Ancient Skepticism as Psychic Technology: Epoché, Ataraxia, and the Practice of Non-Identity
Abstract
Recovering Pyrrhonian skepticism as contemplative technology for psychic sovereignty. Traces the transmission lineage from Buddhist non-attachment practices through Pyrrho's encounter with Indian ascetics to contemporary ψ_V (void position) in the New Human Operating System. Drawing on Sextus Empiricus, Hadot, Nussbaum, Burnyeat, Frede, Vogt, Striker, Hankinson, Beckwith, and Kuzminski. Demonstrates structural isomorphism between ancient epoché and contemporary non-identity practices for resistance to semantic capture. Crimson Hexagonal Archive EA-NH-SKEPTIC-01 v1.0.
