Welcome to Code Worlds of Wisdom (CodeWow)!
This site enables you and many like-minded people to get together and collaboratively develop new philosophy.
A code of behavior describes what a person, or moral agent, should do. A code can be as simple as Do unto others as you would have others do unto you, or as complicated as the complex set of laws and customs prevalent in a modern technical society. Here you can develop new codes that help to define values and achieve goals in the modern world.
Behavioral codes apply to agents of any type, from individual humans, or other sentient creatures, through societies and civilizations. Which moral and ethical codes do you choose? You can browse existing codes, mix and match, and create your own. Codes come in many different types. Relatively simple agents use built-in or hardwired behavioral codes, such as basic biological or computational creatures. More flexible architectures allow for the application of codes from other sources, such as the cultural behaviors in humans. Social norms include informal habits such as greetings, and more systematic developments such as religious or political traditions.
Now, with the development of today's technosocial civilization, we still mostly use ancient philosophical codes that stem from previous worldviews. Some of our biological and cultural codes can still serve us well, while others could use updating or replacing. CodeWOW lets us recreate new worldviews that suit our current age, and prepare us for the future.
