More on Human ABILITY to REASON, Human RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 134

Most likely to be published later this spring/summer of 2020, my 11th book entitled appropriately; More 100 Proems & 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 previous....

PROEM & POEM No. 134 - Pursuit of Happiness

      Any possible happiness this side of heaven comes not solely from mystically joyous thoughts, metaphysically positive meditations, nor the creating of conditions perceived as lacking negativity, nor the excluding of adverse dynamics whether objects, conditions even persons, rather within the context of persistent work and arduous labor. If to observe one avoiding persistent work, shunning arduous labor, bearing not the burden of individual responsibility and risk (see Nos. 117-120, 123), then observe as well the pathetic narcissism thus desperate unhappiness upon reason predominately unexercised, unprincipled therefore ethic completely unrealized, unpredictable allowing for emotion mostly unconstrained, instinct largely uncontained.

      He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster (Pr 18), while another translation describes the same character as brother to one who destroys. Either way, quite strong the proverbial condemnation upon those coveting and pursuing the fruits of others' labor against their dissent via club, knife, gun or the more socially acceptable method; government legislation (a political way to say "legalized violence"). Most seeking to commit violence of course are relying the on the latter method, for no longer would they be criminal for the theft legislated as taxation, rather those dissented would be criminal if they refuse and resist.

      In addition to the aforementioned verse in Proverbs, the next ecclesiastical statement further suggests enjoyment, goodness therefore possible happiness found amid labor. I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God (Ec 3:12-13). It could be inferred, less likely even impossible the enjoyment, goodness therefore happiness otherwise, that is to say, without the expenditure of labor not of others but of one’s own.

---

Idle the time preceding covetousness then the mischief
Bridling not the mind by owed labor, giving ascent to miff
Others’ stash as newfound idols entitled upon social altars
Ah longer the prayers to human-gods o’er pottages pottered

Stronger the stares upon wiled the snares as well the affairs
Whiskey kings and barstool queens, wiser still if to compare
To pundits reluctant not to publicly academic masturbation
Such the reprobation towards illumination per true erudition

Proverbs 18:9

"He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster."

Proverbs 18:9

Commentary... Another translation reiterates "is brother to one who destroys", thus quite strong the proverbial condemnation upon those whose slothfulness inspire covetousness then eye and pursue the fruits of others' labor. Without of course the consent of all effected, the pursuits of the slothful and the covetous proceed to disrespect and disregard then transgress and trample others' rightful dissent via club, knife, gun or the more socially acceptable method; government legislation, a politicized way to say "violence merely legalized".

“If any man's money can be taken by a so-called government, without his own personal consent, all his other rights are taken with it; for with his money the government can, and will, hire soldiers to stand over him, compel him to submit to its arbitrary will, and kill him if he resists.”

Lysander Spooner (1808-1887)

This occurred long ago first by US Government's taxation, then later the scheme matured by Federal Reserve's monopolization.

Government documents reveal the 18 year war in Afghanistan was based on lies....

Government documents reveal the 18 year war in Afghanistan was based on lies, a "good war" per previous president and 2009 Nobel Peace Prize recipient, an unconstitutional, unnecessary as well unethical war initiated by Bush, expanded by Obama thus continues by Trump. This should not be a shock and shame on us all for supporting it.

Will this revelation be a turning point in US military/foreign policies? Will people stop insisting on more government freebies so to pressure their senators as well representatives to end this and other such monstrous wars? Will college students stop whining over trifles so to protest on campuses and streets against US warmongering? No, no, and sadly, no!

The BILL of RIGHT...

The BILL of RIGHT...

1. The individual right to consent or dissent on all matters.

All other rights as billed or listed among various governmental constitutions, political documents and international declarations are either redundantly unnecessary, thus compound and complex the matter if enumerated (consider Federalist Paper No. 84), or more likely disrespects and disregards the singular human right therefore violent towards the individual.

Taken from Federalist Paper No. 84 as originally published during the summer of 1788 by The Independent Journal, New York Packet and The Daily Advertiser under the  pseudonym Publius (aka Alexander Hamilton)...

"I go further, and affirm that bills of rights, in the sense and to the extent in which they are contended for, are not only unnecessary in the proposed Constitution, but would even be dangerous. They would contain various exceptions to powers not granted; and, on this very account, would afford a colorable pretext to claim more than were granted. For why declare that things shall not be done which there is no power to do? Why, for instance, should it be said that the liberty of the press shall not be restrained, when no power is given by which restrictions may be imposed? I will not contend that such a provision would confer a regulating power; but it is evident that it would furnish, to men disposed to usurp, a plausible pretense for claiming that power."

