Credit by Consciousness

Is there more potential credit to be gained, with more consciousness?

As I attempted to derive the connection between blame and consciousness, it seems suiting to cover the virtual opposite of “blame”, being “credit”. I considered “blame” to be basically the insinuation that someone should have taken an alternate action. So let's consider “credit” to be basically the insinuation that someone did take a correct or positive attributing action.

As for the meaning of “consciousness”, I’ll use my understanding, which is basically comprehending awareness, in general, or of any given factor and how that factor interacts relatively to other factors.

3 main concepts related to “blame” that perhaps are the same for “credit”.
  1. Degree of “blame” seems to be virtually proportionate to the estimate, by the individual at blame, of the outcome occurring.
  2. Potential scenarios for “blame’ seem to increase, as conscious awareness increases.
  3. Accuracy of causing intended scenarios to occur, also increases.

1. Regarding someone’s estimate of the outcome, this seems rational for “credit” as well, since if the person had estimated a higher likeliness of the positive result. They should be credited and held more responsible for intentionally (if 50%+) causing the result. If the person had made a lower estimate (of >50%), and the results were unintentional, then it seems they should receive less credit, as they acted without the belief that the positive outcome would occur. For eg, someone throws their toque on the side of the road, with an estimate of 5% chance that a homeless person will need it to survive, + an estimate of 94% that it will remain litter. If the outcome is indeed that the toque ends up helping someone, then that person should be credited less than someone who intentionally ives their toque to someone, with an estimate of 95% that it will help them.

2. As for potential scenarios to get credit, (in the same way as blame) more conscious awareness of circumstances, should allow more numerous occasions that the person is capable of making an estimate of the result of their actions, rather than acting subconsciously and obliviously to the result of their actions. With a lack of conscious comprehension, comes a lack of ability to estimate differing results caused by actions. With more estimates, by the function + allowance of consciousness, comes more potential scenarios for rational credit.

3. Besides an increase of scenarios for potential credit, conscious comprehension also allows a more accurate estimate of outcome. With a more accurate estimate, it is more probable that the individual will cause the preferred outcome. When someone comprehends more interactions of cause and effect between variables, they are more likely to accurately cause an outcome for which they can be credited.

As a positive contrast to the negative, “credit” and “blame” seem to be factors to be put into the variable of; others insinuation for someone's action. The overall concept, is the insinuation being a result of someones estimate of the outcome caused by their actions. Both “blame” and credit” seem to follow the same relation to conscious awareness and comprehension. More consciousness means more potential scenarios, and higher accuracy of causing the preferred result.
