PROPOSITION, PROBLEM & POEM No. 235

~ Schaefferian Law of Anterior Covetousness / Part 5 ~

However to compliment the law’s pseudo code (see Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 234), consider also the AND gate(s) diagram expanded from 2 to 4 input variables, as well the Boolean algebraic (analytical) expression(s) thereof…

                                    .           .

                        A à     |  AND |

                                    |           |   à E[1]  (1^st conclusion)

                        B à     |   gate  |

 

                        ƒ(A,B) = A*B

 

 

if E[1] = 1 then…

                                    .           .

                        E[1] à |  AND |

                                    |           |   à E[2]  (2^nd conclusion)

                        C à     |   gate  |

 

                        ƒ(E[1],C) = E[1]*C

 

 

if E[2] = 1 then…

                                    .           .

                        E[2] à |  AND |

                                    |           |   à E[3]  (3^rd conclusion)

                        D à     |   gate  |

 

                        ƒ(E[2],D) = E[2]*D

 

                        -or-

 

                        ƒ(A,B,C,D) = (((A*B)*C)*D)

            Categorically, A represents covetousness (c), B represents presumption (p), C represents arrogance (a) and D represents violence (v), any act or activity levied against dissent. Numerically binary, A, B, C and D will be the respective characteristics expressed when existent or occurring thus equaling to 1 (one), else nonexistent or not occurring thus equaling to 0 (zero), therefore the below truth table(s) (0,0,0,1) or conclusions…

e = ethical dilemma

n = not an ethical dilemma

                

c = covetousness (arousing con dissent)

p = presumption (flirting con dissent)

a = arrogance (plotting con dissent)

v = violence (acting con dissent)

 

                        A(c)     B(p)     E[1] (1^st conclusion)

                        0          0          0

                        1          0          0

                        0          1          null (w/o covetousness)

                        1(prq)  1          1

                                   

ƒ(A,B) = A*B = E[1]  (0,0,null,1)

 

                        E[1]     C(a)     E[2] (2^nd conclusion)

                        0          0          0

                        1          0          0

                        0          1          null (w/o presumption)

                        1(prq)  1          1

                       

ƒ(E[1],C) = E[1]*C = E[2]  (0,0,null,1)

 

                        E[2]     D(v)     E[3] (3^rd conclusion)

                        0          0          0

                        1          0          0

                        0          1          null (w/o arrogance)

                        1(prq)  1          1

                       

ƒ(E[2],D) = E[2]*D = E[3]  (0,0,null,1)

 

-or-

 

ƒ(A,B) = (((A*B)*C)*D) = E (0,1,1,1)

It is important to note the prerequisites (prq), else not applicable or null. If E (conclusion) equals 1, then D (violence) equals 1. If D (violence) equals 1, then C (arrogance) equals 1. If C (arrogance) equals 1, then B (presumption) equals 1. If B (presumption) equals 1, then A (covetousness) equals 1. So it follows, A (covetousness) equaling 1 indicates the initial state or condition upon any instance B (presumption), C (arrogance) then D (violence) each dependently equaling 1. Consequently without exception, E (conclusion) equaling to 1 as the unresolved ethical dilemma until D (violence) equals 0 once again per cessation of acting (or action) con dissent, regardless the states or conditions of C (arrogance), B (presumption) and A (covetousness). 

Universally understood as well consistent with Boolean logic as utilized per AND gate’s algebraic/analytical expression thus truth table, common agreement establishes a constancy between the conditions ethical dilemma versus not an ethical dilemma. Though yet demonstrated the ethical argument, the prerequisite logical argument as shown prior does in fact demonstrates consistency.

            It is true, many would theologically even universally argue a ceaselessly prevailing covetousness harboring within the mind, heart and soul of mankind, ever ready to incite, excite then ignite presumption, arrogance as well violence. To align of course with the reformed posture regarding total depravity, the first point of Calvinism, a theological discussion suggesting universality of the same would be another philosophical and/or psychological conversation perhaps ardent debate. It is suffice observably, logically, consistently therefore ethically to propose covetousness as anterior, the necessary prerequisite to presumption, arrogance and certainly violence per aforesaid definition.