Note:
Generally I ideologically despise Alexander Hamilton, although his insight expressed in Federalist Paper No. 84 is not only most noteworthy among other such papers but quite prophetically accurate as well. History demonstrates time and time again the predicted abuse by the US government as covetously, presumptuously, arrogantly thus violently continued to this day.

POLITICAL versus ETHICAL, LEGISLATION versus RESCISSION...

To be political is to merely lobby and legislate the termination, manipulation and/or confiscation of others' person, preference and/or possession regardless the legal method, social objective even moral intent.

In contrast, to be ethical is to simply refrain or rescind the termination, manipulation and/or confiscation of others' person, preference and/or possession regardless the legal method, social objective even moral intent.

If one logically, consistently understands as covetous, presumptuous and violent any desire, decision and action towards another who dissented (thus harm determined always by dissent), then one should logically, consistently understand any legislation as such therefore rescission as the ethical correction.

Better still of course, is to refrain hence folly as well unethical the notions to right past legislation with further legislation.

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.

The SEPARATION of SCIENCE and STATE thus the SEPARATION of SCHOOL and STATE...

Long understood the clear separation of Church and State (however inconsistently applied). By such alliance the State corrupts further the politics conveniently, expediently in favor of a particular church, synagogue, mosque, temple or organization thereby disfavoring then disallowing other competing religions, denominations, sects and nonreligious bodies or societies. Likewise, by the same alliance the Church pollutes whatever integrity in favor then allowance of the State thereby compromising doctrine and piety even principle and morality while levying disservices upon fellow clerics, elders, deacons, charity-workers as well congregants thus general populace as potential benefactors of these vocations.

So it should be obvious the same precaution necessitates the clear separation of Science and State. By such alliance the State corrupts further the politics conveniently, expediently in favor of a particular narrative more often else proposition, research, theory or conclusion thereby disfavoring then disallowing other competing propositions, researches, theories or conclusions. Likewise, by the same alliance Science pollutes whatever integrity in favor then allowance of the State thereby compromising practice and objectivity even fact and truth while levying disservices upon fellow scientists, analysts, technicians, inventors, innovators as well apprentices thus general populace as potential benefactors of these professions.

Consequently, it is by no means a fantastical stretch to logically, consistently suggest even insist an equally clear separation of School and State as prerequisite to and facilitation of the aforementioned separation of Church, Science and State. For most effective conveniently, expediently are the corruptible collusion with Church as well Science when the State makes compulsory its well funded and manipulated School as unfortunately exemplified by 20th/21st century America.

Joe Biden denied communion for his support of abortion, not warmongering

Per various headlines, Joe Biden was denied communion at a Catholic church in South Carolina. Apparently, for supporting abortion "rights", as well the elimination of the Hyde Amendment, a law he previously supported, barring federal funds for abortions other than in cases of rape, incest, and threat of mother's life. 

American Catholics as well Evangelicals have taken such stands on abortion many times since 1973 Roe v. Wade as they are now. Yet interestingly, where is the Christian concern for 1.5 million+ lives (by some estimates, including unborn children) in Mideastern/African countries per US Imperial Wars "of" Terror as chiefly commanded by Caesars Bush, Obama and Trump, of course former Vice President Biden administratively supported. The priest however did not include this monstrosity in his clerical statement regarding the withholding of communion from the co-warmonger Joe Biden.

I am an INDIVIDUALIST... Ayn Rand

"I am an INDIVIDUALIST who believes that there is NO CLASH OF INTEREST among people and that ANY TALENT IS A HELP, not a threat, to another talent." --- Ayn Rand (1905-1982)

Note:
Quote was recently posted online by UK Liberty Party, consequently my post.

It is because of this statement and others similar by this tremendously intelligent lady, as well many related implications by the gentleman Ludwig von Mises, that I began to prefer then embrace the word INDIVIDUALISM. As I consistently define, INDIVIDUALISM is merely "the singular human right to consent" or not consent on all matters, as the conclusion to "the peculiar human ability to reason" (thus titles of my 10th and forthcoming 11th books). Not to the exclusion of other compatible isms of course, rather those considerations synonymous and/or subset of INDIVIDUALISM.

The sanctity of private property, personal liberty and one's very life are not foundations themselves nor rights as often categorized. Instead the three along with any other like examination will root and root deeply near or next to the stream of reasoning, the sole human distinction among all nonhuman species, the peculiar ability singularly manifested by the conclusion of consent versus dissent, hence INDIVIDUALISM. All other notions of rights as well isms must flow from this else not a right nor ism justified at all, and the atrocity resulted; the singular right to consent inhumanely trampled.

