12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 247

Most likely to be published later this summer of 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 following will probably be included upon further editing, and front cover a slightly modified yet appropriate version of the 10th and 11th books...



PROPOSITION, PROBLEM & POEM No. 247

~ Two-Thousand and Twenty-One ~

Behold! Upon the year of our Lord two-thousand and twenty-one, wickedness long darkened the land liken the postdiluvian 9th Plague, hardening to stone the hearts from kings to princes, wizards to jesters, sages to scribes, priests to acolytes, teachers to students, generals to sergeant-majors, mariners to merchants, subjects to slaves then charlatans to tricksters of every imaginative sort among the two major tribes, corrupting then perverting Ethics, Moralities as well Sciences as lamentable as Political Science and the various Mystical Isms (save one). All no longer discernible nor distinguishable, thus the remnant few mourned whose minds remained untouched by the corruption and perversion.

For once upon a time, there were Ethics, Moralities as well Sciences, the observation, examination then determination of consistency in pursuit of truth, as well Political Science, the presumption of covetousness in pursuit of power. Each and all clearly discernible, distinguishable thus the people rejoiced for the former, lamented per the latter. With that lyrically said, the 2nd Christmas arrived amid the worldwide Great Oppression, still no end of it in sight. The woke masses fast asleep `neath Despotism's comfort blanket, while wide-eyed, clear-minded Brethren of Liberty everywhere write, speak, lobby, petition even demonstrate against the merciless Tyranny thus ruthless Inhumanity.

However let all understand the rot at root of the matter, for the clear and present Tyranny is not of late rather sprung long ago per the erroneous notion to coercively mold and forcefully shape societies according to everyone's respective preferences via perceptively sacred Democratic Elections therefore legislation, regulation, taxation, monetary-expansion, subsidization, education, prohibition, sanction, incarceration, militarization and more. Plainly, all supported, campaigned then elected so to ultimately coerce, forcing dissenters to bend to consenters’ will.

Unrecognized of course the posture and character of such notion aforesaid; Perversion driven by Covetousness, the antithesis to the one logical, consistent hence ethical Ism. Again, let all understand clearly, concisely, conclusively the following definitions.

Perversion; per the most contemptible, abominable, barbarous, nefarious as well depraved, reprobated of definitions; for one 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. It is critical to include in consideration and understanding the word and sentiment covetousness as the indisputable perquisite to such perversion.

Individualism; to regard hence respect each and every person's Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on ALL matters as manifested per each and every person's Peculiar Human Ability to Reason. Without exemption or exception, all considerations must rest upon the aforesaid, else the unethical dilemma remaining unjustifiable ergo unresolvable till resumed and revered the one ethos and creed as determined then established since humanity first reasoned.

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

Mortality uncoiling per (in)humanity’s madness, toiling upon wailing
Amid the covetousness, though towers once ivory’ed now Babel’ing
Foiled then failing per true frailties of false sanctities regarded by all
O great the fall, grave the gall then vex as hexed, rex’ing towards thrall

12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; 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.

The pursuit of knowledge, logic, consistency, ethic, truth, discernment, wisdom...

 

Per my humble opinion the quote is perhaps one of the most inspiring...

"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."

Henry Hazlitt (1894-1993), taken from his 1916 book Thinking as a Science. Per my humble opinion the quote is perhaps one of the most inspiring.

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.

12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 244

Most likely to be published later this summer of 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 Science of One ~

It is true that as the empty voids and the dismal wilderness belong to zero, so the spirit of God and His light belong to the all-powerful One.

            Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz (1646-1716)

            The human mind as well soul possess the inherency or propensity for the number one (1), oft exemplified by the attraction towards some unity, duty, nationality, morality, activity, etc. sentimentally even emotionally singular else perceptively exceptional. As misguided slightly, largely or horrifically, the innate notion is not to be dismissed entirely. For sentimentalism or emotionalism regularly shroud thus conceal from otherwise unencumbered observation the logical, consistent, ethical one.

It is to be said observably, logically, consistently even ethically, as much a particular unity, duty, nationality, morality, activity may be appropriate upon mutual/unanimous consent, more regularly the categorical singular consideration thus actual one conclusion is gravely transgressed, undermining any further objectives…

For amid the incited hence excited charge forward into unity or nationality therefore presumptuously expected the arbitrarily enumerated requirements, individuality’s one requirement unavoidably, unjustly sacrificed then decimated.