Actus me invito factus non est meus actus, as Individualism’s praxis
Opposed to all other isms’ modus operandi regardless the political axis
Thus observable fact is; if arrogance succeeds, presumption precedes
And covetousness the original seed toward government’s violent deeds

O the silent bleed from coercively inoculated veins, sunken the eyes
Drunken the tongues, feigned per lies unapologetically o’er the sighs
Wry the cries yet sublime upon the fantastically fraudulent assurance
Contrarily odd per the observable occurrences of oligarchic prurience

12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 234

PROPOSITION, PROBLEM & POEM No. 234

~ Schaefferian Law of Anterior Covetousness / Part 4 ~

To articulate yet another perhaps final time the Law of Anterior Covetousness; if an action disregarding dissent (not consensual), then anterior the covetousness as the initial speculation, presumption, later arrogance the consequential disposition, disrespect next disregard the eventual manifestation.

            Consequently, again consider the following pseudo code (see Proposition, Problem & Poem Nos. 225-230), particularly the addendum inserted…

 

if consensual

then

 unity

else (not consensual)

not unity

if action disregarding dissent

then

ethical dilemma…

 

Addendum; hence logically exposing, deductively proposing the Schaefferian Law of Anterior Covetousness.

 

e = ethical dilemma *

n = not an ethical dilemma

 

c = covetousness (arousing con dissent)

p = presumption (flirting con dissent)

a = arrogance (plotting con dissent)

v = violence (acting con dissent)

 

e = (((n + c) + p) + a) + v

or redundantly…

e = ((c + p) + a) + v

else

                                                not an action disregarding dissent

                                                not an ethical dilemma

                                                (rather ethical continuity)

 

e = ethical dilemma

n = not an ethical dilemma *

 

c = covetousness (arousing con dissent)

p = presumption (flirting con dissent)

a = arrogance (plotting con dissent)

v = violence (acting con dissent)

 

n = c

or

n = c + p

or

n = (c + p) + a

or

n = ((c - c) + (p - p)) + (a – a)

or simply…

n = e - v

done

                        done/exit

 

            To be clear reiteratively, the point of such exercises is to demonstrate the syllogism as logical hence consistent, the logical argument as the critical prerequisite towards proposing then proving further the ethical argument. To reverse engineer, if to propose any consideration as ethical as should any consideration factual and truthful, then paramount during the observation then determination must be consistency as the primary characteristic, dynamic and/or element, else inconsistency then certainly something other than factual, truthful as well ethical.

Contrarily thus and then reasoning towards peace, always the choice
Among cities or deserts, civilizations or wildernesses as few voiced
Less so the study, the ponder, lesser still the labor until tomb’s cold lure
Nonetheless the innate drive, outward cry; qui tacet dissentire videtur 

Actus me invito factus non est meus actus, as Individualism’s praxis
Opposed to all other isms’ modus operandi regardless the political axis
Thus observable fact is; if arrogance succeeds, presumption precedes
And covetousness the original seed toward government’s violent deeds

Is 1:18 / Mt 5:9

2 Tm 2:15 / Cl 3:23

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.

12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 233

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. 233

~ Schaefferian Law of Anterior Covetousness / Part 3 ~

To say (see Proem & Poem No. 147) a person or group of persons have biases is as ridiculously unnecessary as to say having propensities, preferences, limits, scarcities, flaws, errors, inabilities, deficiencies, gluttonies, excesses and so on, for to be human is to have all of these things, that is, the numerous persisting thorn(s) in the flesh (2 Co 12:7). Thus mere congruity imposes the speculation then inclusion; to be human is to covet as well.

These human tendencies prevail mostly unnoticed as part of the larger whole, the philosophically universal propensities for error and excess, else the theologically inherent state of total depravity consequent of the Adamic sin. Amid the context of either proposition, the tendencies, propensities or depravities (if you will) are commonly complicated then compounded hence exceptionally exasperated by covetousness. Always a subtle impulse initially, yet if to linger beyond a few moments capriciously, unintentionally, purposefully or intensely, incited will be presumption, excited the arrogance then ignited the disrespect, disregard therefore violence privately, publicly, socially, politically, legally, illegally, etc., directly against others’ dissent as exercised per the Singular Human Right to Consent or in this case Dissent explicitly else implicitly, of course inseparably, as manifested by the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason.

