12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 231

Published in 2022 amid US Government's tyranny crescendo-ing to unprecedented magnitudes as done by many (if not all) presidential administrations and congressional classes, unchallenged by judicial benches, particularly those of 21st century (without exception), that is to say, my 12th book (3rd of trilogy thus 1st and 2nd), entitled appropriately and exhaustively Propositions, Problems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters (May 2022)... 



PROPOSITION, PROBLEM & POEM No. 231


It would be appropriate even prudent to declare yet again clearly, concisely the two aforesaid laws before proceeding, and prior to proposing the third law conversely however intrinsically related.

Law of Consensual Unity; if consensual among all then ethically determined unity, else rightful dissension among one or more then unavoidable disunity (see Proposition, Problem & Poem Nos. 225, 226).

Law of Ethical Continuity; if an action disregarding dissent (not consensual) then an ethical dilemma, else not an action disregarding dissent, not an ethical dilemma rather ethical continuity (see Proposition, Problem & Poem Nos. 227, 228).

To proceed appropriately, logically, to state clearly, concisely the following the third law…

            Law of Anterior Covetousness; if an action disregarding dissent (not consensual), then anterior the covetousness as the initial speculation, presumption the consequential disposition, arrogance, disrespect thus disregard the eventual manifestation.

So it follows, the objective of each and every action disregarding dissent is to inculcate, manipulate, regulate, confiscate and/or perhaps terminate others’ person, propensity, prerogative, preference, purpose as well profession, purse, possession and property (see Proem & Poem No. 176). The action however holds more potency than mere Disregard even simple Disrespect, for Arrogance certainly aroused and of course emboldened, unavoidably preceded and encouraged by Presumption, yet the weed ill rooted, the seed badly planted, the rot at core if you will, have always been, of course always is, therefore shall always be Covetousness!

Thus the scorn, sackcloth torn, coals and ashes upon shaven heads
So, damn the talking heads to a particularly made hell, stones instead
Piled as postwar rubble, their only memorials, no prayers offered
For proffered they as whores, “All lies the truths!” bay chaos’ authors 

O the thorns amid furrows dry, lacking rain, rented skirts so stained
Trousers long torn, faces wrung, heads shorn, eyes forlorn unable to gain
Hope upon liberty, hence to cope upon one’s ability and responsibility
Risking some or all, subsisting on crumbs till harvest’s haul and virility

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.

12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 224

Published in 2022 amid US Government's tyranny crescendo-ing to unprecedented magnitudes as done by many (if not all) presidential administrations and congressional classes, unchallenged by judicial benches, particularly those of 21st century (without exception), that is to say, my 12th book (3rd of trilogy thus 1st and 2nd), entitled appropriately and exhaustively Propositions, Problems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters (May 2022)... 



PROPOSITION, PROBLEM & POEM No. 224

~ Qui Tacet Dissentire Videtur / 2nd Reprise ~

Again, commonly accepted the notion and phrase silence implies consent or better known in Latin qui tacet consentire videtur, however it is covetous, presumptuous, arrogant therefore unethical to make such a broad conclusion. For to appropriately contrast and rightfully contend, so must state the logical, consistent, ethical alternative, dissent implied by silence, or to appropriately translate in Latin qui tacet dissentire videtur until explicitly consented.

Consequently to propose and define logically, consistently hence ethically; violence is one’s action directed towards then against another’s dissent explicit or dissent implicit per consent unexpressed. It matters not the former person’s intent, objective, benefit, nor office if politically empowered, else station or status if socially, financially endowed, neither the latter person’s error in judgment or resulting detriment in so dissenting; violation thus violence nonetheless! The point of course Dissent should always be one's assumption of another's posture, until the latter individually, explicitly consents. This is observably, logically, consistently, ethically so for all matters!

