Exodus 3:7-11

 

From this excerpt from Exodus in the Old Testament, it is recorded in my The New American Bible that Moses has been called by God to step forward as God’s spokesman to go to Egypt to arrange the release of the Hebrew people from their heavy, miserable yoke of slavery and oppression: “But the Lord said, ‘I have witnessed the affliction of my people in Egypt and have heard their cry of complaint against their slaver drivers, so I know well what they are suffering. Therefore I have come down to rescue them from the hands of the Egyptians and lead them out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey, the country of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. So indeed the cries of the Israelites has reached me, and I have truly noted that the Egyptians are oppressing them. Come, now! I will send you to Pharaoh to lead my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.”

 

My response: there must have been something very special about Moses to be so selected by Yahweh himself. Yahweh has heard the pleas and prayers from Hebrew slaves, praying for his aid to secure their release from bondage. Notice that God does not want his chosen people to be enslaved—he wants them to be free. Implicitly, then being a slave is a social institution aligned with evil rulers on earth, that do not serve God. Chosen people, those that walk with God, are a free people and need and require liberty in some way. This all seems embedded in the story of Exodus. Note how that phrase slave driver is now universally known and used in sundry applications. Even Biblical nouns are famous cultural reference points.

 

The earthly Eden that the released Hebrews would be led to by Moses is a good and spacious land of flowing milk and honey. This poetic metaphor is one of the now famous metaphors in English and American lore.

 

On Page 61 of my Bible, the Catholic scholars have a footnote taking note of the fact that for Yahweh to come down to earth personally to facilitate the liberation of His chosen people is a “figure of speech signifying an extraordinary divine intervention in human affairs.”

 

Not often does God intervene personally and directly in the flesh to sway the direction of human events.

 

Let me record those verses from the Holy Bible (KJV): “And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Eyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Caananites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Eyptians oppress them. Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.”

 

What Happened In Memphis

  

 

I do not have all the answers but God has given me an insight into the human condition that might help me shed some light on what happened in Memphis, a few nights ago, to poor Tyre Nichols, apparently suffering from Krohn’s disease and 130 pounds, that required 5 husky, armed police officers to baton, mace, taze and beat this young man to death while he cried out for his Mom.

 

Many Progressives blame whitey, that even black police officers, still treat black suspects as if they, the cops involved, were white cops. That is nonsense as is all the tripe about need for police reforms.

 

I am not against reform or education for police officers, but I am confident that the 5 black officers that killed Tyre went crazy, and, as an enraged mob, inflicted horrifying, revolting street justice and classic police brutality upon this young man over some traffic stop. They were trained and likely college-educated men.

 

I liked some retired cop and high ranking officer that said a lieutenant or sergeant should be at these events to calm down the arresting cops so that they do not go crazy. I agree that surrounding deputy sheriffs should have stepped in to restrain their enraged officers thumping  on Tyre, to save his life. Cops like all of us are natural cowards (This type of cowardice is the failure to go against group evil, lest one be reviled by the offending pack committing evil deeds.), and when the police brotherhood is assembled, none wishes to go against one’s brothers and sisters, by interceding to restrain rogue officers attacking a suspect. Those officers that stand and watch unfolding police brutality, and do nothing to stop it, should be fired each and every time.

 

Let me draw from my own experience. On June 14^th, 1983 my wife and I were at my cousin Mary’s apartment in Minneapolis celebrating my birthday. There was little or no alcohol served. They lived north of downtown by the farmers’ market. At near midnight, I was driving and drove through downtown and stopped at a red light before jumping onto 35W south to go to Richfield where we lived. I turned on the red light, went about 10 feet and got pulled over. I was 6’ 1” and 240 pounds and strong. Two cops, one black and one white, as big as or bigger than me, yelled at me to get out of the car. They were intensely aggressive, one on each side of my face screaming and yelling at me that I ran a red light and what was I doing. I thought I was dead. If I had raised a hand to them, I would have been beaten into unconsciousness. These two officers, without provocation or escalation on my part, were perched on the edge of insane violence. I said absolutely nothing and finally they quite ventilating and went back to their squad car to write me a ticket. Which I got. We left and paid the ticket, though my wife later said I did not run that light later, and that we should have fought the ticket. I felt lucky to be alive. My instinct was not to escalate a bad situation.