For what is Libertarianism if not the expression of INDIVIDUALISM's various arrangements and activities as consented. For what is Capitalism if not the expression of INDIVIDUALISM's particular arrangements and activities as consented regarding his/her capital. For what is Non-Interventionism if not the expression of INDIVIDUALISM's respect and regard for others' various arrangements and activities as consented by them. And the logic, right, ethic thus truth carries on and on without exception. To clarify further, all isms political, social and economic lacking the consent of one or more, therefore disrespecting and disregarding the dissent of one or more, commits violence against INDIVIDUALISM.

Like it or not, Mr. Chappelle is "consistently" right one way or another...

"Gentleman, that is fair,” concluded Dave Chappelle during his Netflix special Sticks and Stones (see YouTube link below), after clarifying that women should be allowed to consult any or no one on the issue of abortion. "And ladies, to be fair to us, I also believe that if you decide to have the baby, a man should not have to pay," Mr. Chappelle equalizes then categorizes, “That’s fair." To take the matter further, he interestingly compares, "If you can kill this motherfucker, then I can at least abandon ‘em. It’s my money, my choice." He finalizes the segment by logically dismantling the comfortable nest of inconsistency that many prefer so to satiate their arbitrary preference, "And if I’m wrong, then perhaps we’re wrong."

My point is, without consistency in ponder, purpose and practice there is no right, no morality, no ethic, no principle and certainly no truth, only preference and presumption remain.

On a personal note (not Mr. Chappelle's)...

I can already hear the retorts categorizing the pre-born child as nonhuman, or mere tissue similar to an appendix or tonsil while post-born child as quite human therefore Mr. Chappelle inappropriately even insensitively compares apples with oranges. Yet is he really? For who is more likely risking arbitrariness, one arguing the pre-born child as nonhuman or tissue, versus one arguing the pre-born child as quite human? A fertilized hand (forgive for my frankness) will never become a human child, nor fertilized skin anywhere else on the body, certainly not a fertilized appendix, tonsil, etc. All across the universe and beyond, only a "humanly fertilized human egg" will become human and human only, not fowl nor fish, not reptile nor beast in the field; human! Upon conception, empirically, logically it is at least prehuman, potentially human, partially human, a bit human if not human completely.

If to insist the pre-born child as nonhuman, then one must also insist on rescinding laws protecting fertilized eggs of eagles and condors, for it follows those too are non-eagle and non-condor although scientists, protectionists and environmentalists say otherwise. My point is, again, without consistency in ponder, purpose and practice there is no right, no morality, no ethic, no principle and certainly no truth, only preference and presumption remain.

The current doomsday fanaticism over climate change is not new

The current doomsday fanaticism over climate change is not new, nor a mystery as to why it reappears time after time. As the writer suggests back in 2014, "Scientists seeking funding and journalists seeking an audience agree: panic sells." See link below for entire article.

Personal Note:
When in high school in early 1970s, the panic then perpetuated by some teachers, professors and politicians was over an exploding population growth, as conveniently reflected in various sci-fi, futuristic movies. One in particular I remember seeing at Tower Theater in Sacramento, the 1973 film Soylent Green starring Charlton Heston. However 46 years later, there is no such a product on the super market shelves nor corporate bulldozers scooping up people living in overcrowded streets. And still, the worst polluters remain unchecked, unaccounted while exempted from environmental laws, regulations and policies per national interests of course; government and it's contracted corporate cronies.

Columbus Day: One Consideration Overlooked

Whether one has misplaced pride or recreational scorn regarding the celebration of COLUMBUS DAY, one "far more important" consideration is often overlooked.

The European/Columbian discovery of the Americas as sponsored by the Spanish Crown was of course a government endeavor. Like all government endeavors (i.e. public roads, space program, solar/wind projects, etc.), it preempted any effort to do the same or something more innovating by private enterprise. Worse, these poorly placed publicly funds create a "path of least resistance", thereby becoming a economic as well political magnet for further malinvestment by government's corporate cronies as well other companies, investors, speculators, manufacturers, developers, etc.

If a private enterprise, would the New World discovery occurred in the 15th century or soon thereafter, and would it occurred as it did with all the associated atrocities against the indigenous that followed? It could be said with some reservation, private endeavors would have occurred later in history, perhaps much later. For in the 1490s, consumer demands at the time were insufficient enough to discourage such a grandly expensive speculation.

It could be also said however with certainty, far less atrocities against the indigenous would have occurred. If by no other reason per lack of government involvement and expenditure making private enterprise incapable of the same large-scale acts, hence facilitating mutually agreeable negotiations between European speculators and Indigenous landowners. For when involved, government thus its endeavors have far reaching ill effects per backing by the central bank as well taxes, purposefully favoring far fewer benefactors while unavoidably disfavoring far more victims than any private endeavor would have otherwise.
 