For amid the incited hence excited charge forward into duty, morality or activity therefore presumptuously expected the arbitrarily enumerated requirements, individuality’s one requirement unavoidably, unjustly sacrificed then decimated.

To be plain, collectives per coercively formed unions or forcefully established nations as well any-ocracy (yes, including democracy) and/or any-ism (save one ism) constantly, consistently trample the one the individual. To be plainer still, bills thus lists of demanded rights or imposed moralities constantly, consistently trample the one the Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on all matters. Concisely, the aforesaid Singular Human Right defines even equates to Individualism, thereby Individualism defined even equated to the Singular Human Right. The two accordingly are observably, logically, consistently, ethically synonymous ergo one.

Fonder the morphine in cold hands, for diseased veins and minds
Sickened the soul, non-quickened the heart o’er the bestial grind

To consistently understand liberty thus morality, one should comparably, rightly understand perversion...

www.DCQuillanStone.com (books) / www.CafePerQ.com (blogs)

Proem & Poem No. 190 - A Reprobate Mind

To consistently understand liberty thus morality, one should comparably, rightly understand perversion by the most contemptible, abominable, barbarous, nefarious as well depraved, reprobated of definitions. So it follows.

Perversion; to consent or dissent on all matters per one’s preference, yet remain discontented, disconcerted even disturbed until others act, speak even think compatibly, similarly even acceptably whether by force legal or force illegal.

It is critical to include the consideration then understanding of the word and sentiment covetousness as the indisputable perquisite to such perversion. Furthermore, if to dismiss or discard this logically ethical understanding of perversion, then in so doing consistently dismiss or discard any logically ethical understanding of liberty thus morality therefore unrestrained the depravity, reprobated the mind. 

---

Respectfully reprobated while aligned beside entwined
Neglectfully desolated, once reasoned thereupon resigned
The peculiar mind divinely gifted, perversely scripted
Covetously drifted, presumptuously shifted till addicted

Then arrogantly twisted, riotously tightfisted so to purloin
Conjoined with conjured moralities, thus others enjoined
Such coined absurdities, demanding undeserved gratuities
Else insisting the larcenies as persisting the abnormalities

The text below the opening paragraphs for my forthcoming 12th book (sometime mid 2022), 3rd of a trilogy, thusly entitled; Propositions, Problems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters...


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.

To New Zealand prime minister; f-ck you and your latest draconian measure upon tobacco aficionados. I am sure some in my country "covet" to do the same.

"For a moment, ponderously consider and precisely understand the word perversion by the most contemptible, abominable, barbarous, nefarious as well depraved, reprobated of definitions; for one 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. It is critical to include in consideration and understanding the word and sentiment covetousness as the indisputable perquisite to such perversion."

Quote and article by Prince Michael von Liechtenstein...

"The quip “L’Etat, c’est moi,” or “I am the state,” is attributed to him. For her part, the chancellor ignored legal limitations and the long-term interests of her republic, and instead made decisions based on political expediency or “feel-good” morality." --- Prince Michael von Liechtenstein

In United States, many currently assume the critique would also apply to one particular party, when in fact both major parties and respective politicians have shamefully behaved accordingly for decades. President Biden's current rule-by-mandate may be "slightly" unprecedented but certainly not new, particularly upon the era of perpetual warmongering (war on terror) in the Mideast along with the rise of mass surveillance foreign and domestic. For logically, one must contend that today's expanded despotism in America was made possible by past incremental expansions of the same.

Interestingly, Dr Fauci's "I am Science!" rings quite familiar, too closely thus concerningly similar to King Louis XIV's "I am the State!"

The Merkel Era and the Danger of Centralization, by Prince Michael von Liechtenstein...

Golden Rule without the Silver Rule is meaningless...

Alternatively (to the quote/image), the Golden Rule without the Silver Rule is meaningless if not interfering, imposing, intrusive, invading, etc. As a reminder...

GOLDEN RULE; therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them (Mt 7:12 KJV), or do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

SILVER RULE; therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should NOT do to you, NOT do ye even so to them, or do NOT unto others as you would have them do NOT unto you.

Regularly forgotten is the former's implication of the latter's truism and absolute, of course to mean a mutuality tolerable, acceptable, desirable that is to say, consensual. For often Golden Rule advocates presume what is "good" to do is also "good" to enforce, thereby ignoring even trampling the Silver Rule.

It is one thing for Democrat supporters to still follow their political party's disinformation and propaganda, quite another for Republican supporters to have learned nothing thus still follow their political party's disinformation and propaganda.