 

Did Tyre possess that instinct, or would it have made any difference? Imagine poor Tyre: even mild resistance to receiving handcuffs with a mob and powerful, organized trained officers in uniform would be enough to trigger their violence so excessive and unwarranted and vicious that they would not stop until he was unconscious or dead.

 

Let us rebuild this problem of why cops sometimes riot and turn vicious from another starting point. I assume that people are born evil. Dennis Prager offers a similar view that single young men are naturally lawless and violent (unless trained to be moral and law-abiding). Dennis suggests that young women are not born violent, but are inclined to be too supportive of the social arrangement regulating where she is, and if she is hyper-supportive of a cruel social order, as a secular, college-educated Leftist, like postmodernist progressivism, she is a soldier in the cause of a destructive mass movement more corrupt and cruel than any selfish, violent young man out for his own asocial, criminal cause, disorganized and disunited.

 

My suggestion is that any man in America could be Tyre Nchols, and any man in America could be one of those 5 murderous cops that killed Tyre.  Race, gender orientation, class distinctions, are not that significant. What is relevant is that men are born violent, and when they run in packs, and the pack allows them to apply mob terror, violence, and torture to a victim, it is easy to see where the love of violence and the dark joy of inflicting pain and death upon a human victim is so overwhelming that the a mob wipes out a Tyre.

 

I wonder if black cops in Haiti, Nigeria or Sierre Lieone do not inflict police brutality on blacks at higher rates than white police officers in any white or Western country.

 

I assume that any man is capable of great kindness or great cruelty, if he lets himself go, or gets in with the wrong group. If I were a gung-ho, brain-washed infantry grunt, just out of basic training, assigned to Lt. Calley in Viet Nam, and he ordered us to wipe out a village of civilians and all my buddies were obeying that command, I would slaughter innocent civilians too. I was given a gun, told to kill Communists and Viet Cong, why with classical racist rationalizing worry about if the yellow-skinned,

Asian victim was a civilian or soldier, or from the south or the north? They all look the same; they are all the same and we will just kill them until none are left.

 

In Hoople, North Dakota, when My Lai was reported, a respected, god-fearing, veteran, Norwegian American farmer told his family that what they did in World War II was no different than My Lai.

 

Men are born evil, and like violence, and now are given guns and legal and moral authority to go out and kill, so they do. They get carried away as soldiers or police officers, and then we hypocritical civilians cry crocodile tears for the excesses of these moral monsters that we created and unleashed upon the world. What the hell did we expect?

 

It gets even worse. There is no easy answer to the problem of rogue police officers rioting and abusing those that they are meant to protect and serve, Dennis Prager said this week that no civilized country can survive without police, and he is wise and correct as usually. When men go in groups, and carry guns and are allowed to use force against criminals or suspects up to and including lethal force, at their discretion in a few seconds where they are to perform flawlessly under incredible stress, thing can and will go wrong.

 

Fellow officers, rational, moral, legal and self-controlled, should back off the cowboys among them that could riot and brutalize a suspect.

 

Where officers, like the ones that murdered Tyre did what they did, they must go to trial like the felons that they are.

 

We must not overreact and riot and burn down America every time this happens. Let the justice be done upon rogue officers legally. Black kids needs rules, morals and fathers to break the cycle of the running in gangs and hitting the streets. Black kids must learn to quit lipping off to cops when arrested, and just be compliant and quiet so they survive. We must pay our cops well, truly thank and appreciate what these heroes do for us, and  the bad apples among them must be removed from the barrel.

