The-ineluctable-truth

 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 appreciation:  For discussion, I convert the preamble’s predicate phrases to nouns and paraphrase it for my interpretation of its proposal as follows We the People of the United States proffer & practice 5 public disciplines —- integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity, “in order to” encourage & facilitate 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

The-ineluctable-truth

Many people have not encountered the word “ineluctable”. Merriam-webster.com, perhaps defines it “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted”. Coupled with “truth”, an article, and 2 hyphens, we have “the-ineluctable-truth”, which seems precise& accurate. Let’s find a better expression.

A couple of essays this week elaborate on the phrase.  

Quora

https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-traditional-values-Republicans-claim-to-stand-for? by Gary Pearson

I don’t know.

I hope Donald Trump or better runs for president without a religious-conservative running mate. Also, I hope the winner, queried by the Supreme Court Chief Justice, “. . . so help you God”? Answers, “Of course not. I take full responsibility for my decisions”, or better.

Republicans claim fiscal conservatism but participated in the accumulation of $29 trillion federal debt since they led the replacement of the 1782 motto “E Pluribus Unum” with “In God We Trust”, in 1956.

The problem starts with that Anglo-American-religion preserver, James Madison. In 1789 England, John Burke and Tomas Paine debated natural-law vs reason; humankind the property of the-God vs humankind able to manage this world; metaphysics vs physics& its progeny. In 1789-1791, Congress, under Madison’s conversion to conservatism re-established English civil precedents as much as possible; not only preserving Blackstone, but unconstitutionally imposing factional-American Protestantism. Congress mimicked England’s divine partnership, with 26 seats in Parliament assigned to the Church of England.

Apparently, the-God-of-human-choice-consequences prefers human-being to accept responsibility for peace to the living species and to this world. (I think that was suggested 5,000 years ago, and reported in 3,000 year-old media-bias; see Genesis 1:26-28.) The uSA’s 1776 declaration of war by “the good People of these Colonies” against England together-with the 1787 U.S. Constitution could establish such a culture. The faction We the People of the United States, who intend the preamble’s 5 domestic disciplines “in order to” practice, facilitate, and encourage responsible-human-independence (RHI) “to ourselves and our Posterity” (including legal immigrants) may yet establish the intended United States. Religion, omitted from the preamble’s 5 disciplines, is reserved for adult-personal-privacy.

Under RHI, conservatism has one purpose: to gauge human choices on necessity& justice rather than on religious beliefs. The Supreme Court decides constitutional disputes on the-ineluctable-evidence rather than originalism or precedent, English or not. The civic-citizens neither initiate nor accommodate harm/injury. The USA could . . . should conduct a Constitutional convention to establish RHI to the-ineluctable-truth rather than to English tradition. I once though Republican could lead the reform.

https://www.quora.com/What-current-independence-movements-do-you-think-may-be-successful? by Jerry Enebuse

I hope my work, responsible-human-independence (RHI) as opposed to bestowed “freedom” and licensed "liberty” is on your radar, Mr. Enebuse.

Please see the work at promotethepreamble.blogspot.com (infrequent posts, updated, like “civic glossary”) and at cipbr.blospot.com (weekly, collections of essays that improve key phrases, always in original writing, in responses to questions).

The premise is that after 295,000 years’ homo sapiens psychological development, a political philosophy perhaps 5,000 years ago suggested that female&male-human-being may choose to independently establish peace to the other living species and to the earth.

Since then, diverse civilizations have tried to construct a higher-than-humankind-power that will usurp the human responsibility. Within the civilizations, individual civic-citizens perceive& imagine RHI. They hope someone will call attention, organize, and undertake the difficult task of persuading fellow-citizens with sufficient articulation. Instead, tyrants employ coercion& force to control the people.

In my blogs, I develop words and phrases I think appeal to most people’s experiences& observations and offer those phrases for fellow-citizens to consider& improve. If we constrain the babble that divides us, civic-citizens will increase to over 2/3 of inhabitants and be able to constrain dependent fellow citizens so that they may reform to RHI.

For example, even civic-citizens often debate “God” for a lifetime, never realizing the other party characterizes their-God differently. Some RHI have a peace-God and some dependents develop a violence-God. Some assume the-God accommodates both personal-Gods. Each person represents their personal-God, assuming that the-God approves their characterization; never admitting that the-God may oppose their personal-God. It seems prudent for people who develop a personal-God to retain humility that is acceptable to the-God. What if the-God controls the consequences of all human choices?