To clarify (again) before proceeding; Violence is observably, logically, consistently thus ethically defined as each action and every activity exacted against and executed upon another’s dissent explicit else implicit.

So to expand as logically following; Violence is not a static even dynamic list of horridities as usually although arbitrarily, erroneously assumed. For what is harmful or injurious versus beneficial or advantageous are determined solely by the recipient the individual per his/her unique propensity, prerogative, preference, purpose, etc. Consequently the same action, the same activity may be individually determined then accepted as beneficial or advantageous to one person while simultaneously determined then rejected as harmful or injurious to another person.

To deduce further as obviously compelling; Silence or uncontentious participation (i.e. in society) is not Consent unexpressed as usually although arbitrarily, erroneously assumed per mindlessly hailed qui tacet consentire videtur (see Proposition, Problem & Poem Nos. 222-224). Such egregious assumption often elaborately purposed by writers so to justify without evidence nor logic a preferred political or economic ism hence governmental system, perhaps as well particular set of laws, regulations, taxes, subsidies, prohibitions, wars and so on. Onward the illogical digression and immoral declination, for soon the assumed implicit consent presumptuously devolves to assumed societal obligation, ordinal citizenship, patriotic allegiance, nationalistic duty.

To say and behave otherwise would be nothing but another’s unmindful presumption and willful arrogance, either well driven by innate covetousness.

Nonetheless the innate drive, outward cry; qui tacet dissentire videtur

By ONE PRINCIPLE ALONE I judge ALL HUMAN ACTIONS...

By ONE PRINCIPLE ALONE I observably, logically, consistently, ethically judge ALL HUMAN ACTIONS governmental, economic, academic, scientific, social, religious, private, intimate, so it follows...

Individualism’s Ethos and Creed

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.

Individualism’s Pledge of Allegiance

Private property my country, family and friends my countrymen, consequently the sweaty, dirty, bloody, long worn shirt-off-back my flag for upon the rustic post at edge of field hangs that banner `neath my old hat, however tattered, patched, frayed, stained, worked thus ragged while individually, agreeably therefore mutually, consensually bought and bartered... I pledge allegiance to nothing else and to no other!

Individualism’s Bill of Right (singular)

If such understanding forms and foments, then solely amid ceaseless study, ponder and labor, concluding first in part, later in whole, to logically respect then ethically regard, hence fervently declaring then firmly establishing in this manner.

 

The propensity, preference and persistence upon observable practice by Each and Every Individual since first reasoned the Specie Human and Peculiar above all other species, thus consistently inclining, constantly insisting the Singular Right to Consent or Dissent regarding Each and Every Matter, indeed without exception as exemplified per unwanted prevention, unacceptable prohibition, undesirable preemption, unwelcomed intervention, unwarranted retroaction by persons ever covetous as well parties ever contemptuous whether private, religious, philosophical, economical, social, political, governmental and more.

PROPOSITION, PROBLEM & POEM No. 232

~ Schaefferian Law of Anterior Covetousness / Part 2 ~

To roughly paraphrase the theologian and thinker Francis Schaeffer from his 1971 book True Spirituality, the climatic end to Moses’ list of commandments is the 10^th; thou shalt not covet (Ex 20:17).  He goes on to expand and expound, preceding all sins or wrongdoings against others with covetousness, thus the single transgression actually two; the thought then the act. There is of course the two-millennium old parallel where Christ himself levied the same weighty condemnation on the murderous or hateful thought whether the murderous or hateful act was committed or not (Mt 5:21-22, see also Proem & Poem No. 103).