 

 

Once men run in packs, without moral curbing, where they feel supremely confident, god-like, enfranchised, unstoppable, powerful and able to express their power by inflicting all their rage, depression, self-loathing, sadistic lust to kill, main and smash, they are capable of absolutely anything, against anyone. Police officers, drunk on power and violence aimed towards a suspect are not exception from such revolting, horrifying human misbehavior. It is little different than a 75-pound male pit bull attacking and tearing the face and scalp off of a defenseless 8-year-old girl. That which is atavistic, bestial, and demonic give the men among us the energy and will to live and to construct but it must be channeled and kept decentralized: a mob on the rampage is a terror against all civil society.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prototype Citizens

 

I just watched a 15-minute video narrated by Patrick Parsons of the American Firearms Association. Parson suggests that any gun rights advocate or citizen worth her salt will insist all-out, without compromise, that abolishing the ATF and repealing NFA are the minimally acceptable legislative proposals to be advanced in Congress by all Republicans and conservative Democrats this year. Nothing short of this will be acceptable or will be unpunished—for lip service, inaction, and noncompliance on the part of affected legislators come reelection time. Get with us or get gone, is our motto.

 

The hard-core, issue-driven platform espoused by AFA and its state affiliates—including MGR in Minnesota—are what makes me know and identify these heroes and patriots as the prototype citizen of the future that I refer to as anarchist-individuator supercitizens, that will take our constitutional republic to the next level.

 

 

The Burning Bush

 

When God selects a great soul for a special mission, De does not do so by half-measures. I will write out what is written in the Book of Exodus about Moses, and God’s amazing self-introduction to Moses from the burning bush. Here is my entry quoted from The New American Bible (Exodus, 3:1-6): “Meanwhile, Moses was tending the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian. Leading the flock across the desert, he came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There an angel of the Lord appeared to him in fire flaming out of a bush. As he looked on, he was surprised to see that the bush, though on fire, was not consumed. So Moses decided, ‘I must go over to look at this remarkable sight, and see why the bush is not burned.’ When the Lord saw him coming over to look at it more closely, God called out to him from the bush, ‘Moses, Moses!’ He answered, ‘Here I am.’ God said, ‘Come no nearer! Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground. I am the God of your father,’ he continued, ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob.’ Moses hid his face for he was afraid to look at God.”

 

 

My response: The Catholic scholars on Page 61 of this Bible add three explanatory notes of interest to me. This Mount Horeb was sacred ground, indicating there are special places on earth where spiritual goodness congregates, and where evil is centered too. The scholars point out that the appearance of an angel of God before Moses may be an actual angel or a manifestation of God personally, and it is not always made clear which is which. Note that Moses was afraid to look at God because the Hebrews believed that one would die if one saw God. It goes to show that this could be literally so, or is a metaphor for pure exposure to noumenal truth would so shock the perceiver that he may not physically survive the glaring encounter.

 

This approach to Moses by God is very dramatic, direct, and concrete. God needs Moses to go to work for him, and the need is dire, and the time is now so let us get down to business. Moses is sought out by God or God’s angel, but first Moses must tread respectfully on sacred ground, and Moses is shocked and fearful to encounter God directly. I do not think the rest of us ontologically puny humans would fare half as well as Moses did.

 

Let me quote the same verses from the Holy Bible (KJV): “Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of a midst of a bush: and he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. Moreover, he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.”

 

 

 

My response: One could encounter God anywhere, but surely the odds of directly encountering God increased manifold when Moses passed right by this sacred site. Note that divine flame did not incinerate a bush in the dry desert of low humidity a near miraculous occurrence that caught Moses’s eye.

 

It reminds me that we need to be respectful when walking on sacred ground, and direct talk with God might be more than we can cope with.

 

Misgivings

 

It is natural to harbor misgivings about your decision to give your life to God and the Good Spirits, to serve in their cause. Nothing is without cost, so the children of darkness will punish, nick, berate or even take out one that openly obeys, follows, and worships a good deity.

 

My advice to the one now feeling regret: get over it. You made your bed. Now, lie in it. Be brave, will, consistent and resolved to the end of your days. Pay the price, fight the good fight let the chips fall where they may. That is not your concern. Your job is to serve God and the Good Spirits to the best of your ability, most of the time, with all your talent, energy, and effort. You will not regret sticking with your earlier, wise decision.