For those who argue in favor of various politics, governmental systems as well social contracts, to contend that silence implies consent or silent/noncontentious participation implies consent as often argued conveniently so to support the aforesaid, then unavoidable, inescapable the covetousness and presumption preceding as well arrogance and violence proceeding.

And so, what are both considerations if harmful or injurious but actions or activities against explicit even implicit dissent therefore perceived as harmed or injured the individual’s person, propensity, prerogative, preference, purpose as well profession, purse, possession and property. To simplify, only the individual’s conclusion on the matter thus dissent versus consent, determines the harm or injury versus no harm nor injury. To reiterate, only presumption and arrogance well rooted in covetousness would object to such a method of determination regarding social contracts even constitutions, governmental systems, political isms and more save one; Individualism!

Rhymes of recent times while archaic and Aramaic upon mosaic
Gates, tables, expressions as codes scribed, inked then finessed
Till hammered and chiseled Romanesque, white as marble tress

12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 223

Published in 2022 amid US Government's tyranny crescendo-ing to unprecedented magnitudes as done by many (if not all) presidential administrations and congressional classes, unchallenged by judicial benches, particularly those of 21st century (without exception), that is to say, my 12th book (3rd of trilogy thus 1st and 2nd), entitled appropriately and exhaustively Propositions, Problems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters (May 2022)... 



PROPOSITION, PROBLEM & POEM No. 223

~ Qui Tacet Dissentire Videtur / 1st Reprise ~

However, it is necessary if to advocate for both social contracts or constitutions, to do so along with qui tacet consentire videtur or silence implies consent, for upon establishing the perquisite for government’s formation per any-ocracy (yes, including democracy) and/or any-ism (save one), then well enabled the prerequisite for government’s expansion.

To tangentially yet duly note, United States’ Founding Framers else Schemers perhaps intended the sort of expansion aforesaid, although the Anti-Federalists wisely suspected thus the latter’s ardent retorts and counter papers. Alexander Hamilton too although Pro-Federalist was concerned even troubled by the ten amendments to the scheme, citing the Bill of Rights’ mere existence would encourage the trampling of any right not specifically enumerated (see Federalist Paper No. 84).

The historically prudent would be correct to notice among the earliest of events, during the earliest of administrations the transition from the originally accepted constitutional interpretation whatever not written not allowed to the covetously manipulative, constitutional interpretation whatever not written quite allowed. Thence set in motion the incremental then exponential expansion of government powers therefore intrusions upon the individual’s privacies and freedoms.

So it follows the inevitable aforesaid outcomes, for the first few steps included of course the willingness, eagerness even covetousness for conveniency and expediency per the ideologue qui tacet consentire videtur or silence implies consent, cleverly adorned with Democracy’s raiment, the Constitution as crown and scepter, United States then well equipped, enabled then eventually evolved as the Neo Roman Empire. Clearly, the observable, logical, consistent thereby ethical preemption; qui tacet dissentire videtur!

12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 222

Published in 2022 amid US Government's tyranny crescendo-ing to unprecedented magnitudes as done by many (if not all) presidential administrations and congressional classes, unchallenged by judicial benches, particularly those of 21st century (without exception), that is to say, my 12th book (3rd of trilogy thus 1st and 2nd), entitled appropriately and exhaustively Propositions, Problems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters (May 2022)... 



PROPOSITION, PROBLEM & POEM No. 222

~ Qui Tacet Dissentire Videtur ~

At core of arguments favoring social contracts is the matter of consent not by each and every individual, rather as a presumed societal whole. Rarely proposed as ethically fundamental is unanimous consent, for conveniently, expediently promulgated the combination of consent explicit as well implicit, tacit hence participation noncontentious; qui tacet consentire videtur or silence implies consent.

At this juncture, it is imperative to point out the human paradox. For if arguments for particular social contracts and/or political isms are unbearable, intolerable even unfavorable, undesirable then hairs on back of neck rise involuntarily else immediately ever defiantly, while the mind determines instantly, logically the necessity for unanimous consent at most, at least one’s own consent.