A political party's priorities are always to win elections, occupy offices, gain control, acquire power while principles routinely compromised even abandoned, presumption then corruption inevitably ensuing. To compare party platforms is merely comparing various governmentally coercive means for various politically convenient ends, that is to say, consenters forcefully, immorally imposing upon dissenters.

If one's primary objectives are freedom, privacy, responsibility, individualism then RESCISSION over further LEGISLATION the only logical means to such ethical ends.

To define consistently INDIVIDUALISM; the consistent regard for each and every person's Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on ALL matters, hence inseparably the constant respect for each and every person's Peculiar Human Ability to Reason.

American Christians have failed to be "salt of the earth" (Mt 5:13)...

American Christians have failed to be "salt of the earth" (Mt 5:13)...


"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound."

Isaiah 61:1 (KJV)

Thus Christians in United States largely do not equip themselves, that is, equip their minds, before attempting "to proclaim Liberty", rather assuming as suffice their quite narrow knowledge denominationally doctrinal and/or politically partisan. Only pride and ignorance can emanate from such a posture. For the mind, the peculiarly human ability to reason, is God's greatest gift to Mankind, a grace common to all second only to His Grace Particular. All too often ignored or dismissed in favor of just one book are God given discoveries and insights by philosophers, logicians, praxeologists, economists, historians like Aristotle, Porphyry, Abelard, Leibniz, Boole, Jevons, Mill, Wittgenstein, Shannon, Turgot, Bastiat, Menger, Hazlitt, Mises, Rothbard and many more.

As the great mathematician, philosopher, logician even poet George Boole (1815-1864) humbly observed, "The general laws of Nature are not, for the most part, immediate objects of perception.“, therefore...

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."

2nd Timothy 2:15 (KJV)

Note:
The foresaid may well apply to Christians of other countries, however courtesy dictates to be the harshest among one's own, to "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" (Mt 7:3-5)... :-)

You can act like a man!

"You can act like a man! (slap to Johnny's face)... What's the matter with you? Is this how you turned out? A Hollywood finocchio that ah cries like a woman? What can I do?! What can I do? What is that nonsense? Ridiculous... You spend time with your family? Good.  'Cause a man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man."

Vito Corleone, played by Marlon Brando (1924-2004)

Perhaps intended more for entertainment than wise counsel. That is, amid early 1970s' fads and trends to emotionally express even rant while blaming parents and society for one's adult choices, as encouraged by daytime talk show psychologists promoting their latest paperback of nonsense.

"Nonsense?" one would question. Judge and compare the psychological as well educational, social, political encouragement then and since to today's adolescent behaviors among adults of all ages of all professions. Astonishingly pathetic! As Jordan Peterson would suggest more professionally without the expletive, clean your goddamn room and grow up.

Fearing to offend the many celebrities who spoke and wrote commonly, little been said by media about his HONORABLE choice to NOT publicly talk NOR publish a book about his plight, rather to remain silent as a true MAN of HARDY character.

Covetousness... At root of ALL political arrogance, and social presumption therefore the resulting governmental manipulation and confiscation, as well driving ALL personal jealousy and envy...

At root of ALL political arrogance, and social presumption therefore the resulting governmental manipulation and confiscation, as well driving ALL personal jealousy and envy...

"The climax of the Ten Commandments is the Tenth Commandment – 'Thou shat not covet' – Actually we break this last commandment, not to covet, before we break any of the others. Any time that we break one of the other commandments of God, it means that we have already broken this commandment, in coveting."

Francis Schaeffer (1912-1984)


The above quote is perhaps the most profound, far-reaching Biblical commentary of the 20th century, well articulated and postulated by theologian Francis Schaeffer (1912-1984) in his 1971 book True Spirituality, identifying the last of the Ten Commandments as already broken before breaking any of the previous nine. To summarize, all sins flow from the one sin; covetousness. Yet the profoundness, the described depth and implied breadth, therefore the logic and consistency by that insight and truth are best understood by rightly expanding the summary as well the Schaefferian text. That is to say, the disrespect and disregard of others' reasoning manifested by their dissent, thus unilateral actions against the same, spring always from covetousness first, soon followed by presumption then arrogance and if acted upon personally, socially or politically; violence.
 
So must be proposed and stated again the Schaefferian Law of Anterior Covetousness; if an action disregarding dissent (not consensual), then anterior the covetousness as the initial speculation, presumption the consequential disposition, arrogance, disrespect thus disregard the eventual manifestation.