In another example, scholars typically introduce “truth” then add a modifier such as fundamental, or absolute, or ultimate, or literal, then conclude with “their-truth”. Merriam-webster.com (perhaps singlulary) suggests “ineluctable” means “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted”. Google ngrams show “ineluctable” was a translation from foreign languages in 1571, and both “ineluctable truth” and “the ineluctable truth” were published in 1906. I add 2 hyphens to urge readers& listeners to not disassemble the phrase “the-ineluctable-truth”. I think this phrase, like the-God facilitates an achievable better future.

What do you think of this --- RHI?

https://www.quora.com/Is-hypocrisy-a-social-construct? by Chengez Hussaini

I don’t think so.

Merriam-webster.com suggests “social construct” means “an idea that has been created and accepted by the people in a society”.

The entity We the People of the United States neither created nor accepts the religion-legislation-Court partnership that empowers U.S. administrations to continuously tyrannize “ourselves and our Posterity” according to English tradition: Anglo-Americanism.

The propaganda freedom-from English oppression and liberty-to pursue-chosen-happiness hide each citizen’s personal-potential to develop responsible-human-independence (RHI).

Google quote: “As a highly decentralized array of autonomous groups, antifa uses both nonviolent and violent direct action to achieve its aims rather than policy reform.”

It’s OK to think republican fellow-citizens erroneous. But “et al” vigilantism is both wrong and illegal.  

https://www.quora.com/How-does-state-power-limit-the-economic-and-individual-freedom-of-its-citizens? by Unidentified Mysterious Creature

Unfortunately, state elections are pure democracy: 50% plus one vote invokes rule of the mob. The consequence is cycling mob-control leading to chaos. When the mob is a coalition of minority groups, the consequence is social-democracy or divergent chaos.

In the U.S. federation of 50 states, 6 territories, and Wa.D.C., the citizen can sell property and move to a more amenable location or even to a foreign land. If so, they have exercised the freedom to move, but at economic loss.

The failure is that the continuum “ourselves and our Posterity” (including legal immigrants) have not held the U.S. elected& appointed officials to the Constitution’s promise: a republican form of government to the states.

The most regrettable offense the faction We the People of the United States has accommodated since 1788 is bemusement over freedom& liberty rather than preservation of the responsible-human-independence (RHI) proffered in the 1787 U.S. Constitution.

We, the 2021 “ourselves and our Posterity” may reform the USA.

https://www.quora.com/Societal-objectives-is-among-the-objectives-of-HRM-What-are-your-views-on-this? by Mona

I think “HRM” expresses Human Resource Management and there is a branch “SHRM” that exalts arbitrary societal-control.

I’m concerned about “societal objectives is”, depending on the HR departments’ boldness/arrogance respecting “society”.

If HR holds that “society” means the faction of human-beings who practice, facilitate, and encourage responsible-human-independence (RHI), I’m on board.

In a RHI-society, while no one expects utopia, everyone believes (erroneously or not) that most fellow-citizens are due the chance to discover& accept self-interest in RHI. If a dependent-person is granted clearly expressed, HR-affordable-time to comprehend& accept RHI but will not reform, they should be discharged without compensation. 

It takes each human-being a quarter-century to complete the wisdom-building parts of the brain and additional years’ experience& observation for their comprehension to either accept RHI or try-to-accommodate dependency. The dependences include passivity, higher-power reliance, abuse, infidelity, crime, evil, tyranny, and worse. The fellow-citizen who responds to every appeal by HR with “You’re harassing me”, yet each time will not specify the evidence, must be fired. Why?

It is critical to the dependent fellow-citizen to personally confront their dependency, resolve to reform, do the work to comprehend RHI, and start a life of self-interest in civic-integrity. The RHI culture must constrain fellow-citizens who insist on arrogant harm/injury to persons or institutions.

If HR is trying to enslave workers, HR must be constrained.

https://www.quora.com/Why-is-censorship-allowed-in-an-open-democratic-society? by Graham C Lindsay

I don’t know.

I live in the USA, which is a representative republic with Constitution well designed to prevent social-democracy. The USA encourages civic-integrity, where “civic” refers to reliability in proffered-behavior among fellow-citizens.

Democracy brings inevitable ruin, and social-democracy accelerates the path to destruction.

In a civic-culture, individuals neither initiate nor accommodate harm/injury to-or-from any person or institution. Civic-citizens accept HIPEA, develop humble-integrity, and practice, facilitate, and encourage responsible-human-independence (RHI).