Most who are scorning Columbus Day do so unaware for the wrong or lesser reason. And if aware, they prefer not thus discount my aforementioned consideration for it indicts present-day government endeavors therefore atrocities they covet consequently support, hoping to parasitically glean.

Note:
In the US capitol's rotunda is the painting Landing of Columbus by John Vanderlyn (1775-1852), commissioned in 1836, installed in 1847. I suppose Columbus' discovery of New World resources therefore his landing mirrors quite well the US government's discovery of Mideast resources and subsequent landings decades later by the American Imperial Legions led by Caesars Bush, Obama and now Trump.

Democrats and Republicans: Delusional or Purposeful

Left/Democrats would like you to think they are not Fascists nor Militarists/Imperialists although suggesting otherwise by their preferred top-down regulatory methodology as well their supported and instigated forms of warmongering around the world.

It is also quite true...

Right/Republicans would like you to think they are not Socialists nor Centralists/Interventionists although suggesting otherwise by their preferred social policies and programs as well their supported forms of government expansion and intrusion.

Whether Left or Right, Democrats or Republicans, lurking in the darkest shadows are the following evils.  FIRST, Covetousness per lustfully desiring to determine others' Life, person or existence thus termination or allowance of it, to control others' Liberty, preference or behavior thus manipulation of it, and to have others' Property, possession, resource, asset, profit or capital thus confiscation of it. SECOND, Presumption per regarding, valuing, prioritizing therefore protecting, benefiting one's own Life, Liberty and Property at the expense and detriment of others. And THIRD, Arrogance per overt molesting and violating by legislation against others' Life, Liberty and Property.

The two major parties' respective delusions or purposes (i.e. propaganda) have reached such bizarre breadths and disturbing depths, they each accuse the other of the very same characteristics they are themselves and perhaps more so. Clearly, the Biblical passages apply for Mathew chapter 7, verses 3-5 rightly describe and equally condemn both parties and supporters.

 "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."

Paleolithic People Were Not Primitive Communists by Allen Gindler

"The fiasco of building socialism on demand due to its economic unsustainability and a prevailing trend toward moral decadence has not brought an end to socialist thinking. The Left has not given up and has excavated once again an old argument of the existence of communist bands of hunter-gatherers, who did not know of private property. They argue, therefore, that there is an obligation for all progressive-thinking people to put society back on the right track and embrace collectivization again as it is imprinted in human genes. As is often the case with socialists, they are right about precisely the opposite."

Allen Gindler

Scholar from the former U.S.S.R., specializing in Political Economy, Econometrics, and Industrial Engineering. He taught Economic Cybernetics, Standard Data Systems, and Computer-Aided Work Design in the Khmelnytskyi National University, Ukraine.

First axiom of Hans-Herman Hoppe's Theory of Property Rights

"Everyone is the proper owner of his own physical body, as well as of all places and nature-given goods that he occupies and puts to use by means of his body, provided that no one else has already occupied or used the same places and goods before him."

Hans-Herman Hoppe’s first axiom of his Theory of Property Rights

Economist, Philosopher, Author, Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Senior Fellow of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, former Editor of the Journal of Libertarian Studies, Founder/President of the Property and Freedom Society in Bodrum, Turkey.

I would rather have a self-serving congress and vice-ridden president

I would rather have a self-serving congress and vice-ridden president opportunistically rescinding upon rescinding as well wildly vetoing upon vetoing laws, regulations, taxes, programs, bans, sanctions, treaties, wars and so on, than a dutiful congress and decorous president righteously legislating and virtuously signing a single well-intended law, regulation, tax, program, ban, sanction, treaty, war or anything else their presumption may imagine and propose.

If I cannot have that, then perhaps a sharply partisan stalemate within and among legislative and executive branches hence nearly no further passages of laws, regulations, taxes, programs, bans, sanctions, treaties, wars and so on. Media will as before critique government as broken, I will declare government as hobbled thus fixed.

Either way, far better restored or longer preserved Life, Liberty and Property therefore logically, practically moving closer bit by bit to respecting the Individual's singular human right to consent or dissent on all matters.

Ms Ocasio-Cortez's latest push for rent controls...

Ms Ocasio-Cortez's latest push for rent controls will only exasperate the homelessness she hopes to eradicate. She is either unable or unwilling to see the very polices she supports, particularly regarding minimum wage, as contributors to further unemployment thus gateways to homelessness. She lacks understanding of the detriments as well, for just as price caps lead to less goods and services, just as wage hikes lead to less jobs, so do rent controls lead to less rentals.

