- Bob Podolski’s “Bill of Ethics” (https://www.titanians.org/the-bill-of-ethics/) is presented as a mathematically-inspired, non-didactic framework that defines an ethical act as one that increases Truth, Love, Awareness, or Creativity for any party without decreasing those qualities for anyone, and recommends reducing the resources available to harmful entities rather than punishing individuals.

- The Titanian “Code of Honor” (https://www.titanians.org/titanian-code-of-honor/) and the concept of “Octologues” (7–8-person consensus groups) and “Holomats” (networks of Octologues) are discussed as scalable, hierarchy-free governance models; empirical studies cited claim communication overhead dominates above ~8 people.

- Participants debate the practicality of unanimous decision-making, noting that the entire city of Acapulco (~75 k–700 k people, sources differ) reportedly adopted the Bill of Ethics, seceded from Mexican authority, and handles crime by exiling offenders without traditional policing.

- Historical governance typologies are explored, including Gene Wolfe’s seven forms of attachment to authority (monarch, bloodline, state, legitimizing code, law, electors, abstraction) and comparisons to Japanese corporate unanimous-consensus culture and early Visa’s manager-less structure.

- Legal philosophy discussion contrasts modern IP and regulatory complexity with ancient precedents such as Roman trademark law and Anglo-Saxon restitution requirements, while acknowledging the role of test-case litigation in clarifying ambiguous law.

- A side thread examines translation errors in the Old Testament, exemplified by the Hebrew idiom “night door” being rendered as “eye of the needle,” and the collaborative work of a Jesuit priest and Orthodox Rabbi to catalog such discrepancies.

- Critiques of industrial-automation narratives are raised, dismissing the claim that “poverty is the leading cause of death” as simplistic (termed “SL-1” or shock-level minus one).

- A participant recounts using an Olympus IR500 camera with a concealed folding screen for candid social observation, coining “whackitude” to describe subtle environmental cues that highly sensitive individuals find disturbing.
