RHI: responsible-human-independence

 Phil Beaver seeks to collaborate on the-objective-truth, which can only be discovered. The comment box below invites readers to write.

"Civic" refers to citizens who collaborate for individual happiness with civic integrity more than for the city, state, nation, or society.

Consider writing a personal paraphrase of the preamble, which offers fellow citizens mutual equality:  For discussion, I convert the preamble’s predicate phrases to nouns and paraphrase it for my interpretation of its proposal as follows:  "The good People of these" united states facilitate and encourage five civic disciplines---integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity, "in order to” develop responsible human-independence “to ourselves and our Posterity.”I want to improve my interpretation by listening to other citizens and their interpretations yet would preserve the original, 1787, text, unless it is amended by the people.

It seems the Supreme Court occasionally refers to it, and no one has challenged whether or not the preamble is a legal statement. The fact that it changed this independent country from a confederation of states to a union of states deliberately managed by disciplined fellow citizens convinces me the preamble is legal. Equity in opportunity and outcome is shared by the people who collaborate for human justice.

Every citizen has equal opportunity to either trust-in and collaborate-on the goals stated in the preamble or be dissident to the agreement. I think 2/3 of citizens try somewhat to use the preamble but many do not articulate commitment to the goals. However, it seems less than 2/3 understand that “posterity” implies grandchildren. “Freedom of religion,” which fellow citizens have no means to discipline, oppresses freedom to develop integrity.

Selected theme from this week

RHI: responsible-human-independence

On September 17, 1787, 39 of 56 delegates from 12 states proffered an abstract proposal for responsible-human-independence. It affirmed an ancient observation: necessity&justice demand female&male-human-being to independently provide order&peace on earth.

We, the 2021 “ourselves and our Posterity” must accept that neither government nor God will usurp the individual’s opportunity to constrain chaos in their way of living.

I write daily to persuade people to consider 4 documents regarding responsible-human-independence (RHI).

First, Genesis 1, verses 26-28, assert in ancient expressions, sandwiched between the dinosaur die-off and the discovery of their fossils, that humankind is independently responsible for order&peace on earth. I like to say, constrain chaos on earth---chaos like paying taxes to people who support child-labor perpetrators. Necessity&justice demand RHI.

Second, the USA’s declaration of independence from England cites physics&its-source as human authority on earth. It disparages English oppression but does not attack its religion. It separates state from church yet expresses humble-integrity toward both physics&its-progeny and the unknown cause of physics’ laws. In 1776, it cites military might as “the Supreme Judge of the world”. In 1778 the USA negotiated France’s military providence, and it was key to victory at Yorktown, VA in 1781.

Third, having won independence, the USA was not managing domestic politics and could not expect global success as 13 free&independent states. Therefore, delegates met to strengthen the Union, and the result was specification of the United States.

The U.S. is predicated on 5 public disciplines “in order to” encourage&facilitate RHI “to ourselves and our Posterity”. The 5 disciplines are integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity. Religion is not among the disciplines. “Liberty” is license granted by the victor in war or elections rather than RHI. Too often liberty meant drawing fellow-citizen’s blood.

Fourth, the first U.S. Congress unconstitutionally initiated U.S. dependency on religion. First, they hired Protestant chaplains to serve Congress’s perception of divinity on par with the English Parliament’s constitutional partnership with Canterbury. Second, they created an unconstitutional religion-Congress partnership in the First Amendment. The U.S. Supreme Court joined the tyranny as recently as Greece v Galloway (2014). Currently, the U.S. government uses dependency on religion to tyrannize U.S. citizens.

If you live in the U.S., what you can do is lobby to amend the First Amendment so that it promotes RHI rather than legalizes religious opinion. If not, create a similar public action toward RHI in your country. If a citizen does not support RHI, prevent their election or appointment to public offices---local, state, and federal. If an officer does not demonstrate support for RHI, vote them out.