Note:
The above quote and text as part of my forthcoming 12th book Propositions, Problems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters, to be published sometime mid 2022.

City becomes Republic of Oroville? Well done!

City becomes Republic of Oroville? I find this interesting as a Mississippian though native and former resident of California's northern Central Valley, Hwy 49 Foothills as well Humboldt County.

Many outside California may be aware of the Bear Flag Revolt joined by both Americanos and Californios against the Mexican government's brand of despotism. What the same many may not be aware was the rebellious formation and 3-month existence of The Great Republic of Rough and Ready, against the territorial/federal rule of the larger California thus United States (over taxes once again).

THUS in that grand longstanding tradition of local nay individual sovereignty, now The Republic of Oroville. I tip my hat and raise a glass. Well done!

Quote by D.C. Quillan Stone regarding Fascism, Communism, Cronyism, Socialism then Individualism.

FASCISM is of course the top-down regulatory methodology towards total control of the economy, while COMMUNISIM the bottom-up confiscatory methodology towards total control of the economy. Thus the two are paths for the same objective.

CRONYISM or CORPORATISM is merely Fascism in part although progressing incrementally, digressing inevitably towards total control of the economy.

SOCIALISM is the stale bread tossed to the Roman mob thereupon insatiably covetous for every sort of arrogated middling. That is to say, the foregoing of their Individual sovereignty, power thus freedom so to be appeased, subsidized and purchased with goods, services even monies underwritten by mass Fascistic regulatory or Communistic confiscatory appropriation of a person’s purse, possession, property and production and the subjugation of the same person’s propensity, prerogative, preference and purpose.

INDIVIDUALISM, in stark contrast to the former, is the constant respect hence consistent regard for each and every person's Peculiar Human Ability to Reason manifested as the Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on all matters.

Certainly news agencies like CNN, MSNBC, BBC and other major networks are not covering the mass demonstrations around the world against economic lockdowns, vaccine/mask mandates, vaccine passports thus crimes against humanity, while Fox News and those of similar persuasions provide minimal attention. Only alternative news appropriately, rightly cover these historic events.

The false narratives (propaganda) and congressional investigation regarding Jan 6 demonstration are having "chilling effects" upon coverage of any demonstration, the same insidious effects intended of course by Department of Justice Secretary memo to the FBI about parents at local school board meetings.

Intimidation and threat escalated to unprecedented levels in the city streets of 2020 remaining uncharged and unprosecuted, the same expedient method now cloaked and draped in polities and legalities. Yet there continues a hesitancy to compare the rise of American Fascism the last two decades (at least) to the rise of German Fascism the two decades between WW1 and WW2.

In case words and terms are still problematic, consider the below logical, consistent definitions...

FASCISM is of course the top-down regulatory methodology towards total control of the economy, while COMMUNISIM the bottom-up confiscatory methodology towards total control of the economy. Thus the two are paths for the same objective.

SOCIALISM is the stale bread tossed to the Roman mob thereupon insatiably covetous for every sort of arrogated middling. That is to say, the foregoing of their Individual sovereignty, power thus freedom so to be appeased, subsidized and purchased with goods, services even monies underwritten by mass Fascistic regulatory or Communistic confiscatory appropriation of a person’s purse, possession, property and production and the subjugation of the same person’s propensity, prerogative, preference and purpose.
 
INDIVIDUALISM, in stark contrast to the former, is the constant respect hence consistent regard for each and every person's Peculiar Human Ability to Reason manifested as the Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on all matters.



Saturday well spent...

Saturday well spent... Italian brewed coffee with bit of Venezuelan distilled rum while studying and writing, then drove midday to local soccer games, returned to bake some oat bread then boil up some potato soup loaded with celery, sweet onion, carrots, bacon with a bottle of Southern Pecan beer and topped with water for broth, thus enjoyed a modest bowl that evening complimented with whiskey then 4 1/2 mason jars worth of soup to store.



"It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men."

Samuel Adams (1722-1803)

"Man is free at the moment he wishes to be."

Voltaire (1694-1778)

"Liberty is the natural condition of the people. Servitude, however, is fostered when people are raised in subjection. People are trained to adore rulers. While freedom is forgotten by many there are always some who will never submit."

Étienne de La Boétie (1530-1563)

12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 221

Most likely to be published later this summer of 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 following will probably be included upon further editing, and front cover a slightly modified yet appropriate version of the 10th and 11th books...


