12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 272

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. 272

~ William Thomson and Plato’s Forms / Reprise ~

Remember then, that I directed you not to teach me some one or two holy acts out of many, but that very form by which all holy acts are holy… Teach me, then, the nature of that form itself, that looking to it and using it for our example, I may declare any of the actions of yourself or any other, which partakes of this nature, to be holy, and any not so partaking, not to be holy.

So eloquently stated Plato (428-347 BC) per his Euthyphro 6, as footnoted by William Thomson, Archbishop of York (1819-1890) in his 1842 book An Outline of the Necessary Laws of Thought: A Treatise on Pure and Applied Logic.

May the mind diligently pursue moral understanding, to seek not lists of acts, behaviors, postures, nor seek to enumerate bills or articles of rights whether human or constitutional, instead seek to deliberate then determine observably, logically, consistently therefore ethically. In so doing, critically reducing lists, bills, articles of pluralities to a principle, morality, ethic, right of singularity by which all things are judged then condemned else justified.

If seeking to enumerate formally or informally two or more holy acts of many, if depending on the same holy acts, moralities, rights, ethics and/or rights to moderate either society or oneself, then ensured are various arbitraries, complexities thus inconsistencies as well contradictions, hypocrisies, confutations, discrepancies even conflicts, brutalities and more. For without an observable, logical, consistent therefore singular principle as the universal determinant, then inevitably arbitrary any list, bill, article of compiled holy acts, moralities, rights, ethics and/or rights.

Worsened the naked intuition, the erroneous, excessive propensities
Ah the sinful originalities (ergo hinted the skint among the polities)
So go the spark off flint upon stone, the flame `low muck and mire
Hardening to fuckin’ pride, hoisted thereon society’s arrogant spire 

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

---

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