Additionally, if she succeeds in imposing rent controls, is Ms Ocasio-Cortez prepared on behalf of landlords to cap prices for replacing water heaters, cap estimates for replacing roof shingles, or (God forbid) cap related wages for such repairs? Of course not, for most elected officials are incapable of perceiving the entire ripple effect per the political stones they toss into the economic pond, proceeding headlong without thought and upon inevitable failure without responsibility. Within these conditions, why would anyone speculate and venture into rental property, and/or maintain similar existing assets.

The congresswoman along with many colleagues and supporters rant clueless to the many past failed attempts by government to manipulate the economy, necessitating her present attempt already doomed, subsequently inspiring her and other politicians to propose more government manipulations until ultimate ruination of the economy. Hence the solution is not more legislation but rescission, rescission, rescission.

The capitalistic social order acquires meaning and purpose... Ludwig von Mises

"How dare" those who use a 16 year old girl like some poster child

"How dare" those who use a 16 year old girl like some poster child for their political agenda, obviously without sufficient maturity, experience and education, yet encouraging her to recklessly speak regarding environmental and economical issues far more complex than any one adult can manage and grasp even with some recognized maturity, experience, education as well electorally given authority. Nonetheless, they dare to do so, consequently the 16 year old girl dares others too, mimicking the same sort of presumption and arrogance. Astonishingly, they go further by banally slandering any criticism as "hate" towards the child, so to shroud their own hate with the jejune accusation against any and all who accurately disagree and rightly dissent.

Let us allow scientists, engineers, economists, and an array of other specialists to freely discuss and competitively debate at length within both private and public forums, without media and government's manipulative influences.

Fascism like Communism are first and foremost economic isms; the former a top-down regulatory methodology from initially partial to ultimately total control of the economy versus the latter a bottom-up confiscatory methodology from initially partial to ultimately total control of the economy. Both power-exchange with the masses using Socialism as the tossed bread to appease the Roman mob whether underwritten by Fascistic and/or Communistic methods. By this understanding, American Cronyism is a close first cousin to Fascism thus the path most likely to it.

Note:
American Cronyism is also referred to as Crony-Capitalism or Corporatism. Not to be confused by the uniquely sustainable Capitalism, a mere subset of activities within the peculiarly ethical Individualism hence the singular human right to consent or dissent on ALL matters.

Nothing more than a Green version of Fascism

Nothing more than a Green version of Fascism is the latest of popular environmental movements therefore political proposals, fanatically emphasizing Global Warming as though some indisputable Great Satan of a Bourgeoisie sort of course, to be self-righteously eradicated by Government's brutish force with faddish support in Endlösung-esque fashion. In this way, overtly slandered as deplorable perhaps covertly considered as expendable are those who reject, disagree, question even merely suggest further discussion.

To be fair, this Green Fascism coupled with American Socialism are not without precedent. For decades, both Democrats and Republicans have been quite Socialistic thus Fascistic in their own respectively convenient demagoguery thus economic methodology where differences exist solely among a few objectives and degrees.

Easier for governments to control the spending of people in debt... H.S.H. Prince Michael of Liechtenstein

In fact, it is easier for governments to control the spending of people in debt than those with savings. A person with financial resources is free, while debtors are hostage to their creditors... Like medieval alchemy that failed to turn lead into gold, today’s easy-money folly of central banks and governments will lead to crisis, not economic growth and prosperity.

Perhaps debates among scientists only regarding global warming....

Instead of celebrities, politicians and now children emotionally ranting about global warming as though experts, perhaps there should be televised, aired and streamed "endless" series of discussions even debates among SCIENTISTS ONLY from all sectors public and private (preferably), not of just one or two popular opinions, but of all possible theories thus studies.

I say "endless" for science is a constant quest and pursuit of knowledge and practice, best determined and applied in free and competitive environments, else it is not scientific but propagandized, censored, banned, prohibited therefore opportunistically politicized and gravely inhibited.

Global warming...there is much yet to research and understand

Lately, activists, particularly students, have been demonstrating per global warming, today in Washington DC. Most are college and high school ages, unable to manage their own lives, incapable to underwrite their own lifestyles thus unsure about their own futures, yet somehow near-experts on global warming (theory) therefore (allegedly) forthcoming doom? I'm not saying I am a denier. However I am saying I am NOT an expert, and chances are neither are you nor the activists as well politicians in Washington, DC. Additionally, there are other considerations within science thus some say a warming period amid an ice age, while others simply say there is much yet to research and understand (I concur).

With that being said...