FB add on: On September 17, 1787, the U.S. proposed a nation with the humble-integrity to develop responsible-human-independence. We, the 2021 “ourselves and our Posterity” can establish the U.S. way of living. We can achieve a better future.

https://www.quora.com/Do-you-think-that-those-who-engage-in-cancel-culture-e-g-Facebook-deplatforming-Trump-do-so-as-the-result-of-an-honest-expression-of-their-version-of-personal-ethics-or-merely-as-an-expedient-to-avoid-criticism? by William Vietinghoff

Maybe it’s an honest expression of an ultimatum they haven’t the integrity to articulate. The human-being has always been constrained to responsibly earn their way of living among fellow-citizens. Too many people look to the-God to take their responsibility for the-good.

Briefly, necessity&justice demand that the individual human-being constrain chaos in their lives. A 4 to 5 thousand year old record of an evolutionary expression is in Genesis 1:26-28, in my view. In the year 2021, we know the suggestion developed in less than 300,000 years, probably after 2.8 million years’ necessity&early-death, but certainly not 65 million years ago, when dinosaurs had not begun their die-off. That is to say, the human-being in 2021 knows more than the Genesis 1 views, but has yet to grasp its message: constrain chaos in your way of living.

The human-being who practices integrity retains the two 3-year-old’s conversation: “What’s that?” followed by “I don’t know” when that is so. A polite equivocation of “I don’t know” is “I understand.”

I understand Karl Marx (d. 1883) predicted that the worker would eventually overthrow the elites. That may be what the cancel-culture intends by taking the liberty to stonewall the opposition.

 Liberty is too often mob-license to draw fellow-citizens’ blood; brotherhood is the mob’s violence; and fidelity to the mob is voluntary slavery. That was 1789 France. Violence has become more sophisticated, through European Marxism, South-American liberation-theology, and Alinsky ego-centrism.

Saul Alinsky (d. 1972) devised forms of violence that did not draw blood. For example, recruit enough soldiers to occupy every toilet at O’Hare Airport and agree on an hour and minute of activation; then inform the mayor of the organization’s demands.

Liberation theology developed in 1928 in Peru, and evolved in the U.S. as black liberation theology in the 1950s and 60s through Malcolm X (assassinated 1965), James H. Cone (d. 2018), and not to exclude Muhammad Ali (d. 2016). For all I know, the Ethiopian Tewahedo Bible Canon (360 AD) is older than the Catholic canon, and I doubt its interpretation has God’s people white-skinned.

The assassination of M.L. King, Jr. in 1968 is a mystery that has festered during the last 5 decades as what I call Alinsky-Marxist organizations: a coalition of recruited soldiers will overthrow the elites by psychological-violence. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsfxnaFaHWI in the last two of 48 minutes to hear Alinsky condone violence on personal opinion.

Alinsky, a Chicago student of Al Capone started an institution furthered by his son, David: Gamaliel Foundation. Both Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama studied there. Barack and Michelle founded the Obama Foundation in Chicago.

Necessity&justice demand every human-being to develop the humble-integrity by which to accept being a human-being rather than a skin-colored entity. The people who want the mutual, comprehensive safety&security in which to responsibly pursue the happiness they prefer rather than accommodate and organization’s vision for them cannot enslave themselves to someone else’s cause.

Responsible-human-independence cannot be obtained by dependency. The human-being is constrained to earn the responsible way of living they prefer plus pay the taxes that are necessary&just to maintain safety&security.

A reader may ask for a recommended people’s action. We, the 2021 “ourselves and our Posterity” must amend the First Amendment, in order to encourage and facilitate civic humble-integrity rather than civil religious-opinion.

FB add on: Cancel-culture-soldiers are honest slaves to the wrong cause: end civil-religion. Instead, the nation needs to encourage&facilitate civic humble-integrity.

https://www.quora.com/Can-someone-who-is-Pro-choice-also-make-an-ethical-case-against-infanticide? by Aaron Smith

Responsible female&male-human-being does not conceive when infanticide is in the embryo’s best interest. In other words, the ovum deserves the appreciation&dignity of protection from unwanted fertilization. Unfortunately, not all adolescents and adults are responsible to physics&its-progeny, such as biology and psychology.