PROPOSITION, PROBLEM & POEM No. 221

~ Two Propositions on Humanity and Polity / 3rd Reprise ~

Ergo the human lot as the one specie remarkably, powerfully reasonable, peculiarly so among all other species non-reasonable (see Proem & Poem Nos. 22-24, 33, 34), however as such well constrained, limited even flawed per the ineluctable existence non-omnipresent, non-omniscient therefore non-omnipotent, consequently the innate propensity for error and excess, the intrinsic tendency for covetousness and corruption thereby personally empowered, narrowly exasperated then locally calamitous.

If to observably, logically, consistently accept humanity thus described and defined, then would not the same characteristics and dynamics unavoidably pervade and permeate each and every human effort, human endeavor, human enterprise and human establishment?

Ergo the government frame as proposed, deliberated, designed, constituted, ratified, initiated, sustained, maintained, expanded as well executed by the one specie remarkably, powerfully reasonable, peculiarly so among all other species non-reasonable, however as such well constrained, limited even flawed per the ineluctable existence non-omnipresent, non-omniscient therefore non-omnipotent, consequently the innate propensity for error and excess, the intrinsic tendency for covetousness and corruption  thereby legally empowered, broadly exasperated then nationally calamitous.

If to observably, logically, consistently accept government thus described and defined, then would not the same characteristics and dynamics unavoidably pervade and permeate each and every governmental effort, governmental endeavor, governmental enterprise and governmental establishment?

The mind reprobate, unable or unwilling to fairly observe
Forming the logical curve, from empirical to ethical nerve
Coexistence preserve, thus existence conserve then survive
As well thrive, thwarted alone, by imposition as contrived 

Force; the covetousness perfectly bloomed in colors of blood
Introrsely the presumptuousness upon the impassioned floods
Clouds o’er reddish mud, aft’ fiery pillars then smoky plumes
Per society’s killers onto the twilight-dance in polity’s ballroom

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.

12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 220

Most likely to be published later this summer of 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 following will probably be included upon further editing, and front cover a slightly modified yet appropriate version of the 10th and 11th books...


PROPOSITION, PROBLEM & POEM No. 220

~ Two Propositions on Humanity and Polity / 2nd Reprise ~

If there is any presumption it is the other way against holders of power, increasing as the power increases. Historic responsibility has to make up for the want of legal responsibility. Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority: still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority. There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it.

Lord Acton (1834-1902)

Absolute power (see Proem & Poem No. 174) corrupts absolutely! Indeed, history proved innumerably, horrifically the axiom, as occurring today therefore lessons astonishingly remain yet learned. To elaborate further hence another unavoidable, observable truism squarely founded upon the equally unavoidable, observable fact; marginal power corrupts marginally, for corruption is unavoidably in direct proportion. Power of any measure inevitably germinates the dormant and corruptible seed Covetousness ever-present, if watered by unprincipled consideration then developing into Presumption iridescent, if sunned by unscrupulous anticipation then maturing into Arrogance effervescent, of course onto Violation subsequent as purposed thus Violence consequent as proposed. To remedy, simply reduce or remove the power by rescission.

Consequently to propose and define logically, ethically hence consistently; Violence is one’s action directed towards and against another’s dissent explicit or dissent implicit per consent unexpressed. It matters not the former person’s intent, objective, benefit nor office if politically empowered else station or status, neither the latter person’s error in judgment or resulting detriment in so dissenting; Violation thus Violence nonetheless!

---

Forlorn inwardly, although swilling outwardly, excessively
Errantly hence monstrously, ah societies’ odes perversely
Per illogic upon hypotheses, fitly, egotistic preferences
Covetously driven as the given, arrogating for conveniences 

The mind reprobate, unable or unwilling to fairly observe
Forming the logical curve, from empirical to ethical nerve
Coexistence preserve, thus existence conserve then survive
As well thrive, thwarted alone, by imposition as contrived

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.

Exposing my madness... or is it so mad?

Exposing my madness... or is it so mad? :-)

First image shows preliminary notes while developing two natural laws of ethic(s) regarding the "singular human right to consent or dissent on all matters". I shall propose the Law of Consensual Unity and Law of Ethical Continuity in my forthcoming 12th book entitled Propositions, Problems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters...

