The Superorganismic Human offers a groundbreaking perspective on human morality and mind by framing human beings as members of imperfect superorganisms—social groups that resemble biological superorganisms like ant colonies, but without reproductive unity. These overlapping groups—families, communities, nations—shape our values, decisions, and moral judgments, often creating inner conflict and moral confusion.
Drawing from evolutionary biology and cognitive science, the book introduces a simple but powerful model of the mind: the backbone of the mind, composed of three components—desire, reasoning, and the pleasure gate. Desire drives us, reasoning plans our actions, and the pleasure gate filters which impulses become reality. Through this framework, the book explains how free will emerges, how morality functions, and how human identity is formed.
In an age of polarization and global complexity, The Superorganismic Human provides a scientific-philosophical lens for understanding the contradictions of modern morality—and ourselves.