Necessity&justice demand that the human-being constrain chaos in their way of living. It’s an ineluctable demand, which the individual cannot alienate, suppress, or consign to another being. A person can act like another species---animal, vegetable, mineral, or spirit---but cannot be that something else.

Consequently, the person who accepts that they are a human-being and also intends to develop their person, attends-to physical&psychological wellness so that body&mind support their person and any progeny they may beget. Further, they seek a similarly humble person of the opposite sex to befriend; and if compatible, consider mutual commitment; and if agreeable, pursue bonding; and if positive, consider intimacy; and if successful consider sexual intimacy in marriage, meaning fidelity for life.

A human-being begins as a viable ovum in a woman’s body and a viable spermatozoon in a man’s body. When the woman and man combine the separate cells, the gametes merge into one cell: the beginning of a cell-dividing embryo. The pairing of chromosomes from each gamete, after gestation and delivery by the woman, causes a unique human infant.

The human infant may develop like a-God-facing-death. However, starting from total ignorance, it takes a human-lifetime for an aware&disciplined infant to develop unique perfection of their person.

Caretakers can encourage&facilitate the human-individual to acquire the power, energy, and authority (HIPEA) to perfect their unique person. It takes opportunity during about ¼-century for the individual to acquire the comprehension&intention to develop humble-integrity rather than accommodate infidelity to self. It takes over 1/3-century in service to fellow-citizens to develop responsible-human-independence. It takes the rest of life to observe&articulate, if not express, the-good, in order to approach perfection of the unique self.

In a culture that promotes chaos-constraint in individual ways of living rather than cultivates dependence, the fertile woman is, of necessity&justice constrained to prevent her-ova-exposure to males who are not authentic men. And the fertile man is constrained to reserve intimacy for that authentic woman who will be his mate for life, including their fidelity to their children, grandchildren, and beyond.

Unfortunately, few fellow-citizens practice these principles. Cultures develop banal sexual attractions in order to gain power over people. The victor in war licenses some groups to exploit others. So far, men have controlled military might, and consequently legislators and judges cite tradition to maintain the pretense of control in a woman’s decision to remain pregnant or not.

I cannot think of clearer evidence that “the rule of law” invalidates itself by trying to reverse the laws of physics and it progeny: biology and psychology. The wanton parties in the conception of an unwanted child have behaved unethically respecting necessity&justice to themselves, to the ovum and the spermatozoon, to the embryo, to medical providers, and to fellow-citizens. The legislators, judges, and doctors who, under “the rule of law”, force a woman to remain pregnant when physics assigned her the responsibility to terminate her pregnancy have breached the human obligation to constrain chaos on earth.

The ethical approach to lessening infanticide is to encourage and facilitate responsible-human-independence “to ourselves and our Posterity” in order to live under humble-integrity rather than with religious-pride.

FB add on: Generally, pride in “the rule of law” must yield to humility toward the laws of physics and its progeny. This includes necessity&justice in human reproduction. Legislators, judges, and doctors justly force neither the woman to remain pregnant nor her viable embryo to face a life the mother does not authorize&endorse. Exploiting human-attraction ruinously defies the-rule-of-physics, and “ourselves and our Posterity” continuously pay the price, so far.

https://www.quora.com/What-is-a-social-construct? by Rich Kutney

I apologize for missing your question since 4/19.

Fortunately, Merriam Webster online defines some phrases like this one, and has “an idea that has been created and accepted by the people in a society”. That’s too kind to the tyrants of the world.

The social construct I refer to is grounded in the-ineluctable-truth that exists under the laws of physics and its progeny such as psychology. Most of the-ineluctable-truth is unknown, and humankind has two kinds of explorers: those who intend to discover and responsibly use the-ineluctable-truth and those who plan to deceive fellow-citizens of the world for personal gain, such as power or wealth or both.

