12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 211
As much the human specie possesses the peculiar or unique ability to reason among nonhuman, instinctive species, so simultaneously even inseparably possesses the constant prerogative and the consistent preference to consent or dissent therefore to accept or reject, to agree or disagree, to tolerate (suffer) or refuse, to continue or discontinue at the conclusive end of each and every reasoning sequence.
In parallel, as much nonhuman, instinctive species possess not the peculiar or unique ability to reason, so simultaneously even inseparably possesses not the constant prerogative nor the consistent preference to consent or dissent therefore to accept or reject, to agree or disagree, to tolerate (suffer) or refuse, to continue or discontinue, else the possessions of such lesser magnitude rendering comparisons inconsequential thus irrelevant (as proposed in Proem & Poem No. 33).
Then
it is appropriate to infer so to clarify, the individual simultaneously even
inseparably possesses the following three. Firstly the individual possesses the
characteristic human as the specie within the genus of all other living species.
Secondly the individual possesses the peculiar or unique ability to reason.
Thirdly the individual possesses the constant prerogative and the consistent
preference to consent or dissent therefore to accept or reject, to agree or
disagree, to continue or discontinue, to tolerate (suffer) or refuse at the
conclusive end of each and every reasoning sequence.
Reversely engineered if you will, to consent or dissent is prerogative or preference, then to prefer is reason, and ultimately, to reason is human, as introduced per Proem & Poem Nos. 22-24, 33, 34 from the book 100 Proems & Poems on the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, Singular Human Right to Consent & Other Neglected Matters.
It would then be logically prudent to ask further, could it be the human specie's aforesaid peculiarity or uniqueness if intervened, interfered, interrupted or inhibited by another, would likewise ill mitigate even negate the one distinction among other nonhuman, instinctive species therefore reduce or remove the human characteristic. In so doing, the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason along with human propensity, prerogative, preference, purpose thus the Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on ALL matters, are intervened, interfered, interrupted or inhibited quite inhumanely.

12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 216
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, 3rd's TOC), entitled appropriately and exhaustively Propositions, Problems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters (May 2022)...
For it's the philosopher's job to investigate the truth by means of reasons, and in all things to follow not people's opinions but reason's lead. So having devoted myself to schools for a long time, and having been educated in both their reasons and their authorities, at last I brought myself to moral philosophy, which is the aim of all the disciplines and for the sake of which I judged all the rest should be mere preliminaries.
The aforesaid, as the character Philosopher introduced himself in the book Dialogue Between a Philosopher, a Jew and Christian, written by theologian Peter Abelard (1079-1142). And as this poet discovered upon years even decades of studying, pondering, laboring whether political sciences (and isms), various histories as well economics, psychology, sociology, praxeology, theology too until observed the element or dynamic, determined the logic, demonstrated the consistency then concluded the ethic(s); the Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on ALL Matters as inherently preferred then passionately expressed per each and every individual's Peculiar Human Ability to Reason.
Furthermore, in so doing, one would be correctly admonished and properly directed if to also heed the words of business/economic journalist and writer Henry Hazlitt (1894-1993), when he wrote in his 1916 book Thinking as a Science the following…
A man with a scant vocabulary will almost certainly be a weak thinker. The richer and more copious one's vocabulary and the greater one's awareness of fine distinctions and subtle nuances of meaning, the more fertile and precise is likely to be one's thinking. Knowledge of things and knowledge of the words for them grow together. If you do not know the words, you can hardly know the thing.
The point of course is to emphasize the necessity to study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Tm 2:15), as well among both good and evil men to show oneself logically, consistently, ethically therefore credibly, honorably, exemplary as well stalwartly, diligently and always gentlemanly. Hence expand direct knowledge by experiencing along with indirect knowledge by reading, studying, observing, experimenting, pondering, testing, debating, laboring, concluding the logic, syllogism, consistency, fact, truth then ethic. Do this till last breath, so to accordingly regard the right to consent for all individuals, and to appropriately respect the ability to reason as divinely breathed and bequeathed.

