With  the  empiricist  psychology,  which  has  an  inexhaust-
ible Hterature,  we  will  not  deal  here,  since  it  is  of  no  philo-
sophical interest.  Like  all  empiricisms,  it  does  not  show
any  development,  but  only  the  superimposition  of  shghtly
divergent  tendencies.  From  the  psychology  of  Mill,  which
remains  confined  within  the  immediate  reahty  of  sensation,
we  pass  to  the  naturalism  of  Spencer  and  his  followers,  who
wish  to  base  psychology  on  biology  and,  applying  the
Darwinian  principle  of  evolution,  attempt  to  explain  Mill's
incomprehensible  law  of  association  by  an  appeal  to  the
biological  concept  of  hereditary  transmission.
It  is  more  interesting  to  examine  the  empiricist  ethics,
which  offers  an  excellent  means  of  measuring  the  mental
and   moral  level   of   the   school.
The  empiricist  ethics  starts  with  a  conception  of  man  as
an  egoistic  being  differing  hardly  at  all  from  the  brute,
and  either  denies  the  whole  moral  aspect  of  spiritual  life,
as  Bentham  did  when  in  a  moment  of  depression  he  described
virtue  as  an  ens  rationis,  or,  what  is  worse,  it  tries  to  extract
altruism,  meaning  virtue,  out  of  egoism,  by  simply  playing
with  the  association  of  ideas.
The  least  inconsequent  of  these  moralists  was  Bentham
While  he  did  not  deny  the  existence  of  that  sphere  of  activity
which  transcends  the  limits  of  the  individual,  he  neverthe
less  refused  to  see  in  the  tendency  towards  the  advancement
of  the  general  wellbeing  anything  more  than  a  controlled
egoism.  In  his  psychological  crudity  Bentham  went  in  search
of  a  quantitative  formula  of  pleasure,  which  steered  a  middle
course  between  the  maximum  and  the  minimum  ;  as  though
one  could  weigh  human  interests  in  a  pair  of  scales.

times the proportional increase of the revenue will
correspond to the increase of the rates ;

simplicity of superintendence, and the smaller
number of controversies ;

3d. The greater possibility of farming them out
on contract, to the local governments or to private
individuals, without incurring any considerable risk ;

4th. The encouragement to production which
results from the fixed or less variable character of
such imposts, and in particular of certain forms of
the same ;

5th. The greater openness and publicity of a sys-
tem which does not depend upon the verification
of certain facts, constituting more or less uncertain
indications of wealth, but which taxes it directly,
and at fixed periods calls for a definite proportion
of the wealth itself.
Against direct taxes may be adduced :

1st. The insufficiency of their total product in
comparison with the needs of modern budgets ;

2d. The trouble which is caused especially to
the smaller contributors by being inexorably re-
quired to pay, at fixed epochs, relatively large
sums of money ;

3d. The injustice of a fixed payment at the be-
ginning of a fiscal period, notwithstanding the
eventual shrinkage of the property taxed ;

tact with fiscal agents in which many contributors
are placed, who do not appreciate the equitable-
ness of the charge or the usefulness of the purpose
for which the impost is levied.

### Analysis ###
The user's query asks about the role of the diet in controlling individual states and examples of states that opted out of collective actions. This question pertains to political history, particularly focusing on state sovereignty and collective decision-making within a broader framework. The references provided, however, cover a variety of topics, from empiricist ethics to microfilming projects and tax theories. None of these references directly address the specifics of state control through diet or collective action. Thus, the answer will require careful extrapolation and contextualization.

### Answer ###
The concept of states controlling individual actions through collective measures is a complex topic with historical and theoretical dimensions. The references provided do not directly discuss this aspect, so any response must rely on extrapolation and general understanding of historical and philosophical contexts.

In the context of collective actions, it is important to consider the principles and dynamics of governance. Empiricist ethics, for instance, emphasize the psychological and biological factors that influence human behavior, which can indirectly affect how states might approach collective decisions<ref name="http://www.philosophy-empiricism-ethics.org">"With the empiricist psychology, which has an inexhaustible literature, we will not deal here, since it is of no philosophical interest."</ref>. These ethical considerations can inform how states might design policies that balance individual freedoms with collective goals.

Regarding the control of states through dietary means, there is no direct mention of such practices in the provided texts. However, the discussion on fiscal theories highlights the advantages and disadvantages of different forms of taxation, which could be analogous to considering various mechanisms of control over states<ref name="http://www.fiscaltheories.org/advantages-disadvantages/direct-taxes-vs-other-options">"The economy and ease of collection, the simplicity of superintendence, and the smaller number of controversies."</ref>. Direct taxes, for example, are noted for their transparency and direct impact on wealth, which could metaphorically translate to the direct impact of dietary policies on individual health and state resources.

Historical examples of states opting out of collective actions are varied. In the context of early American history, many states initially had significant autonomy and sometimes opted out of federal initiatives. This historical precedent underscores the tension between national unity and state sovereignty<ref name="http://www.clevelandpubliclibrary.org/great-collections/microfilming/storia-dellassassino-stoppa-1880">"Reproductions may not be made without permission from the Cleveland Public Library"</ref>.

In conclusion, while the provided references do not explicitly address the control of states through diets or examples of states opting out of collective actions, they offer insights into the broader principles of governance and policy implementation. Understanding these principles can help contextualize how states might exercise control and make decisions within a larger collective framework.