Explorers and discoverers who intend to aid humankind have no intentions to social constructs: they adhere to the laws of physics and it progeny. The others observe human interest in an imaginary concern and develop a way to utilize that concern for power over the people.

For example, civic-citizens want mutual, comprehensive safety and security so that they and fellow-citizens can pursue the happiness each of them wants rather than submit to the vision someone else has for them. They observe that not everyone lives by this principle, so they necessarily behave to develop statutory justice, or at least earn enough to pay taxes to support law enforcement and its journey toward justice.

The tyrants who support the social contract keep the people bemused so that the originators can maintain control.

Take for example, the 1789 U.S. Congress and its progeny. The 1787 U.S. Constitution, proposes 5 amendable public disciplines---integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity, “in order to” encourage and facilitate responsible-human-independence “to ourselves and our Posterity”; in keeping with the 1776 declaration of war for independence from church-state-legislation. Like teenaged adolescents, the First Congress had no intention effect the constitution-signers intentions for fellow-citizens to hold Congress accountable, so they re-established Anglo-American church-state-legislation by 1) hiring Congressional chaplains in 1789 and 2) codifying a 1791 religion-Congress-partnership in the First Amendment’s religion clauses. Nothing in humankind’s quest to constrain chaos on earth authorizes the civil-imposition of religion.

However, the erroneous social-construct imposed by Congress, maintained by the U.S. Supreme Court, and used to advantage by U.S. administrations continues to befuddle U.S. citizens so far in 2021. From the USA’s 1782 “E Pluribus Unum” to the U.S.’s 1956 “In God We Trust” to 2021 madness for “diversity” the 1787 U.S., intentions for We the People of the United States to develop necessary justice is side-tracked.

We, the 2021 “ourselves and our Posterity” must demand 5 reforms: 1) Congress to amend the First Amendment so as to encourage and facilitate civic humble-integrity rather than civil religious-pride, 2) inform the Supreme Court that justice is developed on the laws of physics and its progeny rather than on legal opinion (therefore, English precedent is not interesting to U.S. law), 3) order the administration to balance U.S. revenues and payments, because “ourselves” will no longer live high on the hog on posterity’s back, 4) update the preamble to the U.S. Constitution to clarify its essence: the public discipline so that the continuum “ourselves and our Posterity” are empowered to develop statutory justice under responsible-human-independence, and 5) inform fellow-citizens that no one can obtain a license to vote without demonstrating their past support for the U.S. purpose, stated in the updated preamble.

I read and write to learn, so please comment. Mr. Kutney, I learned from your question and show appreciation on my blog, A Civic People.

FB add on:  The social contract, a citizen must first be civilly religious, has brought We the People of the United States to divergent chaos. Five reforms are needed to clarify 1787 U.S. intentions. Once fellow-citizens effect the reforms, the world will again imagine an achievable better future.

https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-an-individual-s-core-values-and-opinions? by William Elliott

I think it depends upon the individual. Some people think tyranny pays.

The newborn human being has the posture “I don’t know” or “What’s that?”

Eventually the individual may observe&accept (O&A) being a human being. Further, they may O&A human individual power, individual energy, and individual authority (HIPEA) to either develop humble-integrity toward the-ineluctable-truth or to accommodate infidelity to their self. If the former, they maintain “I don’t know” when that is so. If the latter, they believe something rather than wait to discover the-ineluctable-truth.

The person who maintains “I don’t know” may follow with “However, I have earned an opinion” and express it. If so, they hope to learn an improvement on the opinion they hold.

For example, I think it is prudent to reserve sufficient humility toward the-good rather than deny the-good for a personal-God. In other words, it seems alright to develop hope and comfort in a personal-God while reserving the humility the-God may require. I admit that by introducing the article “the” to express singularity, it may seem that I am denying the Trinity. But I am not doing so. I do not know what the-God is.

However, I have earned the opinion that it is not too far from the demand for human necessity&justice. I appreciate the opportunity to constrain chaos in my way of living without trying to define the demand-source.

I would appreciate comments, as I write to learn.