Before anyone ask governments to proactively do something about the climate and environment at large, maybe they should first demand governments, particularly US government, to stop being the biggest polluters. Do not activists realize no matter the "green" deals, policies, laws, regulations, bans, etc. they may support and lobby, governments will exempt themselves and their corporate cronies as already done with current environmental policies, laws, regulations, bans, etc. And what about the environmental catastrophes, not to mention incalculable civilian death toll, caused by two decades of US warmongering in numerous countries by Bush, Obama and now Trump? These are known issues that can be solved with immediate benefits, yet for such things no one is politicking, no one is demonstrating, no one seem to care hence the prevailing hypocrisy.

Why not consider secession...

As much (convenient) hate there is for the current president as well his party thus supporters, as there was (convenient) hate for the previous president as well his party thus supporters, one would think secession by states, regions, counties even cities and towns would be a popular consideration. Think about it. A state or city as its own country, all like-minded per commonly held Cronyism, Socialism, Police-Statism or Militarism, Marxism, Fascism, Paternalism, Protectionism or any other preferred form of Interventionism. In this way, one would never have to sip coffee near "deplorables" in the same cafe even vicinity again. :-)

Instead everyone would rather solicit enough support so to seize power over 300+ million people, forcefully impose their preferences upon all thus appeasing solely the consenting while selfishly, cruelly subjugating the dissenting. Why? The aforementioned forms of Interventionism require not only the labor and resource of the consenting, but the dissenting as well. For this reason, moral arguments are conjured and crafted to justify the use of inhumane force for the confiscation of resource hence conscription of labor; fair share of taxes, transfer of wealth or property, national duty or obligation, etc.

At the end of day, covetousness is at the heart of it all. Therefore it is the worst of perversions by the dissatisfaction that remains though having exercised one's own preferences, not fully satisfied until forcefully imposing upon others to think and act likewise. It is logically astonishing as it is ethically appalling.

Personal character thus private behavior... Presidency of United States

Personal character thus private behavior do not morally distinguishes how one executes the most powerful, tyrannical office in the world; Presidency of United States. I'm quite sure many despots and dictators throughout history were kind and generous to family even to small circle of friends as well various cronies. And lets be plain, the offering of kindness, generosity, encouragement, empathy, accolades, recognition, benefits, favors to enough people so to garner sufficient political support is always the necessary strategy for such rise to power. Consequently, the required measure of this whorish strategy is consistently proportional to the desired measure of power.

However, the blame is not one-sided. For as long Americans are selfishly, covetously, greedily unwilling to reduce the Oval Office along with Congressional seats to very few and narrowly defined powers, then the occupants' character and behavior matter little to none as they presumptuously, arrogantly, unethically even inhumanely execute their offices.

DISSENT must be consistently assumed...

Judiciously, legally, politically and socially, INNOCENCE must be consistently assumed until evidence clearly indicates GUILT beyond each and every shadow of doubt, else partiality, inequality even villainy, atrocity as well tyranny upon ACCUSATION alone.

Also logical thus ethical, perhaps more so as prerequisite...

Intimately, privately, communally and publicly, DISSENT must be consistently assumed until evidence clearly indicates CONSENT beyond each and every shadow of doubt, else partiality, inequality even villainy, atrocity as well tyranny upon PRESUMPTION alone.

To note and exemplify, gravely erred of course are both the recently popular proposition favoring the accuser, as well the longstanding argument favoring implied consent (as two of many examples). In either case, the presumptuous slope is quite slippery, inevitably devolving to vicious abuse upon the accused and/or dissented Individual hence his/her Life, Liberty and Property constantly at risk. No good can come from such emotionally charged and conveniently driven premises other than preferential, excessive therefore detrimental outcomes.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is absolutely correct!

Oddly, it is Congresswoman Ilhan Omar who is reasonably cautioning about any immediate action against Iran, oppose to the usual bipartisan rhetoric in favor of further warmongering. But very much like the usual criticism by Democrats about this administration (as did Republicans about the prior), her caution is weighted by accusing Trump of uniquely continuously lying, as though Obama didn't propagandized even lied as he expanded government powers, proliferated imperial wars, arrested whistle-blowers in record numbers, and more.

With that said, Omar is absolutely correct! This administration cannot be trusted, for the US government cannot be trusted and proven to be so, particularly regarding American militarism, whether it is Trump presiding currently, Obama presiding previously as well Bush, Clinton, Bush Sr, Reagan, Carter, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy, Eisenhower, Truman, Roosevelt...

Love a political force says candidate Marianne Williamson... What?

As wonderful this proposition (quote below) may seem to some, it is merely sentimental, emotional as well nonintellectual, illogical, nonsensical, delusional and when actually pursued, tyrannical...

"Love can be a political force, and we must employ it as such if we hope to transform our country."