However, not every person wants personal-RHI. Some prefer a dependency: passivity, higher power, indolence, infidelity, abuse, crime, evil, tyranny, or worse. Quoting the 1776 Declaration, “the good People of these [States]”, the continuum We the People of the United States, practice 5 disciplines --- integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity “in order to” maintain RHI “to ourselves and our Posterity” including legal-immigrants. These principles are abstractly, controversially written in the literature yet flow in the genes and blood of civic-citizens and dissidents who reform.

Few, if any Americans express these principles other than in the way they gauge their ways of living. The individual objective is responsible, preferred-personal-happiness rather than the chaos a social democracy would impose.

https://www.quora.com/Is-it-toally-legal-for-tech-companies-Google-Facebook-Instagram-Twitter-to-oppress-Freedom-of-Speech-on-their-platforms-and-obviously-favor-only-one-side-of-political-views-because-they-are-private-companies? by John D.

Freedom of speech works both ways. A company has the right to reject expressions they deem harmful or injurious. The problem is the U.S. First Amendment with its blanket freedoms: speech, press, and religion. All three of them need constraint according to the laws of physics and its progeny rather than license on legislative fiat. The legislative, judicial, and administrative branches each have their limitations, and there is no reason to exempt speech, press, and religion.

We, the 2021 “ourselves and our Posterity” including legal immigrants may amend the First Amendment so as to practice, facilitate, and encourage civic-integrity among the elites, too: government officials, the media, and churches.

https://www.quora.com/Why-is-freedom-of-expression-a-disputed-concept? by Adriana Moraes

Freedom of expression is a feature of the First Amendment, ratified in 1791 by Congress, its author. It refutes the domestic disciplines listed in the preamble, authored by the 39 signers among the 55 framers of the U.S. Constitution, 1787.

The preamble’s 5 disciplines are: integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity. Some expressions breach one or more of the disciplines. For example, demonstrating interpretative religious faith by handling poisonous snakes endangers onlookers and risks orphaning handler’s children. And falsely reporting an emergency to a crowd invites liability for injury or death.

We, the 2021 “ourselves and our Posterity” may amend the first amendment to correct freedoms of expression, the press, and religion so as to promote civic-integrity rather than to license harm/injury.

https://www.quora.com/What-was-the-primary-aim-of-the-framers-of-the-Constitution? by Carol Bailey

Ms Bailey, that’s a good question.

I don’t know and think anyone who pretends seems as arrogant as the believer who claims either that their personal-God is the-God of human-individual-action-consequences or that that-God is non-existent. Yet I don’t know.

On the other hand, I think the 55-delegate 1787-framers worked out an abstract representative-republican federation that proffers independent domestic discipline as suggested in civic political-philosophy 5,000 years-ago& resisted by civilizations then and now.

First, U.S. citizens may amend the Constitution. Second, following the words of the 1776 declaration of war for independence from England, “the good People [of these States]” practice, facilitate, and encourage 5 domestic disciplines: integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity. The purpose of these voluntary disciplines is to practice, facilitate, and encourage responsible-human-independence (RHI) to the continuum “ourselves and our Posterity”, including legal immigrants. Religion is excluded from the civic-disciplines. Posterity’s posterity may discover statutory justice.

The above paragraph is my interpretation of the preamble to the U.S. Constitution, by which I gauge my civic behavior. Most citizens don’t own an interpretation, because legislators, judge, and administrators in local, state, and federal governments themselves have to behave with RHI rather than as self-promoting rulers.

By allowing the 1788 elites and the 1789 U.S. legislators to author the 1791 Bill of Rights without accountability, We the People of the United States abdicated the 5,000-year-old suggestion:  Female&male-human-being may choose to independently provide order& prosperity in this world. This, a recognition of necessity& justice for human-being survival, came after 295,000 years’ psychological development by homo sapiens.

We, the 2021 “ourselves and our Posterity” may accept that neither the-God nor a government can usurp the individual human-being’s choice: behave with RHI or suffer the laws of physics& its progeny, whatever its source may be.

To accomplish reform, we may amend the First Amendment so as to promote civic-RHI rather than civil-religious-legislation. Then effect further reforms to end the tranny of English tradition in the USA.

https://www.quora.com/How-can-you-explain-the-following-The-right-of-other-people-limits-our-freedom-and-Freedom-is-a-gift-and-a-responsibility? by Angel Sai

These sayings about freedom are vain attempts to address the obvious: no government offers freedom. Furthermore, the human-being is constrained by physics and its progeny: the person who does not work for a living risks eating what a bureaucrat offers.

