Using the H I Mind Model to Answer Difficult Questions.
What is Noble Philosophy?
The Hemispheric Intelligence (HI) Mind Model provides the theoretical underpinnings for the Noble Mind Project.
The H I Mind Model presents a new series of insights into human psychology, behavioural evolution, and the capabilities that all humans have access to through the structure of the brain. The H I Mind Model also presents new opportunities to ask difficult questions (eg. what actually is human nature?) and to seek to provide answers that extend our knowledge. That growing collection of research, insight, and application of ideas based on the H I Mind Model is called the Noble Philosophy.
Basics
Noble Philosophy begins with a simple observation: what has allowed humanity to flourish is not physical dominance, but behaviour. Our capacity to care, to cooperate, to be fair, truthful, and compassionate is what most clearly defines us as human. These behaviours can be observed, practised, and strengthened. They shape our relationships, our cultures, and our sense of meaning.
The Noble Mind Project proposes a way of understanding these behaviours through the H I Mind Model. This model explores how patterns of human behaviour may have evolved and how they continue to shape our experience of the world. Within it are qualities that reflect humanity at its best: selflessness, generosity, kindness, compassion, humility, and the ability to experience unconditional love. These are not abstract ideals; they are lived capacities that can guide how we think, act, and relate to one another.
Noble Philosophy is not a new philosophy competing with those that came before it. Rather, it is a practical orientation that draws upon what many philosophies already recognise: that human flourishing depends on how we treat ourselves and others. Noble Philosophy does not seek to argue against existing traditions. Instead, it offers a way to apply what we already know about human goodness in clear, grounded, and actionable ways.
At its heart, Noble Philosophy is concerned with practice. It seeks to translate insight into lived experience, and theory into ways of being. By consciously choosing behaviours aligned with our most humane capacities, we can deepen our self-awareness, strengthen our self-respect, and improve how we communicate with and support those around us. In doing so, we not only improve our own lives, but also contribute to healthier, more compassionate communities.
