12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 238

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. 238

~ Vox Humana Vox Dei Non / 2nd Reprise ~

Reconsider the immortality, infiniteness of the Divine God versus the mortality, finiteness of the human specie per the previous two installments combined (see Proposition, Problem & Poem Nos. 236-237). There should mindfully arise to forefront the self-evident dynamic hence digressively compounded, increasingly complicated, exponentially inconsistent, consequentially and ethically irresolvable dilemma upon accepting any form of presumption. Reconsider as well the presumption accompanied with covetousness as the posture unavoidably preceding the disregard for another’s Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on all matters, inseparably the disrespect for another’s Peculiar Human Ability to Reason.

To emphasize, presumption is the unquestionable posture preceding any form of disrespect then disregard for another’s dissent. Unless one is God and obviously not one nor any other, then only presumption followed by arrogance (the former’s first cousin) would elevate his/her preference to disrespect then disregard another’s preference to dissent on any and/or all matters. If to categorize the posture as something other than presumption, what would it be? Would it be selflessness, kindness, goodness, helpfulness, benevolence, humanitarianism, etc.? Upon exhausting all dictionaries among all languages, still the search for an alternative word would remain unfound else nonexistent. To further the analysis, and if to accept the word for the posture, then when is presumption ever tolerable, acceptable, desirable, rightful, ethical, moral, etc.? The answer is self-evident of course observably, logically, consistently so.

With that said, if largely accepting the categorization of presumption, then exceptions possible while remaining ethical? Obviously, exceptions introduce unavoidably inconsistencies thus complexities, often facilitating more of the same. To go further, principles may seem clear initially, however exceptions’ inconsistencies and complexities will foster the redefinition and reapplication of the former, while rewriting supportive fact and/or history, discarding empiricism in part or whole in practice, gradually blurring and eventually erasing from minds the founding logic as well ethic. It follows, when reason’s expression per individual consent as well dissent are honored ergo respected, regarded in constant rhetoric and consistent practice concerning all matters, only then can be found genuine fairness, equality, justice, freedom, that is to say, the sole ethic among non-omnipresent, non-omniscient and non-omnipotent thus quite finite mortals, else constantly, consistently presumption preceding the dishonor ergo disrespect, disregard, violation.

Dangers mid pews, parishioners’ wallowing upon swallowing the lies
Hollowing the eyes thus souls dead `tween furrows `low black skies
Lo, unrecognized the blowback, foretold tho’ unapprised the setback
As covetous spies aloft government mules presume the purses else sacks

Terse the knack, curse the bushwhack, first the unsuspecting loyalist
Hence the bedecking nationalist, as patriots wail upon hail the royalist
Prior to elitists’ glee-turn-frenzy, devouring the subsidized banquet
The prize yonder covetousness, the surmise by arrogance if to admit

---

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