What citizens need is responsible-human-independence (RHI) and government that encourages, coaches, and facilitates the domestic discipline that is required for individuals and associations to behave with RHI.

To promote RHI a nation licenses voters on maturity respecting the disciplines and intention the nation proffers. In the USA, the adult faction of We the People of the United States who accept 5 domestic disciplines --- integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity, “in order to” encourage, facilitate, and practice RHI “to ourselves and our Posterity” (including legal immigrants) ought to be licensed to vote on evidence of performance.

Citizens who wish to run for office, elected or nominated, ought to present evidence of RHI-leadership.   

https://www.quora.com/Why-is-truth-a-scarce-commodity-that-everyone-needs-yet-no-one-is-ready-to-sell? by Ayah Ben

Ironically, “truth” raises my suspicion. When the speaker claims to express truth, my subconscious anticipates acceptance, admittance, and announcement of ignorance. Too often, the speaker either never addresses reliability or modifies the claim: apparent, literal, fundamental, ultimate, absolute, theoretical, repeatable, settled, or some other admission that their initial indication was lacking.

“Truth” often address what is known and what is unknown. For example, landlubbers knew the earth was flat, while mid-sea-island dwellers perceived our planet a globe.

Recently, I discovered the merriam-webster.com usage “ineluctable”: “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted”. The-ineluctable-truth seems an accurate& precise expression.

Then I studied Google ngrams and learned that “ineluctable” is 1571 translation of foreign-language; it has been around in English for 450 years. Next, “the ineluctable truth” was published in 1906. I ponder:  Why didn’t my 1950s elementary school or beyond expose me to “the-ineluctable-truth” or better?

Only open dialogue by sincere citizens can produce comprehension that improves mutual connection. And by sincerely wanting human life without chaos could scholars have coupled “ineluctable” and “truth” before 1906 or shared “the ineluctable truth” 115 years ago. Perhaps the scholars are seeking a more representative expression --- more accurate& precise.

The-ineluctable-truth exists, and evidence-researchers sincerely work for discovery. The-ineluctable-truth does not respond to reason, coercion, force, revelation, politics, legal opinion, doctrine, ethics, rules, or any other human construct. Human-being can research the-objective-truth using ineluctable-evidence, invent new instruments of perception, and thereby approach the-ineluctable-truth. For example, it seems the earth is like a globe.

I seek an expression more representative than “the-ineluctable-truth”. Please share it.

https://www.quora.com/Why-is-it-difficult-to-have-a-perfect-government? by Omodolapo Olaleye

Government could be established as domestic discipline by the people. That suggestion was made by a political philosopher in Sumer, 5,000 years ago and again in the 1787 U.S. Constitution. It was regressed by the 1789 Congress to Anglo-American-tradition in the 1791 Bill of Rights.

The human-being is a god facing death: that is, the human-being can develop the individual power, the individual energy, and has the individual authority (HIPEA) to constrain chaos in their way of living. When a person develops necessity-to-justice, they offer fellow citizens responsible-human-independence (RHI).

Government operates on coercion and force to impose on citizens the happiness government conceives for them. However, the RHI-citizen will not settle for less than the personal-happiness they desire at each stage of living.

To Michael Mealy:

My reference to Sumer, 5000 years ago, expresses my open-minded& open-hearted intentions to un-hide possible impact of Genesis 1:26-28. I prefer physics to metaphysics. For example, if someone presents a “gold nugget” (specific gravity 19.3), weigh it and observe displacement in water, to measure SG 2.64. Identify feldspar, dispelling the person’s dream yet saving their wealth for better potentials. Many fellow citizens are unable to regard Bible as ancient literature rather than “the-word-of-the-God”. The Bible introduces competitive-Gods described by ancient thinkers, proliferating to over 45,000 religious sects in 2021.

Genesis 1 is a 3,000 year-old Hebrew report of a civic political-suggestion from 2,000 years earlier. The student need not worry about Hebrew knowledge: self-evidently their viewpoint was metaphysical about the ancient metaphysics. Accepting human-being authority, I may be subjective in my pursuits. I choose to focus on physics and its progeny (including psychology) with limited 2021 comprehension, to decide how I desire to utilize the suggestion.

To guide my personal behavior rather than influence others, Genesis 1:28 means:  Female&male-human-being may choose to independently constrain chaos in this world. On that choice, human beings divide themselves between responsible-human-independence (RHI) and dependency; for example, indolence or crime. People who pray for self-discipline avoid/resist RHI. People who impose personal-God to express Genesis 1:28 miss their opportunity to practice necessity& justice. Make no mistake: I don’t know the-ineluctable-truth about the-God.