 However if arguments for particular social contracts and/or political isms are desirable, favorable even tolerable, bearable then hairs on back of neck remain undisturbed, relaxed, while the mind carries on toward secondary thus subsequent concerns.

In the former case, it is irrelevant whether one explicitly communicates to others, for dissent nonetheless the opinion, posture, preference, sentiment, emotion even passion. The noncommunicant or silent person is neither without thought ever changing nor opinion ever altering per his/her peculiar ability to reason ever evaluating. Consequently to assume a person’s noncommunication or silence as equaling to a particular conclusion such as consent, cannot be anything other than presumption, arrogance motivated by covetousness.

Force; the covetousness perfectly bloomed in colors of blood
Introrsely the presumptuousness upon the impassioned floods
Clouds o’er reddish mud, aft’ fiery pillars then smoky plumes
Per society’s killers onto the twilight-dance in polity’s ballroom

Elitists’ jollity although drollery, as commoners prance in line
Dance in kind per trance like-mind, askance, constant, till benign
Bovines stilled, canines reeled upon the Pavlovian convenience
The usual expediency, insomuch the subsidy unto obedience

        To my daughters, sons-in-law and grandchildren, who I love more than they know.

12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 262

Published in 2022 amid US Government's tyranny crescendo-ing to unprecedented magnitudes as done by many (if not all) presidential administrations and congressional classes, unchallenged by judicial benches, particularly those of 21st century (without exception), that is to say, my 12th book (3rd of trilogy thus 1st and 2nd), entitled appropriately and exhaustively Propositions, Problems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters (May 2022)... 

   

PROPOSITION, PROBLEM & POEM No. 262

~ Capacity, Ability, Proximity, Longevity / 2nd Reprise ~

To recollect then summarize (see Proposition, Problem & Poem Nos. 255, 256) for the purpose of equating terms, consider the following.

1. Limited Capacity (e * 1 = finite energy)…
                        that is to say, Non-Omnipotence.

2. Limited Ability (s * 1 = finite skills)…
                        that is to say, Non-Omniscience.

3. Limited Proximity (x * 1, y * 1, z * 1 = finite space)…
                        combined with…

4. Limited Longevity (t * 1 = finite time)
                        that is to say, Non-Omnipresence.

It is paramount to understand non-omnipresence else limited proximity/limited longevity as representing both a single point (x * 1, y * 1, z * 1) or location in the universe, as well a single point (t) or moment in time. To compare, again consider the following.

1. Unlimited Capacity (e * ∞ = infinite energy)
                        that is to say, Omnipotence.

2. Unlimited Ability (s * ∞ = infinite skills).
                        that is to say, Omniscience.

3. Unlimited Proximity (x * ∞, y * ∞, z * ∞ = infinite space).
                        combined with…

4. Unlimited Longevity (t * ∞ = infinite time).
                        that is to say, Omnipresence.

It is also paramount to understand omnipresence else unlimited proximity/unlimited longevity as representing both all points (x * ∞, y * ∞, z * ∞) or locations in the universe, as well all points (t * ∞) or moments in time.

Why review this particularly tedious comparison? As paramount to dwell on this matter, if not to study, ponder, labor over it, still those endowed with power, wealth, education thus office, status, prestige will persist then insist to covetously presume then arrogantly violate as suffered, burdened, tolerated, allowed, encouraged even cherished by others without power, wealth, education thus without office, status, prestige, as though the former superior to the latter inferior.

Therefore contemplating the Infinite state of Divinity (e * ∞, s * ∞, x * ∞, y * ∞, z * ∞, t * ∞) whether actual versus hypothetical per individual convictions, while comparing to the Finite state of Humanity (e * 1, s * 1, x * 1, y * 1, z * 1, t * 1) solely actual, quite notably inhibited and restricted each and every member of the specie human to a similarly although respectively precise even minute point, regardless the perceived extent of one’s existence and experience. So much so should be the constantly humble posture, any tempted suggestion, notion, hint, inkling towards aggrandizement, ascendency, affection, amour-propre of self-worth as relatively beyond others’ worth would be consistently, unquestionably, immediately covetousness, presumption, arrogance and if to act then often the violation of another.