Presidential candidate Marianne Williamson

... Well intended politicians have forever been as intrusive and oppressive to societies thus to individuals as any mean-spirited despot or monstrous dictator. For political force like criminal force is wielded in the hands of mere mortals, inherently self-interested as any other human being, equally burdened by the universal propensities toward error and excess, compounded by the common temptations to covet and presume therefore violate.

Ms Williamson's love will no more ethically distinguish her if politically empowered as president than another's hate similarly endowed. For in both cases, the consented will be appeased of course while the dissented quite trampled.

Quote by D.C. Quillan Stone

Politically, can anyone logically, ethically define "fair"?

Politically, can anyone logically, ethically define "fair"?

And there lies the problem whenever the word "fair" is referred and elevated to justify political arguments regardless the issue. For politics is the legalization thus execution of various types of force. Consequently, political discussion is the debating even bickering over the legalization thus execution of various types of force.

Ultimately, political processes are always the garnering of enough people consenting so to impose and coerce the remaining people dissenting by the legalization thus execution of various types of force. Unavoidably, an ethical dilemma emerges, for it matters not the ratio between those consenting versus dissenting, continuously unresolved even if 99.01% versus 0.01%.

Fairness thus equality, within a social context and/or political system dependent solely on the legalization thus execution of various types of force, cannot be defined and implemented without arbitrariness, biases, prejudices and corruption therefore covetousness, presumption, arrogance and violence.

PROEM & POEM No. 133 - Incapable of Gray / Part 4

      It follows, the specie human is incapable of gray not per reluctance, unwillingness, stubbornness, preference, morality, philosophy, religion, rather solely black and white per the constantly exercised Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, inseparably the consistently expressed Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent on all matters. To reversely engineer, the specie human is incapable of not expressing his/her Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent, inseparably incapable of not exercising his/her Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, therefore incapable of gray. For all matters are considered, deliberated, prioritized thus reasoned as tolerable or intolerable, acceptable or unacceptable, wanted or unwanted, desirable or undesirable, necessary or unnecessary thus ultimately, outwardly expressed as his/her consent or dissent by action, gesture, voice or writ.

      To not be such is to not be, hence to reason is human else nothing more than instinctive beasts feasting on carcasses, fucking in fields upon fighting over both (see previous book’s Nos. 22-24, 33-34).

Have we rightly honored those who died on 11 September 2001?

To honor those who died on 11 September 2001, is to remember them as we would anyone else who passed on regardless the situation. If singly or massively murdered by individuals or groups, we avenge by properly engaging investigation, diligently gathering evidence, legally charging suspects followed by timely commencing due process thus trial by jury or judge so to determine the accused as guilty beyond shadow of doubt else not guilty, then respectively sentenced or promptly freed. If killed upon invasion by a foreign government, we militarily react to quell any aggression in progress only to pause thereafter in order to publicly debate as well congressionally deliberate and vote towards a constitutional declaration of war or not.

That is, if we were a civil society oppose to a presumptuous empire. As the latter, we ignored the preceding decades of foreign meddling, intervening and disrupting, implicated whole countries with little to no evidence, propagandized the world and ourselves too, therefore invaded, destroyed, occupied hence indiscriminately killed by bombing and drone'ing as well captured, tortured, denied rights and due process, allowed wholesale domestic spying and arresting of whistle-blowers in record numbers, continuously, increasingly with no end in sight 18 years later.

Have we rightly honored those who died on 11 September 2001? Individually, we each must judge such things for ourselves. Nationally, by the endless warmongering, I must say without hesitation; we have not! My apologies.

PROEM & POEM No. 131 - Incapable of Gray / Part 2

      Oddly though interestingly in contrast to the previous proem, I am told by some fellow Christian practitioners I see in gray the world they argue is clearly black and white, more often stated as good versus evil or righteous versus unrighteous, thus concluding, categorizing then condemning as anything goes my constant perspective and consistent posture regarding the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent on all matters, inseparably respecting the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason. Plainly, I am seen as rejecting their particular religious list of dos and don’ts. Politely of course I retort as before (see No. 130) with a challenge; are not actions or activities involving two or more solely upon unanimous consent far from anything goes, for without consent the exchange is theft, labor is slavery, entrance is invasion, termination is murder, and endlessly more if to exemplify all possible human endeavors.

      Consequently, I do not see in gray rather in black and white the same world some see in their various grays per convenient exceptions and opportunistic compromises therefore inconsistent thus complex, while others see in their various blacks and whites per religious, denominational or sectarian preferences also inconsistent thus complex.

