Recent events in my life have led me to question a broad array of the terrible habits that are imported into our cognitive libraries when we undergo the processes of enlanguaging and enculturation. Two habits are particularly pernicious: post-hoc prosecutorial evaluation, and courtroom-mind. Both of these involve attempts to determine ‘who is responsible’ for what we generally ascertain to be wrongdoing, harm, ‘what isn’t supposed to be done’, and these habits set up a strange and highly defensible ‘economy of harms’ in consciousness. In this recording I examine a few of these problems, and explore the ‘virtue of nonevaluation’; effectively, the practice of suspending our inclinations to prosecutorial evaluations altogether.