 

Some Possibilities

 

Here are a few remarkable transitions likely to occur with the arrival on the American scene of a morally competent, adult generation of individuators-anarchist supercitizens:

 

1.     Society then will require great citizens/statesmen as newly seasoned, high-caliber participants in running the constitutional republic, rather as its average, typical followers. Since all serious, lasting change occurs from the bottom up, this caliber of citizen is basic to change. This caliber of engaged, smart, organized, energetic, dominant citizens would make any elected leader like Joe Biden or Kamala Harris come across as Abraham Lincoln. An actual great leader leading these great followers would be an added plus.

2.     Most students, by the age of 10, will have developed and be directing their own learning project and content. Professional educators can advise and facilitate student growth, but no longer as stifling, road-blocking woke, fanatical, educational bureaucrats and Marxists breaking children into group-living, hierarchy-addicted, dead, spiritless, nonindividuating robots that learn little, know less, lack ambition, and fire, and dream few dreams.

3.     Employees take orders and give orders to owners and bosses as they partially own, and in part work for the owners of the enterprise that employs them. They work in part for wages and in part for a share of the profit-sharing.

4.     A citizen’s militia of 100 million gun-owners and gun-wielders will be highly trained, and skilled but peaceful warriors. If aroused or attacked, these fearless warriors could match or beat any opposing army anywhere on the planet.

 

Noah Hammond Tyrrell

 

I have long advocated that moderation in all things is how we should approach living. Many ancient peoples so believed. I am untrained as a logician, so I was doing some online research on opposites as contraries and opposites as contradictories. I want to understand better how a logician view would enrich my philosophy of ethical moderation.

 

Next, I came up with for short videos on opposites was a podcast by Noah Hammond Tyrrell, the popular, inspirational speaker and consultant.

 

Roughly, Tyrrell advises that if one is failing somehow in life, one should enlist the opposite trait to balance out one’s life and be successful, and ethical moderation is somewhat like this in that one is floundering in excess or deficiency of a trait, its opposite should be practiced, as one fluctuates between the opposites.

 

With the law of moderation, we can enjoy life, usually count on God’s blessing and enjoy ourselves: we cannot have it all and should not want to have it all as Tyrrell over-promises his viewers and clients, but we can have a lot and that will have to suffice.

 

Prager's Theology

 

Dennis Prager recently talked about God is not behind every action in the universe. If God was behind every action, we would not have free will. I do not know if that is right, but it seems workable. Dennis feel that luck plays a factor too.

 

It does of course, but this is like my Deity Fate. We have free will. God, the Devil and Fate all determine some actions. Some actions are purely, solely, freely willed by self-determining humans. And some actions might be causeless, or completely random.

 

To Serve God Well

 

You are feeling noble and high-minded: you are announcing to God and the world that you are dedicating your life to the service of God. A note of caution: if you do not serve God well and in the right way, you may make things worse for God and for the chanced of heavenly destination for your immortal soul.

 

The best thing to do is quit hating oneself, others, and God, and that is a start in the right direction. If you commence to love yourself, others, and God, now you are serving God well and in the right manner.

 

Second, you are never to assume the approach of a martyred true believer willing to die or be martyred, or to torture or murder religious rivals and unbelievers so compel them to agree with your religious beliefs.

 

Third, you could maverize: as a living angel that has dedicated your life and accomplishments as a living sacrifice to God, you have pledged and expanded your talents, bringing to life and impressive improvement, your raw talents, your natural creative bent.

 

Fourth, you must reject living a lie. Just remember that God loves free speech, but careful, thoughtful speech, truthful, rational, compelling, and clear. You call a spade a spade. You rebuff any temptation to rationalize giving into any temptation that you are inclined to indulge in. You admit what you have done right, where you are in error, and what you are seeking to do about it all.

 

Fifth, how you speak, think and act, after you have proclaimed that you are holy, righteous, and devoted to God, will be heavily scrutinized by skeptical neighbors. No matter which good deity that you worship, your responsibility is always the same: do not embarrass God but reflect well on God. When you slip, and you will, ask for forgiveness, seek to learn from your mistakes and to do better in the future.

 

 

The Wisest Man

 

Dennis Prager may be the wisest man alive. If not the wisest, he comes close.

 

Here are some paraphrased quotes at random from his radio show the last couple of weeks: I never listen to him without learning something:

 

To do good, raise a good child.

