Kirdomicism Answers: Alternative Answers to Open Questions of Today and Tomorrow

Kirdomicism Answers offers alternative answers to ten open questions now under debate in psychology, accounting, management, computer science, philosophy and Buddhist studies. Each chapter states a research question as researchers frame it, reviews current findings and where they stop, and sets out the answer of Kirdomicism, an action-centric philosophy founded by Yanyong Thammatucharee, as numbered, citable propositions with a real-life case and proposals for testing. Topics include the intention–behaviour gap and self-force; AI and deskilling; valuing the impact of actions, with good and harm never netted and “mending” as a third category; why human value stays hidden; judging AI’s returns with an accountant’s eye; human–AI teams; whether AI can know; an action-based alternative for AI alignment, introducing “slaie” for target-driven machine deception; meaning when AI does the work; and Ankamayat, an action-driven development of Buddhadasa Bhikkhu’s Atammayata. The book contains 61 propositions and six predictions. It is a living book; new chapters will be released as new versions.
