What is Kirdomicism?

Kirdomicism is an action-centric philosophy of adaptive human intelligence. It looks at human beings and elevates them to be Action Beings — in any place and at any time.

Four centuries ago, Descartes placed human existence in the mind: I think, therefore I am. Kirdomicism comes to a different conclusion: I act, therefore I am. A human being exists and finds meaning through action. Kirdomicism is not against the mind; it relies on the mind less, because the mind lacks a stable direction of its own.

Three signature sentences

An action is worth what it changes, and good done never erases harm done.
Aligned minds give direction, but the individual mind changes it.
The gap between knowing and doing is closed by self-force.

Self-force is the inner power by which a person makes their own mind turn into action, especially against the easier path. Self-control restrains; self-force drives.

Where it comes from

Kirdomicism began in 2008, when its founder, Dr. Yanyong Thammatucharee, was SVP of accounting and finance at CMG. A dissatisfaction took hold: how hard real change is for working people. The philosophy grew from there, developed over eighteen years alongside full-time professional work.

As an accountant, he sees the world through a ledger. Kirdomicism records actions, keeps good and harm in separate accounts, and never lets good erase harm.

The five principles

Kirdomicism rests on five principles of adaptive intelligence.

Anxergy

The healthy concern that tells you something needs your response, turned into the energy to act and follow through.

Exdysivity

Living in harmony with how nature and reality really work: their logic, their beauty and their constant change.

Dexterience

Knowledge that has become real skill through practice, reflection and self-forced action.

Avalremy

Deciding what matters most before you act: judging the value of an action by what it will change.

Ankamayat

Letting go of what pulls the mind, then forcing oneself to act, so that the good one does keeps spreading.

Ankamayat (pronounced /un-kam-ma-ya:t/) is the enhanced, action-driven development of Atammayata, the teaching of Buddhadasa Bhikkhu, which remains its origin. It replaces Atammayata among the five principles. Why a new word →

The 12 Big Questions

Our concern reaches as wide as the twelve Big Questions, from our own growth to the world. Whenever an action can create Avalrem, we should consider taking it; and when we must choose, we choose the highest Avalrem first.

The Kirdomic Book answers each question in its own chapter, and the 100 Kirdomic Cards help turn them into actions.

Distinctive terms

Kirdomicism needs its own words. A few of the most distinctive:

Foreality

The progressively refined capacity to see a situation as it really is, and where it is likely to lead, before acting.

Unknowneology

Kirdomicism’s acceptance of the Unknown: what cannot yet be answered is accepted as open, without stopping action.

Kirdaxia

The state of supreme human intelligence that foresees and knows how to respond to emerging situations without falling into suffering; the ultimate meaning of life in Kirdomicism.

Avalrem

The unit of action value: what an action changes, by its direction (benefit or harm) and its reach (from one person to the world). Not a currency.

Thinking Shield

A trained inner filter that stops the mind replaying what hurts it, so that it can meet what comes next.

The practice

Buddhism trains the mind through meditation. Kirdomicism trains action through daily practice, starting with the body.

The Doors of Action

Eyeshow we look at people

Voicewhat we say, and how

Handswhat we touch, make and give

Movementhow we carry ourselves and where we go

Mindthe thought behind them, one door among five, not their master

The Reckoning, every day

Intendin the morning, commit to one deliberate action and name who it should reach.

Act and recordcarry it out by self-force, then record it honestly, including any harm.

Learnin the evening, ask: What did my actions reach today, and what will I write next?