 

An even better way to do good is to fight evil.

 

I would rather be proud of my child for being good than for having a high IQ.

 

We need friends to be happy, but it is vital that a friend is a kindred spirit.

 

We should set dates to find a true friend, just like we find a life partner..

 

 

 

 

The Left

 

Dennis Prager, on his radio show, almost every day runs down The Left as the most powerful, godless, dangerous force at work in the world today. It is and he is correct. What does this signify?

 

He points out that the Left leads right to Mao, to totalitarianism, and it does. Its followers are true believers and Postmodernist Marxism is their cause, and they wish to spread it across the world.

 

Their lust for power, control, violence, and destruction is bottomless. Such fanatical devotion to a satanic, secular cause is demonic devotion. They must be opposed. They must be stopped at all coasts.

The Converse Reality

 

My thought under Mavellonialist political theory is that each citizen should be an anarchist-individuator supercitizen. If each such supercitizen, as a voter and person of one is a follower (only a few can rule at any one time) among millions of other followers, supercitizens, but each citizen is so powerful, strong, smart, critical-thinking, independent-minded and yet rational willing to cooperate and work together where necessary, that, in essence each citizen has the brains, willfulness and resolve of any competent, effective leader. Where each follower is an exceptional supercitizen, then each follower is a leader-follower, and by group consensus on the agenda for their chosen or elected leader to pursue, their leader will do their bidding or be fired promptly, and that leader knows it, and accordingly mostly will do as told. That is how we need to run our constitutional republic, and it should work fairly well.

 

Now let us look at an ethical scenario: it is obvious to the reader that has studied my works, that I believe we are naturally depraved, naturally groupist, group-living, inclined to live in a hierarchical, class social arrangement, that we enjoy being enslaved and tyrannized.

 

Given my definition of the supercitizen, above,  as a leader, whether or not she, she leads or follows in rank, it would seem that the most self-actualized, the smartest, best noblest, most virtuous, most disciplined and most accomplished members in society would be expected to work harder than anyone else, to meet higher standards, and perhaps receive more financial remuneration.

 

Routinely, in accidental or natural hierarchies, the people at the bottom are worked the hardest, ciriticized the most, held to the hightest stand, and paid the least. This converse reality, the natural reality, is inherently/biologically/artificiailly/socially corrupt, a pure double standard.

 

The double standard is always corrupt, and it rots society

from the inside out. Only one solution will work: a constitutional republic of individuating-anarchist supercitizens.

 

We do not want to be pure idealists, revolutionary scheming and working feverishly to overthrow the system—especially a fairly just one like America.

 

But we don’t want the unjust class system to continue either. Hierarchies are natural and inevitable, but they can be minimized, and building a middle-class, an upper middle class of anarchist-individuator supercitizens, will make the only real classless society that the world has ever seen. Any elite seeking to rule these feisty, assertive citizens is doomed to failure, disappointment, and perhaps overthrow and execution by the armed righteous masses.

 

Where elites are thus eliminated, all of exceptional, elite, most accomplished and armed, wealthy and powerful supercitizens bristle with confidence and strength--go ahead and try to dominate and subjugate this group. They seek competence and power, but not by oppressing, robbing or exploiting neighbors. They hold themselves and indirectly each other to the highest standards, and they want fair compensation but do not need the whole economy as their reward.

 

We take the Jordan Peterson insistence on hierarchy and we flatten it and limit its size and scope to limit the damage it can do to people. We want to take our hierarchical, biological craving and satisfy it by sublimating it through a personal program of self-realization where the self of yesterday and last year keeps growing and perfecting all of one’s life.

 

Roughly, hierarchy=groupism=evil=suffering=poverty=dark ages=disease=superstition=totalitarianism=class stratification=nonindiviuators=mobs=mass movements.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our Nature In Action

 

We live in a country of marvelous space age technology that rivals the Jetsons. Yet, in the midst of all this truly revolutionary technological upheaval and luxury, people still group-live, live their lives in hierarchies, and base all of their worth as joiner-nonindividuators on their social standing within their pack, always with an eye to gaining increased status, rank and popularity in that tiny little world.

