PROEM & POEM No. 80 - Individualism versus Aforementioned Isms / 2nd Reprise
---
Again and final time, at risk appearing exhaustingly repetitive (i.e. No. 60) though quite necessary… Concerning the selected vocabulary for the previous six installments, it could be asked why the redundancy. Applying logic thus ethic across numerous issues and scenarios, require nothing more than redundant or consistent language save the mere replacement of critiqued targets’ referencing nouns. The repetitiveness emphasizes the one unwavering principle thus prevailing point among the prior six proems and poems as well the entire collection, that is to say, to respect and regard the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, inseparably the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent.
More often ignored, still there is a lesson to be learned. Exceptions of course introduce inconsistencies thus complexities, often facilitating more of the same. To go further, principles may seem clear initially, however exceptions’ inconsistencies and complexities will foster the redefinition and reapplication of the former, while rewriting supporting fact and/or history, discarding empiricism in part or whole in practice, gradually blurring and eventually erasing from minds the founding logic as well ethic. It follows, when reason’s expression per individual consent as well dissent are honored in rhetoric and practice concerning all matters, only then can be found genuine fairness equality, justice, freedom, that is to say, the sole ethic among non-omniscient, non-omnipresent and non-omnipotent thus quite finite mortals.

O the demigods aspire, confiscating others’ well earned spires
Sequestrating a mother’s bairn as econ-serf and socio-squire
Transpired thusly, by swills’ logical ills and psychological pills
Congressing unconscious, confessing preposterous upon the nil
Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
