This passion for bureaucracy is enough to drive one to despair...

"This passion for bureaucracy is enough to drive one to despair. It is as if in politics we were to deliberately to become men who need order and nothing but order, who become nervous and cowardly if for one moment this order wavers, and helpless if they are torn away from their total incorporation in it. That the world should know no men but these: it is in such an evolution that we are already caught up, and the great question is therefore not how we can promote and hasten it, but what can we oppose to this machinery in order to keep a portion of mankind free from this parceling-out of the soul, from this supreme mastery of the bureaucratic way of life."

Maximilian Karl Emil Weber (1864-1920)

As observed in his own country Germany of course, but throughout Europe as well United States, Canada and elsewhere, and as stated in his 1905 book The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism.

Personal note... When randomly falling upon such beautifully written as well quite observable truisms, often I will seek out a copy of the book. It will be interesting to read and consider Weber's greater context and argument within which this quote resides, a statement well confirming my running thesis regarding Individualism.

Regarding MASKS...

1. If you desire to Force me to wear a mask against my Dissent, that is Covetousness swelled into Presumption.

2. If you support/vote for a candidate and/or law to Force me to wear a mask against my Dissent, that is Arrogance festered into Violence.

3. If you are free to choose and wear a mask but remain discontented, annoyed, perturbed, agitated even angered until I am Forced to wear a mask against my Dissent, that is Perversion.

The above analysis is logically, consistently therefore ethically, applicably so for each and every matter private, public or political else quite arbitrary thus without principle ALL other considerations and determinations.

To importantly note, the burden of proof rests on anyone who disagrees. For to respect and regard others' dissent necessitates no further analysis to understand the ethic. It is an universal expectation since time immemorial. In contrast, to disrespect and disregard others' dissent necessitates some explanation and justification for the preceding covetousness and presumption. For to disrespect and disregard others' dissent by force, regardless the intent, is only possible upon first coveting others' freedom to prefer and behave, then presuming your preference and behavior supersede others' preference and behavior. If anyone suggests proof, then one must accept the same proof and argument for justifying every tyrannic or horrific act throughout history for preceding those atrocities too were covetousness and presumption.

Unless each and every intended plank is RESCISSION...

Unless each and every intended plank is RESCISSION, a party's platform advocates nothing more than expanding the immoral imposition, enlarging the inhumane confiscation, thereby benefiting the consented upon injuring the dissented, and when electorally victorious celebrating even glorifying the satiated covetousness and gloated perversion. By this logically ethical assessment, all U.S. political parties stand so charged and condemned.

On surface it may appear United States transformed overnight...

Lets be clear, Fascism is not Racism for its far worst per a top-down regulatory economy thus society, controlled largely till wholly by central government's elite few, thereby enslaving the entire population. Compared to Communism, that is, a bottom-up confiscatory economy thus society, controlled largely till wholly by central government's elite few, thereby enslaving the entire population. Both forms of tyranny may use Racism as well other means to such inhumane ends. With that said...

On surface it may appear sooner or late to some that United States transformed overnight into Fascistic-Socialistic governance, completely controlling the economy thus society by executive orders, solely caused by one or two catastrophic events... or so will go someday government's history books more or less. It is correct, United States have so transformed but not overnight, rather over the course of 100 years or more (I contend further back in US history).

John T. Flynn (1882-1964) in his book As We Go Marching (1944) suggested a comparison to 20th century United States per his survey of German history 100 years preceding the 1930s. See link for the free download of book (pdf/epub) else online retailers...

It is not too late to understand what is unfolding by rightly understanding history long unfolded, so to understand vicious cycles as repeated decisions of various ill sorts however cycles potentially broken if by rare and logical choices. The human specie's peculiar ability to reason allows for decisions of the greatest benefits as well of the gravest detriments. Thus, first important decision is to study, ponder as well labor till last breath.