Sublime if to rid ourselves of political, social
intervention and intrusion

Politically depressed, governmentally oppressed thus

While arrogantly dressed though perversely crested, covetously

As all pressed then wrested of prerogatives,

12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 215
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, 3rd's TOC), entitled appropriately and exhaustively Propositions, Problems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters (May 2022)...
For two or three decades, it has been socially tolerable, acceptable even desirable to respect and regard sexual preferences(s), whether to sexually consent versus dissent as well various sexual persuasions. Prior, it was long argued in favor of “my body, my choice” regarding pregnancies, although ignoring the body and choice of the young person within the womb. It was hopeful per such newfound insight the logic would have incrementally, appropriately infiltrated other issues political, social, economical, personal, intellectual, spiritual, confidential and more. Dismally, only a few applied the principle to other aspects of life public and/or private, far fewer applied the same constantly, consistently, ceaselessly.
Why? Covetousness!
Thus
the same depravity manifested as organizational interests then agendas, social
justices then tactics, political planks then platforms, governmental policies
then laws, regulations, prohibitions, taxes, subsidies, grants, loans,
sanctions, embargoes, bans, wars and more. For covetousness is insatiable then
quite impatient. Insatiable; thus always seeking further ends to manipulatively and/or coercively obtain. Impatient; thus
always seeking further means of
manipulation and/or coercion. With that said, the respect then regard for each
and every person’s Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on all matters,
as inseparably manifested therefore concluded per each and every person’s
Peculiar Human Ability Reason, serves equally as the observable, logical,
consistent thus ethical subjugator of Covetousness.
Consent not only negates any ethical dilemma but preempts the self-serving urgency to scheme and embrace the use of force as well (per Proem & Poem No. 120). However upon encountering dissent, there germinates in the mind’s shadows the temptation to criminally, privately, socially, electorally, politically, militarily, that is to say, violently, forcefully impose upon those dissenting thus soon resenting perhaps later resisting. As Consideration flirts then dances with Temptation, the slow seductive song eventually if not expeditiously incites Covetousness ergo the sorted Imagination and the cohort’ed Presumption, while Narcissism mandates boldly, masturbates solely towards Arrogance’s obnoxious erection, indomitably, opprobriously of course bestially Aggression’s wanton ejaculation.
This digression concludes and manifests obviously as
the human activity of coercive exaction, unapologetic violence, categorically
maybe redundantly the aforementioned methods of force. Characteristically, the
brutal dynamic is in consistent disregard of the Singular Human Right to
Consent or Not Consent on all matters, inseparably in constant disrespect of
the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason.

12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 214
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, 3rd's TOC), entitled appropriately and exhaustively Propositions, Problems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters (May 2022)...
Every member of the specie human constantly prefers or not prefers, consistently propends or not propends. That is to say, each individual prefers or propends “this” else prefers or propends “that” then prefers or propends “that” else prefers or propends “this” and so on. Preference even Propensity are neither an elected preoccupations nor chosen activities, rather continuous states of human existence. To contend the self-evident, to reason is human (see Proem & Poem Nos. 22-24, 33, 34) is to redundantly confirm to prefer even propend is to reason else something instinctive.
To restate (per Proem & Poem No. 22)… If humans did not reason, possessing not the specie’s sole advantage for survival, 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.
Theoretical of course, for when have humankind, in the current biological and psychological state created or evolved, been without the Peculiar Ability to Reason. Consequently, it is impossible to logically consider humans without noting even highlighting their one tool for improvement even survival, at the same time, their one distinction among fellow species. Inseparably, the Singular Right to Consent or Not Consent is no less worthy to note and highlight, therefore impossible to ignorantly overlook, arrogantly dismiss or brutally reject if paramount the empiricism combined with diligence resulting to consistency thus logic, in a word; ethic.
Why
the reiteration? First, to clarify the state of specie if without the Peculiar
Human Ability to Reason as the essential tool for survival thus sustainment
then improvement. Second, to clarify the definition of reasoning then to
identify the elements or dynamics of the same. So to clearly define, reasoning
is the economizing, evaluating then electing of priorities per individually assessed
personal benefit versus detriment, personal cost versus cache along with
personal urgency versus conveniency upon personal responsibility versus risk.
Then to elementally identify, reasoning’s aforesaid process unavoidably
includes personal knowledge experientially direct per laboring, practicing,
encountering, generally living and experientially indirect per reading,
studying, determining, academically learning, combined with personal propensities,
prerogatives, preferences, purposes, pursuits.
And covetous desires fan to flames, panning polity’s
fiat games
Tho’ few to logically triage the false claims, placing
proper blame
While facing the slanderous aims, “Racists and
Fascists are All!”
Appalled by disagreements the pious cabal while
self-enthralled
O the academic squalls, the journalistic brawls, while
all in throes
Amid inaugural balls, corporate banquets, each harlot
`tween the rows
Every varlet as bedfellow, so they bellow, “Bestow the
water as wine!
Who will question, who will know, who will betray then
begrime?”

12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 274
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, 3rd's TOC), entitled appropriately and exhaustively Propositions, Problems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters (May 2022)...
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