      Upon logically as well passionately understanding the ethic by regarding and respecting the individual’s right to consent thus ability to reason, there naturally comes the further awareness of the inherent consistency thus simplicity. Although no one will admit it, the consistency thus simplicity are rejected as impractical, ridiculed as fantastical and the why is quite obvious; the unwanted inconvenience imposed upon the common preference to use political, social or criminal force upon others. For unequivocally one expects others’ regard for his/her prerogative or right to consent versus dissent, of course, yet covetousness left unchecked inevitably disregards others’ prerogative or right to consent versus dissent. To complicate the matter a bit more, very few are cold and callous enough to knowingly carry on. Hence to peacefully sleep at night, most will conjure some rationalization, justification even glorification of ideas and principles, in order to pacify the intellect and conscience. Unwittingly a different sort of coldness, callousness therefore perversion emerges within the mind, heart and soul by the initial and continual pacification until a logical awakening or awareness intervenes and convicts.

PROEM & POEM No. 132 - Incapable of Gray / Part 3

      Perhaps it would be appropriate to enumerate examples by inquiring once again (see previous book’s Nos. 1-4, 83-90). What is murder if not termination of human life without Consent? What is rape or sexual violation, if not physically intimate activity without Consent? What is slavery if not employment, labor or duty without Consent? What is theft or extortion, if not barter, purchase, loan, gift or charity without Consent? What is assault if not a spar or match without Consent? What is abduction if not association, guardian or companionship without Consent?

      What is an intruder if not a relative, friend or guest crossing the door’s threshold without Consent?  What is an invader if not an ally crossing the border without Consent? What is morality or ethic without consistency if not individual prerogative, mere arbitrariness even heedless whimsy?  Logically, consistency demands exhaustive inquires similar to what was asked of murder, rape slavery and theft. 

      More specifically, what is tyranny if not any governance without Consent? It matters not the form whether it is theocracy, monocracy, plutocracy, perhaps oligarchy, democracy, ochlocracy or another, only unanimous Consent initially and continuously determines the arrangement as tolerable, acceptable, desirable, justifiable even ethical. If unanimous Consent minus simply one, two, three or more individuals, then intolerable, unacceptable, undesirable, unjustifiable even unethical.

      What is the justification of any arrangement intimate, private, philosophical, spiritual, theological, public, social or political between two persons or more if not Consent expressed by each individual? To go further, what is the justification of any arrangement between two dozen, two hundred, two thousand, two million or more people if not Consent expressed initially and continuously by each individual?

      What is the justification of any political, economic Ism if not Consent expressed by every seller, buyer, barterer, trader, producer, consumer, investor, entrepreneur, lender, borrower, employer, employee, manager, labor and all other various participants in the economy? Again, to go further, what is Communism, Fascism, Old European Mercantilism, American Cronyism, as well Socialism (always dependent on any of the former), if not imposition, intervention and intrusion upon economic activity, of course lacking unanimous Consent, thus lacking justification?

      What is Tyranny or Slavery? It is one's presumption to benefit by unilaterally exacted force from another's time or products of time (i.e. monies, possessions, properties, etc.) of course without the latter's consent. At length, it is one's presumption to benefit by unilaterally exacted force from another's exertions of all sorts physical, economical, sexual, intellectual, psychological, emotional, etc. of course without the latter's consent.

Total Sum of Reason

Typically yet misguidedly reiterated in art's various lyrical modes, the specie human emotes or feels while searching truth or meaning. However, to pursue ever elusive truths is to observe, read, study, listen, ponder, communicate, dialogue, compare, calculate, conclude, apply while diligently laboring thus bearing risk and responsibility, the total sum of reason, an arduously necessary process to be endlessly repeated over and over again until one's final sigh.

The American model, democracy, a historical error.... Hans-Hermann Hoppe

"The American model – democracy – must be regarded as a historical error, economically as well as morally. Democracy promotes shortsightedness, capital waste, irresponsibility, and moral relativism. It leads to permanent compulsory income and wealth redistribution and legal uncertainty. It is counterproductive. It promotes demagoguery and egalitarianism. It is aggressive and potentially totalitarian internally, vis-à-vis its own population, as well as externally. In sum, it leads to a dramatic growth of state power, as manifested by the amount of parasitically – by means of taxation and expropriation – appropriated government income and wealth in relation to the amount of productively – through market exchange – acquired private income and wealth, and by the range and invasiveness of state legislation. Democracy is doomed to collapse, just as Soviet communism was doomed to collapse."

Hans-Hermann Hoppe

Quote taken from his 2001 book Democracy - The God That Failed. Hoppe is an economist, philosopher, professor emeritus at UNLV, senior fellow at Ludwig von Mises Institute, and founder/president of Property and Freedom Society.
