Inveterate Covetousness Theorem

Published 22 May 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 3rd of a trilogy that included, obviously, my 10th and 11th books. Consequently, these three installments taken from my 12th book regarding Inveterate Covetousness Theorem...


PROPOSITION, PROBLEM & POEM No. 245

~ Inveterate Covetousness Theorem / Part 1 ~

Presumption then Arrogance without exception precedes the disrespect thus disregard for the Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on all matters, as inseparably manifested by the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason. Covetousness also without exception precedes the same Presumption then Arrogance. So argued earlier observably, logically, consistently, ethically therefore consequently the three propositions as laws; the Law of Consensual Unity, the Law of Ethical Continuity and the Shaefferian Law of Anterior Covetousness (see Presumption, Problem & Poem Nos. 225-235). So must argue the following proposition logically albeit questionably thus declared not as a law rather presented as a theorem

To state, as much the Singular Human Right is in constant motion thus operation as determined in thought, as denoted by word, as demonstrated by action regardless the breadth and depth of respect then regard extended versus disrespect then disregard exacted, so Covetousness in constant motion thus operation as determined in thought, as denoted by word, as demonstrated by action regardless the breadth and depth of moderation then restriction self-imposed versus immoderation then facilitation self-roused.

It is true, one could argue whether Covetousness is ever present or not, with as much logic or evidence for either posture. However the debate would be moot if excepted the ever presence of Covetousness preceding each and every occurrence of Presumption then Arrogance followed by Disrespect thus Disregard, the constant and consistent antithesis to the Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on all matters, as inseparably manifested by the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason.

Politicians’ cronies, the johns and whores as meant then schemed
As dreamt mid river’s stream, per golden shores’ yonder beams
Fonder the morphine in cold hands, for diseased veins and minds
Sickened the soul, non-quickened the heart o’er the bestial grind

Sublime conversely the mind amid Freedom’s uncontained plains
Confuse not as Eden’s lovely main, nor to feign as Utopia’s reign
Unsustainable as deranged, unmaintainable as estranged, so it goes
As the emperor oddly disrobes, to maniacally don his new clothes

--- --- ---

PROPOSITION, PROBLEM & POEM No. 246

~ Inveterate Covetousness Theorem / Part 2 ~

The importance of such consideration (see Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 245) is to grasp the prevalence of Covetousness particularly, within the greater context per the universally observable human propensities towards error and excess if philosophically determining, or the synonymous Calvinistic first-point regarding humanity as totally depraved if theologically determining.

To emphasize again logically although poetically, within the greater context defined either as the human proclivity for error and excess or as the human inherency for depravity, Covetousness exists, subsists, persists and insists.

Sublime conversely the mind amid Freedom’s uncontained plains
Confuse not as Eden’s lovely main, nor to feign as Utopia’s reign
Unsustainable as deranged, unmaintainable as estranged, so it goes
As the emperor oddly disrobes, to maniacally don his new clothes

Strolling oddly amid the furrows of thistles, thorns and dead roses
Oft supposed as predisposed, the insanities the crowned head poses
So the economical then societal throes for those disenfranchised
`Low the red moon, later the black skies, as prophetically surmised

PROPOSITION, PROBLEM & POEM No. 274

~ Inveterate Covetousness Theorem / Part 3 ~

            Appropriately, the Inveterate Covetousness Theorem could very well be expanded and/or renamed as the Common Perversion Theorem or simply Perversionism. For the two quite tightly interlaced perhaps synonymously interchangeable hence incestuously intertwined, consequently to state and enumerate redundantly; Covetousness then Perversion.

            To define once again, the following two isms restated per installments prior as duly noted.

Perversionism (see Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 265); 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 thus force governmental, social or personal. It is critical to include in consideration and understanding the word and sentiment covetousness (Proposition, Problem & Poem Nos. 231-235, 245, 246) as the indisputable perquisite to such perversion (see Proem & Poem Nos. 135, 154, 190 and Proposition, Problem & Poem Nos. 247, 265).

Individualism (see Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 263); the constant respect hence consistent regard for each and every person's Peculiar Human Ability to Reason as manifested per the Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on all matters. Without exemption or exception (see Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 247), all considerations must rest upon the aforesaid, else the unethical dilemma remaining unjustifiable ergo unresolvable till resumed and revered the one ethos and creed (see Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 250) as determined then established since humanity first reasoned.

At core (incurably rotten) of all organized coercions, that is to say, all politics therefore all political isms, all social isms, all economic isms (including capitalism as popularly tho’ incorrectly used and abused since 1913), all governmental systems (thus any-ocracy), all partisan platforms (thus any plank), all socio-political movements (thus any reform), is of course Perversionism at stark odds against the sole ism logical, ethical, rightful hence Individualism. It should be quite unnecessary to note then warn; Perversionism stands ever readied covetously, presumptuously, arrogantly to forcefully constrain, violently reduce or inhumanely eliminate Individualism.

The contention always exists at this juncture, for by the two aforesaid definitions one’s emotionally embraced polities and sentimentally endeared moralities are logically challenged even ethically condemned, thus the often inimical response even hysterical rejection of the same.

---

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

And so it goes per cigarette pouts, martini slurs o'er high-heel stirs
Seasoned terse withal usual curse, twice recited, thrice liken verse
Mid cornet and saxophone blown, blue and mauve notes so moaned
Heaving as bosom-tones, ear-suckled by hungry souls, each alone
