The Eightfold Path mistakenly assumes that no value can be maximal -- that any value can be desired too much. This is not true for values like extropy, intelligence, and justice.
The Eightfold
Path is a prescription
by
Buddha of a middle path said to lie between asceticism
and hedonism and said to end the suffering
caused
by desire.
- Right Understanding: see things as they
are.
- Right Intention: resolve to follow the
Path.
- Right Speech: abstain from deception.
- Right Action: practice compassion,
abstain
from aggression.
- Right Livelihood: choose work compatible
with
the
Path.
- Right Effort: promote good and avoid evil.
- Right Mindfulness: be aware of your
thoughts,
words,
and actions.
- Right Concentration: meditate on Oneness.
