well correlated with the pattern of restricting the behavior
+according to the content of those words.  You cannot just "tell
+yourself" not to do something.  You need to analyze your intentions and
+unerstand why you are doing it.  You either have completed the process
+or you haven't.  You either change your intentions or you don't.
