Quote by W. Stanley Jevons

"The laws of thought are natural laws with which we have no power to interfere, and which are of course not to be in any way confused with the artificial laws of a country, which are invented by men and can be altered by them."

W. Stanley Jevons (1835-1882)

A third or so into his book Thinking as a Science, Henry Hazlitt (1894-1993) recommends Jevons' book Elementary Lessons In Logic Deductive & Inductive, thus immediately bought it online, received it yesterday ergo the quote above.

As much as we have no power to interfere with laws of thought as Mr Jevons suggests, or perhaps no right to interfere per common human propensity to dissent against the interference (as I prefer to suggest), government insists and persists to expend resources, exert effort as well exercise compulsion so to persuade individual thought therefore manipulate collective behavior. Thusly provided in part by centrally designed pedagogy, funded in part by centrally planned economy, the persuasion and manipulation are for the sole purpose to preempt the otherwise rightfully self-interested dissent in favor of facilitating craftily imbued consent.

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.

Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
