Three tests
===========
Achievement (success) scale after a task
Growth of compassion after a task
Change in sense of locus of control after a task (dominion, SDO, etc)
We will propose that how we see and treat the environment is highly correlated with how we see our own body (temple - but see Muir). Extend Costello (how we see animals affects how we see each other)
Group 1: must ask its right hand permission every time the mind wants it to do soemthing. Someone else (a confederate) will act on behalf of the hand (out of view, like Milgram). This will be our experimental control (we know how the hand will respond; the subject doesn't)
The Ss must achieve some well-known task, using a well known scale to measure progress.
Therefore, how the hand responds matters to "success". This will be our "mutual benefit" control (well, mutual agreement for now - consensus)
We will have subjects do the other hand too (left hand). This way we can use a "within group" variable (chirality) and a between groups variable (the hand's unknowable response). We can then swap which hand is controlled by a "no trespassing" owner (the Ss or a confederate). And the Ss won't know.
Other scales: we will also do a test that measures "other compassion" (see scales) against a separable concept (for discriminant validity and independence of observations). We will also do a test that measures any change (perturbation, interruption) in the sense of locus of control (see scales)
Assumptions:
When the hand is fully compliant, success will be highest
When the hand is fully compliant, tested allo-compassion will be lowest (like an A1C test, over time, expectation of compliance not consensus)
When the hand is fully compliant, locus of control will exhibit least change
When the hand is least compliant, success will be lowest
When the hand is least compliant, tested allo-compassion will be highest (if success is decent too), else success will be low because the two cannot reach consensus
When the hand is least compliant, locus of control will exhibit most change (stress)
The Ss must achieve some well-known task, using a well known scale to measure progress.
Therefore, how the hand responds matters to "success". This will be our "mutual benefit" control (well, mutual agreement for now - consensus). For benefit to truly figure in, the hand must benefit in a non mental way.

Outline for Biophilia Article
Goal: follow the dissertation format to make a simple, quality article. Near goal is to "seed" curiosity for more. Far goal is to grow the theory like a live plant, vs. to nurture "information"
(from rhizome to flower).
The Gap or Problem:
Our beautiful planet is dying.
The Question:
Why is it dying?
Why are we just now noticing our planet is dying?
Why do some folks angrily deny it's dying, and demand more business as usual?
Proposal:
It's dying because of business as usual.
It's dying because, instead of a deep reverence for any kind of life, we hold only a deep reverence for human life, and not even that, but primarily for human works.
The Test or Trial:
Given a choice, would we sacrifice our own species to save our world? Do we love it this much? (enough to lay down our lives for our Companion, this planet we call home)