No. 225 - Law of Consensual Unity / Part 1
No. 226 - Law of Consensual Unity / Part 2
No. 227 - Law of Ethical Continuity / Part 1
No. 228 - Law of Ethical Continuity / Part 2
No. 229 - Laws, Gates, Tables and Expressions / Part 1
No. 230 - Laws, Gates, Tables and Expressions / Part 2

I relied on Leibniz's development of binary, Boole's logical use of algebra and binary (later known as Boolean algebra or logic), Wittgenstein's truth tables, Shannon's logic gates thus digital circuit theory as well Boole's insistence that properly written syllogism can be expressed algebraically. Hence I made use of my own logical constructions of two proposed laws as syllogisms then demonstrated the consistencies by way of truth tables, logic gates and pseudo code.

Why should I prove the consistency of my ethical argument regarding the "right to consent or dissent on all matters"? Without consistency as prerequisite, any ethical as well truthful, factual, scientific, mathematical proposition and conclusion would be suspicious if not arbitrary. If to persist then insist on such arbitrariness then presumption and arrogance as gravely demonstrated widespread in today's academia, science, morality, society, polity and more.

Additionally, I will be syllogistically proposing another consistency thus ethic, by referencing as the Schaefferian Law of Anterior Covetousness per my last book's Proem & Poem Nos. 147-155 logically founded upon the 1st chapter of the 1971 book True Spirituality by theologian Francis Schaeffer (1912-1984). So it follows, if disrespected, disregarded, transgressed then trampled the Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on ALL matters, Covetousness always without exception the rot at core of such disrespect, disregard, transgression and trample.

No. 231 - Schaefferian Law of Anterior Covetousness / Part 1
No. 232 - Schaefferian Law of Anterior Covetousness / Part 2

"It is worse still to be ignorant of your ignorance."

Saint Jerome (342-420 AD)

Note:
Painting by Caravaggio (1571-1610) entitled "San Girolamo scrivente" currently at Galleria Borghese in Rome. Perhaps my favorite of the classics per the studiousness encouraged by both the art and subject.

Government is the negation of liberty...

Gubernatorial election results in Virginia should be as much a wakeup call for Republicans as it obviously is for Democrats. Both parties have a long history of big government spending as well taxing, regulating, banning, sanctioning, subsidizing, surveilling, warring and more. Is it possible reasonable people of all backgrounds are beginning to actually prefer LESS government? I certainly hope so!

"Government is the negation of liberty."

Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973)

Tuesday, November 2, 2021

RESCISSION, RESCISSION and more RESCISSION, the one path to Liberty thus the one ethical ism; Individualism.

RESCISSION, RESCISSION and more RESCISSION, the one path to Liberty thus the one ethical ism; Individualism.

Consequently, NOT more legislation proposed by either Democrat Party or Republican Party, NOR legislation intended to fix past legislation that merely complicate and compound.



        So what is Individualism if not the variations among nebulous even specious equivocations; self reliance or determination, even selfishness or greed, and so on impractically as well detrimentally? Since the turn of the 21st century, the latter have been a newly popular argument gaining momentum so to mendaciously condemn Individualism as antisocial, uncharitable even callous. The former, older argument retorts quickly, steadfastly while minutely appropriate, thus defending with no more precision than the later, vague accusation. Consequently, both lack practical application without ethical dilemmas.

        Concisely hence precisely, Individualism is the constant respect and consistent regard towards each and every person’s Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, inseparably the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent, prerequisite to all matters intimate, private, philosophical, spiritual, theological, public, social, political, that is to say, all matters ethical synonymously all matters human. By this, all actions or activities between two to two-million or more individuals are inherently, invariably judged regardless of polities, legalities, theologies, philosophies, ideologies, popularities, categorically upon disrespect and disregard; presumptuous arbitraries, magnanimous fantasies or gratuitous whimsies.

O Pax Humanum , carissimum te esse mibi, connaturally
Companionably, he then she, Libertatem, consequently
Inferably feral the human reasoning, soon the consenting
Or attuned dissenting, if impugned the fuckin’ shackling

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.

Oft' simplicities suffice...

Oft' simplicities suffice as it was the last several days; thought provoking theological/ethical book, iced coffee with slice of lime, modest meal of boiled egg, split carrots, hummus, homegrown parsley as well Kentucky bourbon, nuts and raisins (as another meal), Memphis (local) brew, fine pipe tobacco, garden setting and homemade rye bread... :-)

"And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of ALL his labour."

Ecclesiastes 3:13

Note:
That is to say "all his labour" thus no intervention nor confiscation by another individual larcenous, band or gang rapacious as well governments covetous and presumptuous without exception. The question is of course, did the third Hebrew king who regularly taxed and confiscated as any other crowned head, intended the word "ALL" or was it Solomon's ecclesiastical slip as discussed in my 11th book More Proems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters (Feb 2021).