 

People are restricted and stultified by these primitive, instinctive, biologically generated social arrangements, but they stubbornly cling to them despite all the change that their electronic wonders have bestowed upon them.

 

Humans, who are half-angel, logical and rational, and half-beast, predatory, wild, carnivorous, sensual, and violent, have created this weird modern culture of most impressive technology and material comfort, supporting social behaviors at least 100,000 years old.

 

The altruistic, collectivist herding instinct that drives every institution is a testimony to how powerful and resilient nature is in adapting and evolving to dominate this world of pre-smart robot modernity.

 

Humans have a tremendous loyalty to their herding behaviors, and they lie to themselves to justify preference for this cruel, outmoded lifestyle of group-living that they are addicted to and should have shedded 100 years ago for individual-living and maverizing.

 

People eschew the call to individualism and high civilization, seeking to wallow instead in the stinky, diseased, herd quagmire, generation after generation. Will we ever move on from this barbaric past?

 

 

Singles

 

Dennis Prager, recently on his talk show, remarked that being married helps young people grow up, mature and become responsible, civilized adults.

 

He noted that single young men are responsible for most violent crimes in America. He noted that single, unmarried women are to blame for being the staunches supporters of bad Leftist ideas.

 

He has a point.

Act That Emotion

 

Dennis Prager the sage was at it again the other day: he advised directly or indirectly that if there is an emotional state that is both desirable and admirable. Prager notes that people want to be happy, so if they just act happy consistently, that happy feeling permeates their consciousness until it becomes their primary, effusive affective world view. It works. It is not a panacea, but this positive attitude really helps,

 

Today he advised that the best way to overcome fear is to go right it until one ceases to fear. Prager brilliantly ad-libbed that if the people are filled with fear, they will submit to government tyranny, to being bullied, enslaved, and deprived of their liberty, all in the name of nanny government providing a false sense of security.

 

If you can seek to be happy and conquer your fear, and try to complain less and be grateful and loving, you will be a better and happier person.

 

 

Rufo-Peterson Podcast

 

Jordan Peterson hosted Christopher Rufo on the Peterson Podcast in 2022, and the dialogue was over an hour long. I took notes on it which I will type out and then respond to. I put things in my own words which may not be identical to what these two thinkers actually or literally said.

 

Peterson: “Working class conservatives know what is right and act out what is right but cannot verbalize their point of view effectively against woke intellectuals. Bureaucrats have power and these ideologues must be taken on in institutions. Derek Bell and his ilk, influenced by Antonio Gramsci, sought to take over the institutions, enforce upon society a cultural hegemony leading to cultural Marxism.”

 

My response: the only way for conservatives, blue collar, white collar or pink collar, to thwart the diabolical Marxist/CRT (Critical Race Theory)/DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) mass movement is to help conservatives become educated, wise, articulate speakers, writers and thinkers—it would help if they were self-actualizing—get smart enough, tough enough, soon enough to derail this juggernaut hurtling down the track.

 

Podcast: “If the Marxists can sufficiently demonize whiteness, grab power and property through radical equality now known as equity, they then can focus state power.”

 

My response: they do not want equality for their intersectionalized victim groups, they want reverse discrimination so that the formerly oppressed or allegedly oppressed become the new overlords, and they mean to make life hell on earth for their former masters and mistresses. Their lust for revenge, their cruelty, knows no limits.

 

Podcast: “These Marxists have dreamt up a false consciousness about so-called victim groups: women, blacks, gays and minorities that have internalized their oppressor.”

 

Actually, these minorities are much less oppressed today than under slavery or Jim Crow. CRT advocates hate America and want it destroyed. They are haters and destroyers—vicious people. CRT professors are elite, rich, pampered, privileged, among the wealthiest, freest, and best protected elites ever, but they are filled with rage and resentment. These ungrateful creeps would use free speech, democratic institutions and brainwashing the young and gullible to bring about Stalinist totalitarianism in America. The educated white professionals like CRT but they too will be betrayed as the woke agenda is forced upon all Americans “for their own good.”

