12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 273

Most likely to be published later this summer of 2022, my 12th book entitled appropriately; Propositions, Problems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters. The following will probably be included upon further editing, and front cover a slightly modified yet appropriate version of the 10th and 11th books...

PROPOSITION, PROBLEM & POEM No. 273

~ William Thomson and Hobbes' Unresistible Might ~

Adequate notions are those in which, besides enumerating the marks, we can explain them; that is, can enumerate the marks of the marks of the distinct notions, and again the marks of those marks… So we have an adequate notion of what Hobbes means by Rights, when we not only know it is “unresistible might in a state of nature,” but can explain what unresistible might and state of nature are.

William Thomson, Archbishop of York (1819-1890)

As taken from his 1842 book An Outline of the Necessary Laws of Thought: A Treatise on Pure and Applied Logic, thus interestingly to note the applicably quoted phrase unresistible might per Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679).

For who neither observes nor concludes his/her own persistence then insistence towards the singular human right to consent or dissent on all matters, whether to then allow else deny the exercise of the same with much diligence and determination?

For who neither observes nor concludes others’ persistence then insistence towards the singular human right to consent or dissent on all matters, whether to then allow else deny the exercise of the same with much diligence and determination?

The master of a plantation, the tyrant of a kingdom, the dictator of a regime, as well the prime minister of a parliamentary government, even the president of a democratic republic, all without exception are fully aware of their own and others’ persistence then insistence towards the singular human right to consent or dissent on all matters, while covetously deliberating, presumptuously disrespecting, arrogantly disregarding then forcefully disallowing the same for any and all. For the very use of force so to disallow others therefore legislate, regulate, prohibit, ban, sanction, mandate, order, tax (then provide, subsidize, grant, etc.), confiscate, intervene, prevent, intrude, impose, monitor, spy as well invade, occupy, destroy, annihilate others, confirms the enforcer’s recognition of such persistence, insistence thus potential resistance upon the singular right and unresistible might.

So it follows, regardless the political rhetoric and/or social admonition, human actions inevitably reveal the covetous expectation hence presumptuous intention, regularly cloaked by the Golden Rule per some contorted version then sorted perversion thereof, while generally ignored the Silver Rule per some distorted convenience then consorted expedience.

Surrogates dire as ablated by liars, charlatans, schemers, deceivers
Per covetousness, presumption, arrogance unrestrained thus levered
Until fevered, hence believers of such nonsense, ignorance, lunacy
Atrocious come nigh, vociferous the cry, ergo ill the importunacy

Hence the belligerency as commonly ensued by the ever expansion
Never the contraction per assumption of further double-speculation
Hence lies are truths, truths are lies, reaffirmed if asserted twice
Recited thrice to suffice vogue hysterics pining for rogue paradise

---

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
