The Philosophical Logic of Autonomy

Autonomy. The Ability to Self-Govern. The Conscious Practice of Self-Control. The Power and Authority to make choices confidently and without a shadow of doubt without the influence or advice of others. Autonomy is our relationship to Choice, which comes from our Authority.

The more choices an individual makes on their own, the more they receive “Proof of Concept.” It is our Autonomy and our Authority over Autonomy that gives us Proof of Concept. 

But where does Choice come from? 

Our Life Titans: 

Our Identity, Our Logic, Our Intuition, which are managed by our Ego (Conscious Awareness).

Every decision requires the consultation, unity, and balance of What we Want, What is Logical and Ethical, and what we Desire for our Future. Our Beliefs, however, often interfere with this process.

It is our Autonomy that gives us the ability and practice to choose with Independence, which builds up and accrues our Proof of Concept, reinforcing that we can choose and govern the Self. This is where Pride and Confidence and Self-Esteem comes from.

But how to decide? 

Our Identity tells us what we want and ensures that it is Ethical. 

“But it has to be Logical” says our Logic. Whatever we decide, it must make sense and “coincide” with our Beliefs. Beliefs are Logical Premise and have nothing to do with Faith or Gods. 

God is dead. Thus spoke Zarathustra. 

And it must align with our Goals, which is where our Intuition and our “Gut” steps in. 

The more we practice decision making, the more proof of concept accrues, the more autonomous we become.