 

My response: I agree with both men and argue that capitalism provides us with unequal outcomes, but even the less capable can do very well in a free market, constitutional republic.

 

 

 

Podcast: “Many of the virtual signaling, privileged Marxist revolutionaries, from the ruling class, are already on top of society, but free frustrated and bitter because their power over the masses is not yet total. R.Henderson notes that these elitists gain status through CRT promotion—it gives them cachet to back cheap, fraudulent causes defending the putatively oppressed. These revolutionaries are true believers, bored, resentful, lacking in meaning and self-esteem, so they seek revenge on the people. They are not grateful for their privilege so destroy everything. They feel a weird guilt and feel inferior, so want to give something back to the world. If privileged, then be very ethical and give back to the world.

 

Working class conservatives regard the rich elites, these revolutionaries, as weird, crazy phonies. If they see the world’s problems, they first need to make themselves better persons, and then maybe seek to change the world.”

 

My response: “The cultural Marxists, the globalists, feign guilt over their wealth and comforts, but their compassion for the poor is all about showing off and dramatizing how morally superior there are to working class conservatives. Compassion is their excuse but gathering all power to themselves is their only cause; it is all that motivates them.

 

Podcast: “Power is the fundamental motivation that governs social interaction. Evil people use power to gain power. Villains that are psychopaths, narcissicists, and Machiavellian manipulators use power to gain power.”

 

My response: I agree that power is the fundamental motivation that governs social interaction. Evil people are hierarchical and run in packs. The pack and its leader/leaders have accumulated power in a destructive, pernicious way.

 

Good people, especially anarchist-individuator supercitizens, wield great power individually, while allowing and supporting that powerful, power-wielding neighboring maverizers wield their share of power (roughly calculate and roughly equal) in a capitalist constitutional republic. To exist, each agent must wield power, but it must be roughly in the right amount, wielded to build, traded, produce, manufacture, write poetry, farm, pray and exchange with neighbors.

 

Podcast: “Male authorities build productive coalitions, and they are peaceful, cooperative and respect their neighbors—gain positive, stable power. The wicked cultural Marxists claim that all there is is power (it is the fundamental reality) and power-acquisition and an endless, violent battle between warring interests, tribes, and individuals. When they speak the truth, which is not often, they admit that all they seek is absolute power over everyone, everywhere, forever.”

 

My response: These various Marxists revolutionaries are sick, cunning and quite dangerous. They mean to do what they promise, and they will burn the world to the ground should they take the reins of government here and everywhere.

 

Ethical Criminals

 

No one in the 20^th century was more dangerous and vicious than were some of its most prominent idealists, ethical criminals. Their names were Stalin, Hitler, Mao and Pol Pot.

The most effective, flesh-and-blood evil spirits last century were moral monsters, dreamers with absolute power in their hands.

The Right System

 

Ethicist Dennis Prager wisely cautions that without values, especially the right values like the Ten Commandments and Biblical teachings, humans will not live in a civil, peaceful society.

 

I argue that rational egoism, that utilized by the self-generated anarchist-indiviudator, would complement and support Judeo-Christian and Western values.

 

Now, without intending to contradict myself, and I do not believe that I do, I would like to offer the reader some warning examples of how these “right” value systems can degenerate into the “wrong” value system.

 

As usual, I start with certain moral presuppositions meant to inform and guide us in selecting, shaping, and implementing our finished ethical system.

 

First, any ethical system adopted must increase love in the universe as a result of being practiced: love of God, love of the self and the love of others are some important ways that love can be produced and disseminated resulting from being good and doing good.

 

Second, the moderate stance selected must be slightly one polarity more than its opposite polarity, whether this opposition is constituted by contradictory or contrary opposites.

 

Third, bad means to a just end always corrupts and transforms good values into bad values. When force, terror, tyrannical threats, peer pressure, federal punishment, or forced obedience impelled on the masses by thugs armed with swords, guns or batons, the cure is worse than the disease, no matter the noble end used to justify such hateful means. If someone is to accept one ethical system, it must be wholly their choice, not forced upon them by pressure, trickery, bribes or deception.