Quote by John Lock and My Commentary

"Every one is forward to complain of the prejudices that mislead other men or parties, as if he were free and had none of his own... This is the mote which every one sees in his brother's eye, but never regards the beam in his own." --- John Locke (1632-1704)

How then do I post such a quote while promoting even insisting so confidently, passionately even absolutely the sole ethic thus singular right to consent or dissent on all matters, as I critique with equal confidence, passion and absolute those who disagree? The answer should be self-evident yet often eludes. I do not covet unchecked enough thus do not intend to force upon their person, privacy, preference and/or possession by gun, knife, club, fist, office or vote. However, those who disagree do so for they do covet unchecked enough thus do intend to force upon my person, privacy, preference and/or possession by gun, knife, club, fist, office or vote.

As arrogant I may seem, I am equally, logically tempered, I pray humbled too, by what also should be self-evident yet often eludes. Whatever knowledge, experience, skill and wisdom I may have to manage my person, privacy, preference and property, are by no means sufficient to forcefully manage another's person, privacy, preference and property. With that said, many do speak and act as though they have such sufficiency, yet I am the arrogant one... :-)

Quote by Claudio Grass

"At the end of the day, what MMT (Modern Monetary Theory), the Green New Deal, QE, NIRP, Helicopter Money or any other sort of government promise or intervention have in common is that they are all collectivistic by definition, aimed against the individual and based on the crazy findings of the 'Economic School of Zimbabwe' – where everyone became a trillionaire." --- Claudio Grass

Democracy and Mood Swings

If democracy is fundamentally imperative for a good and moral society as often implied even cited erroneously, then to be consistent, boundless mood swings must be regarded as fundamentally imperative for a good and moral person.

Democracy is not inherently noble, virtuous or principled, merely an amoral method among others for determining and making decisions within groups of any sort. On its own, democracy is susceptible to societal, political swings as irrationally extreme as unprincipled thus unbridled emotions or unchecked moods, knee-jerking to events, trends, fads, raves, rants as well contrivances. Occasional susceptibility soon turns to chronic vulnerability then terminal malignity.

As such, human instincts common among all other species are politically empowered hence covetously encouraged by the unconstrained vote, furthered gravely per human reasoning tainted and skewed upon selfishly ignored and/or legislatively mitigated responsibility and risk. At this juncture, democracy have made horizonlessly wide the path of least resistance towards cozening then confiscating any and all possessions and resources of others.

Diversity per French cognac, Italian coffee and American chocolate...

Diversity per French cognac, Italian coffee and American chocolate :-), accompanying tonight's writing for my current book project, accordingly....

"Covetousness is never satiated, albeit seemingly yet temporarily subsiding upon each coveted objective’s alleged success and perceived benefit. Alleged and perceived for always tainted marginally else considerably the success and benefit by the disparity between the anticipative imagination versus the acquisitive realization, that is to say, the psychological, emotional digression from pursuit’s greater euphoria to possession’s lesser dysphoria.

The inevitable depths within this covetously vicious cycle is repeated disappointment as mentioned, displeasure to follow, if unchecked then festering to bitterness, resentment, rancor as well hate, rage onto violence towards others predictably and oneself paradoxically. Socially then soon politically, such digressions are oft disguised as something else; righteous anger, moral outrage, thereby personally, arbitrarily preferring then illogically, unethically justifying a form of “by any means necessary”, nonetheless narcissistically empowering by sententiously pontificating hate and violence."

"United We Stand, Divided We Fall"; a politically convenient mantra...

"United We Stand, Divided We Fall"; a politically convenient mantra thus sentimentally useful propaganda, recited and sung unquestionably therefore mindlessly yet this poet rejects logically therefore passionately. For per history understood, I would be incline to prefer something more observably and notably accurate as "United We Presume, Intrude, Destruct then Erode till Last Desperate, Feeble Stand", although ethically, consistently and sustainably remedied by "Individually We Each Prefer, Consent, Dissent, Study, Ponder, Labor then Carry On till Last Responsible, Honorable Breath."

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.

Distilling and boiling; fine traditions centuries-old...

And for guaranteed potability and edibility, government's excessive expenditures thus agencies, bureaus, policies, programs, laws and regulations cannot provide such assurances nor mitigate individual responsibility for the same. It is simply impossible! At the end of the day, potability and edibility are demanded by consumers thus provided by producers. else individuals provide for themselves. Government has little to do with it beyond providing an outlandish fantasy of credibility, safety, economy of quality and quantity, and astonishingly even liberty.