Again (see Proem & Poem No. 148), if covetousness lingers, imagines then entertains, presumption awakes, rises then proceeds to argue, qualify and categorize a person’s preferences as permissible even rightful over others’ preferences. Sooner or later arrogance joins the affair, encouraging violence to act personally, socially or politically against the dissenting individual. So to precisely, concisely understand the core of the rot if you will…

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.

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 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.

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!

"This is the power and authority....and DUTY of the local government! If they took an oath to support and defend the Constitutions they must refuse to comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations, and EOs that violate those documents! IT'S LITERALLY THEIR JOB!"

PROPOSITION, PROBLEM & POEM No. 231

~ Schaefferian Law of Anterior Covetousness / Part 1 ~

It would be appropriate even prudent to declare yet again clearly, concisely the two aforesaid laws before proceeding, and prior to proposing the third law conversely however intrinsically related.

Law of Consensual Unity; if consensual among all then ethically determined unity, else rightful dissension among one or more then unavoidable disunity (see Proposition, Problem & Poem Nos. 225, 226).

Law of Ethical Continuity; if an action disregarding dissent (not consensual) then an ethical dilemma, else not an action disregarding dissent, not an ethical dilemma rather ethical continuity (see Proposition, Problem & Poem Nos. 227, 228).

To proceed appropriately, logically, to state clearly, concisely the following the third law…

            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.

So it follows, the objective of each and every action disregarding dissent is to inculcate, manipulate, regulate, confiscate and/or perhaps terminate others’ person, propensity, prerogative, preference, purpose as well profession, purse, possession and property (see Proem & Poem No. 176). The action however holds more potency than mere Disregard even simple Disrespect, for Arrogance certainly aroused and of course emboldened, unavoidably preceded and encouraged by Presumption, yet the weed ill rooted, the seed badly planted, the rot at core if you will, have always been, of course always is, therefore shall always be Covetousness!

O the thorns amid furrows dry, lacking rain, rented skirts so stained

Hope upon liberty, hence to cope upon one’s ability and responsibility
Risking some or all, subsisting on crumbs till harvest’s haul and virility

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... while Fox News and those of similar persuasions provide minimal attention...

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.

 

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.

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."

"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)

~ 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

12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 219

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. 219

~ Two Propositions on Humanity and Polity / 1st Reprise ~

However obvious, it should be duly noted. Gravely lacking omnipresence, omniscience hence omnipotence, humanity operates in time, along inescapable timelines, therefore limited in movement, knowledge hence ability/power, consequently the constant propensity for error and excess. Concisely, if not infinite, then quite finite are all individuals, including all self-acclaimed elites of various sorts. Yet to complicate further, all are simultaneously burdened and blessed with human instinct, human emotion as well the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, inseparably the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent (see Proem & Poem No. 50).

If to combine the constant Human Propensity for Error and Excess with ever-present Human Tendency for Covetousness, there arises the inescapable conflict. Therefore the question (see Proem & Poem Nos. 147-155); what is Covetousness if not one desiring something other than what he/she would be, do and/or have per his/her own ability and resource, subsequently digressing into presumptuous persistence then arrogant insistence to force upon others, violating their preferences hence properties, possessions even persons so to effectuate of course what one covets to be, do and/or have.

What is covetousness if not one desiring an existence, condition, status, position then property, possession, preference even (a) person beyond his/her own time, space, reason, knowledge, skill, labor, resource as well physicality, psychology, propensity, personality to imagine it, understand it, innovate it, produce it, barter for it, exchange for it, negotiate it, obtain it, maintain it, defend it thus again the presumptuous persistence then arrogant insistence to force upon others, violating their preferences hence properties, possessions even persons so to effectuate of course what one covets to be, do and/or have.

And what of covetousness if not the Biblical 10^th Commandment broken before breaking all other commandments, the theological sin committed before committing all other sins. Comparatively and universally, what of covetousness if not the logically initial disposition entertained before entertaining further hence presuming, arrogating then violating others’ dissent on any and all matters.

And so the insidiousness the alleged conversions then allowances
For this and tolerances for that, reallowances per expected affiances
Such blind faith else resigned ignorance, yet each twilight one wraith
Scathing the minds, raping the intellects withal nakedness swathed 

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

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!
