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

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.

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.

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.

12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 232

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. 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.

O the thorns amid furrows dry, lacking rain, rented skirts so stained
Trousers long torn, faces wrung, heads shorn, eyes forlorn unable to gain
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

Ah the scorn amid laurels self-donned by fat elitists, fatter corporatists
Thus the latter and former cronyists along despotists among the unholiest
Acolytes then academics their pantheists of etatism-mysticism blend
Ears bending, eyes transfixing, mouths gaping to each fad and every trend