However, as astonishing of course the superiority postured by the presumptuous contenders hence arrogant subjugators, far more appalling however the inferiority postured by the submissive consenters hence deliberate submitters. With that said, always the disposition hoped per publicly funded education (see Proem & Poem Nos. 81, 82, 91-94). To be bold and bona fide, near perversion (see below definition) to esteem others in such ways, likely the projection of one’s own covetousness, presumption and arrogance onto those endowed and empowered to act on behalf.

For sake of reference, the word defined accordingly, logically, consistently; ethically. Perversion; per the most contemptible, abominable, barbarous, nefarious as well depraved, reprobated of definitions; for one to consent or dissent on all matters per his/her preference, yet remain discontented, disconcerted even disturbed until others act, speak even think compatibly, similarly by force legal or illegal. It is critical to include in consideration and understanding the word and sentiment covetousness as the indisputable perquisite to such perversion.

Ah the autocrat along with the democrat, their might as their right
Whether minority over majority or majority over minority, the fight
`Tween consenters then dissenters, presumption versus preference
Polity against citizenry, and so goes the governance as arrogance 

Some declare “Our inheritance!” on behalf of the whole yet part
If not self-interest of one or few, to covet then presume at start
To collaborate, collude, conspire as conventions or committees
O public the postured moralities, private the prevailing fugacities

12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 256

Published in 2022 amid US Government's tyranny crescendo-ing to unprecedented magnitudes as done by many (if not all) presidential administrations and congressional classes, unchallenged by judicial benches, particularly those of 21st century (without exception), that is to say, my 12th book (3rd of trilogy thus 1st and 2nd), entitled appropriately and exhaustively Propositions, Problems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters (May 2022)... 



PROPOSITION, PROBLEM & POEM No. 256

~ Capacity, Ability, Proximity, Longevity / 1st Reprise ~

Humanity is endlessly grasping at reality by incrementally increasing his/her actuality of it per the ever-present potentiality if/when choosing to do so. Such perception amid ever-present potentiality, actuality increases incrementally upon each internal affirmation by personal experience/knowledge, combined with every external affirmation by others' personal experience/knowledge.

The aforesaid as such even frustrated, oft exasperated per humanity’s individually limited capacity, ability, proximity, longevity, and if worsened by possessing not the specie’s sole advantage for survival, the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, then they as vulnerably featherless, furless, clawless, fangless as well weaker and slower, bipedal omnivores would instinctively, desperately resort to inefficient thus insufficient gathering, foraging, grazing then scavenging upon prior failed hunts per lack of reasoning skills to imagine then construct spears, clubs, slings, bows and arrows. In pack-like and herd-esque groups, these wretched non-reasoning humans would survive for a time, although eventually preying on each other, invariably becoming extinct (per Proem & Poem No. 22).

The awareness of others’ presumption and arrogance significantly heightens amid unwanted encountering intervention, imposition, intrusion, invasion, upon grasping the full extent of humanity’s lot and state. Thereby covetousness is more apparent as the sole driver of this sort of presumption and arrogance, hence any person unworthy to exercise authoritatively over another without mutual consent.

---

O the exasperation by Statism upon citizenry-turned-servility
Paupers then puppets, on to serfs and slaves, ah fervent tyranny
Charade’ing the parade, choice by force, devoiced fitly coursed
While presumption and arrogance bellow as covetously sourced 

To live by the violent blade, bullet, bomb, now the drone
Palms o’er bogarted hearts, thus the departed `low tombstones
To live by the politician’s violent pen, paper, equally the laws
Zen’ed by covetous souls, thus dire effects by desired cause