 

Fourth, objective moral truths are the ones its proselytizer may claim to be championing, and he may be utterly correct (doubtful) or mostly correct (more likely), but he must not worship his valued ethical abstraction as his one true cause, or his objective moral truth as been degraded and perverted into an obsession, and his totalistic, absolutistic support for it, favoring it at any price, and to be forcibly spread by any means necessary and successful. Once the champion of any ethical system has declined into true believing that he has all the answers, his cause is demonic, and this dangerous moral monster serves the Evil Spirits.

 

Fifth, if the agent group-lives, if he is emotionally and passionately in favor of his cause, not calm, dispassionate and rational about it, his fanaticism will be his moral stance, and that is a bad ethical system. It trumps all other moral considerations.

 

Sixth, if the moral advocate is a proponent of living in hierarchies of one or several interlocking kinds, he is a cog in the machine, no matter what level of stratification he resides at within the institution. This ‘bureaucrat”, suffers from reduced self-esteem, and this is equivalent to admitting that he is filled with self-hatred. Evil is altruism, low self-esteem, self-loathing. The Good is high self-esteem, self-love, egoism, and self-appreciation.

 

Only those that exist as living angels, anarchist-individuator supercitizens, in a capitalistic, constitutional republic, are raised and operate as adults in a environmental, institutional, social and legal ambience that is conducive to them loving themselves and others (this is being good and spreading goodness), and reducing hatred of self and others (reducing hatred of self and all else in the world).

 

Seventh, power relations are critically central to forestalling the ruination of any proffered value system. If the typical moral agent is an anarchist-individuator, serving God and the Good Spirits, he is powerful but restrained by a huge group of powerful, liberty-loving, liberty-wielding, liberty.

 

Humans are born depraved, but can learn to be good persons with trained/acquired good wills (they still sin a little all their lives). In this way, each free agent insists that he has power and money to do his own thing and develop his remarkable, fecund talents. He also is self-limiting so that he never deprives any neighbor of a roughly comparable degree of power for her to do her own thing.

 

A society of such upper middle-class adults, tens of millions of them, agree socially and legally to abuse none, to be abused by none, to rob none other of his power and money, and to disallow—by weapons and force if need be—anyone, anyone at all, to deprive him of his liberty, his power, his property, his life, his ideas, or his money.

 

This list of seven structural categories is not exhaustive or final in providing a complete list of the kinds of problems, embedded in society, that together work to serve as a bad means that derail and pervert a noble end, the implementation of a program of adopted values on behalf of do-gooders, idealists, and well-wishers.

 

Some value systems are better than others, and all likely have sensible suggestions to be absorbed by ethical rivals. All must be humble, and agree that these powerful, destructive means of implementing their favored ethical values, will lead to unintended consequences, a world made worse—even nightmarish--by failed ethical dreams.

 

 

 

 

 

Exacting

 

It is useful and productive to be exacting, stringently pushing yourself to fail and conduct 2^nd-rate efforts, but to keep on polishing your efforts until you become more and more skilled, proficient at what you do. This is the path to artistic creation, brilliant thinking, and original arguments. This is the life and effort of a successful individuators that will keep on improving.

 

A corollary to this way of living is to remind oneself to be exacting with oneself, and not so much against others, as they too are called to be exacting, but they are to so treat themselves on the way to growth and improvement.

 

To Discern

 

It is tricky to define anything, and the philosophers of linguistics, logic, analysis corroborate this with their incessant and accurate knack for undermining any new argument that seeks to be objectively clear and comprehensive in nailing down what people discern, how they do it, and how they communicate their conclusions with the community.

 

All we can hope to achieve is to discern ourselves, our neighbors and events, objects and activities internally as well as externally out there in the world, as they are, and then apply language to correspond as near as possible to what we are thinking, the conscious conclusions about what we have discerned, learned and generalized.

Which Goes First?

 

Which goes first? Essence or Existence—the chicken or the egg?

 

I would answer the first question by insisting the Existence come after Essence, but the study of existence is important and meaningful for knowing how to live, and then work and act to live well.

 

Still Essence-Existence is our living orientation to these opposites, not Existence-Existence as the Existentialist would suggest.