Quote by Henry Hazlitt

"Remaining in a state of doubt is unpleasant. The longer the doubt remains the more unpleasant it becomes. But the man who is willing to accept this unpleasantness, the man who is willing carefully to observe, or experiment if need be, to test the validity of his sug­ges­tions, will finally arrive at a solution much deeper, and one which will give him far more satisfaction, than the superficial answer obtained by the man of careless habits of thought."

Henry Hazlitt (1894-1993)

Prior he wrote... "What is essential is that all sug­ges­tions be tested out, either by memory, observation or experiment, in all their implications, and that the tendency be resisted to accept the first solution that suggests itself. For the uncritical thinker will always jump at the first sug­ges­tion, unless an objection actually forces itself into view."

Unfortunately yet accurately, one could easily apply Mr Hazlitt's critique upon most commonly held and popularly admired conclusions of late regarding politics, economics, social issues, rights, ethics even science, history too.

Taken from his essay later book Thinking as a Science. Highly recommend as well his books Economics in One Lesson and The Foundations of Morality.

Poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley, Two Quotes by D.C. Quillan Stone

Nature rejects the monarch, not the man;
The subject, not the citizen; for kings
And subjects, mutual foes, forever play
A losing game into each other's hands,
Whose stakes are vice and misery. The man
Of virtuous soul commands not, nor obeys.
Power, like a desolating pestilence,
Pollutes whate'er it touches; and obedience,
Bane of all genius, virtue, freedom, truth,
Makes slaves of men, and of the human frame
A mechanized automaton.

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)

Along a somewhat similar theme, two quotes from my 10th book.

TWENTY-FIVE VERSES on SILENCE by D.C. Quillan Stone

TWENTY-FIVE VERSES on SILENCE
by D.C. Quillan Stone

Note:
Odd observations in short verse (or prose I suppose :-) ) as published in the 6th book MIDLAND (Nov 2011) under my then pen name Quillan.

Verse 1:
Then there was silence immaculate, equanimity's lustful echo, and it was good.

Verse 2:
There was silence sublime, the pensive kind of rune then rime, and it too was good.

Verse 3:
There was silence supine broadening, akin mist and fens at twilight, midst her skin he skimmed beholding `low moonlight, and it was good.

Verse 4:
There was silence kissed by wisp of lips, thus adieu as per lisp, and it was good.

Verse 5:
There was silence coupling mid redolence doubling, in drift aft shift of hankered thighs to dank sighs, and it was good.

Verse 6:
There was silence that wept for humanity’s death while kept to breast infancy’s breath, and it was good.

Verse 7:
There was silence cold, caressing to hold both fallen and sullen as resolute latter lay down the rancor, sheathed their sabers, and it was good.

Verse 8:
There was silence ill since the chill, riling the will, stifling the inhale whilst waned by pain to staining pale, as progeny’s cling graced anon easing finality’s sting, and it was good.

Verse 9:
There was silence weary by calluses dreary as drudgery trod upon sultry sod, hot yet copious, vis-à-vis hearth lustrous then girth desirous upon berth amorous, and it was good.

Verse 10:
There was silence vibrant per iron tampered, steel tempered, rivets fisted, jacks assisted by torsos twisted due pneumatic pulsations of passion’s displays, and it was good.

Humanity's greatest ideological achievements

Tomorrow in Jackson, Mississippi, will be partaking once again in the centuries old tradition where minds of various backgrounds, ideas of various perspectives, convene to discuss, debate, lecture as well agree versus disagree, logically and respectfully, formally throughout the day, then less formally into the evening over beer, whiskey and tobacco. It is by such ways some of humanity's greatest ideological achievements were made possible whether political, philosophical, theological, economical, scientific, academic, literary/poetical and more.

I loathe the idea of rights in the plural

Over the years while studying, pondering and laboring, I have come to logically, ethically thus passionately loathe the idea of rights in the plural. For by it comes to the common or conspiratorial mind an array of lists, bills, constitutions, declarations, documents, books, lectures, speeches as well clever interpretations and emotive rants amid callow imagination, covetous innovation then coercive implementation, consistently disregarding, constantly violating the sole individual right to consent or dissent on all matters.