Also, my purpose is to share my subjectivity with fellow-citizens so as to learn from them. I must say, Mr. Mealy, you are rare in direct appreciation of my work; thank you. You cannot confirm it, but the paragraphs I wrote so far are my best ever expressions of the ideas:  You’ve taught me by presenting your sincere-fellow-person to write for.  

Genesis 1 is written depicting “God” (NIV) the creators of all that exists using both plural and singular pronouns for a common noun, suggesting the earth a fog-covered-water& firmament under the creator’s spirit and female& male in the creator’s image. Genesis 2:4 begins characterization of “the Lord God”, an entity that instructs and contends with Israel. The ruler-characterization expresses a civil negotiation for a “Lord” to usurp the RHI from necessity& justice.

Spousal-infidelity and imposed-male-supremacy kick-in, with Eve “misleading” Adam, the commander-in-chief of all humankind, Sara impatient for Isaac’s conception, and David plotting for his libido. In my subjectivity, the rest of Bible canon depicts the unwanted consequences when female&male-human-being avoid, change, or resist the suggestion in Genesis 1:28, based on physics rather than metaphysics: avoid chaos in personal behavior. I don’t know and prefer my choices.

The Bible seems to indicate 10 generations from each Adam, to Noah, to Abraham and 14 generations each to David, to exile to Babylonia, to Jesus. In all, 62 generations from Adam to Jesus, traditionally, 3974 years, or 64 years’ average lifespan. In 2021, we think homo sapiens is 300,000 years old, descendants of “Adam” span 120 to 156 thousand years, of “Eve” 99 to 148, and the 2021 “ourselves and our Posterity” descended from Eve. Thus, Eve was among Adam’s descendants of 8 to 21 thousand years. To me, 2021 awareness is awesome, overwhelming, and encouraging. We

Addressing Tao (I deem an erroneous philosophy to compete with the laws of physics to constrain human behavior)  and The Objectivist Ethics, I could take interest in Rand’s definition as I modify it as follows: "the concept of [man female&male-human-being] as [a heroic being independently able to constrain chaos in personal living and provide order& prosperity to the species in this world], with [his own responsible-personal-happiness, acting in necessity& justice] as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and [reason physics and its progeny] as his only absolute". I have no respect for the United Nation’s list of human rights, a boast by elitists who intend to control the citizens of the world for elite benefits.

Considering your wonderful thoughts about the 1776 uSA declaration of war for independence from England, I think the preamble you seek improves on the 1776 Declaratoin and the U.S. preamble (1787) in concert with Genesis 1:28’s RHI. First, the false-idea of nature’s “human rights” applies to 1513’s expose, “The Prince”: Machiavellian ruse by the elites of the Western-European world.

The only valid human-right I am aware of is the opportunity to develop the humble-integrity that is required to practice RHI. If we modify the Enlightenment ploy that attempts “liberty”-surrogacy for RHI, the U.S. preamble needs no other improvement, in my opinion, and I want to know your opinion (and other reader’s subjectivity for their way of living).

The preamble’s words are available online, and it contains 2 sentences: first, presentation of the 1787, 12-states-proposed, U.S. Constitution and second, quoting the 1776 Declaration, the proposal “the good People of these [States]” practice 5 domestic disciplines “in order to” develop RHI. The 5 disciplines are: integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity, leaving philosophy, spiritualism, and religion to personal-privacy. Owning a personal interpretation of the U.S. preamble is the most important work to empower a person to count themselves a member of the entity We the People of the United States who practice, facilitate, and encourage RHI “to ourselves and our Posterity”.

Returning to history, the required 9 of 13 states ratified the Constitution on June 21, 1788 provided Congress would add a Bill-of-Rights to mimic the 1689 English Bill-of-Rights. U.S. operation began under 11 states on March 4, 1789. Undoing the 1787 proffered RHI, Congress re-established as many English precedents as politically possible under 10 of 14 states on December 15, 1791. Today, there are 50 states, 6 territories, and WaDC under Chapter XI Machiavellianism. The Machiavellianism:  Under church-in-state deceipt, church& political elites live high on the hog and the people neither rebel nor emigrate, because “ourselves and our Posterity” pray to personal-Gods for relief from the losses& mystery. That is, the suggestion in Genesis 1 is avoided, changed, or resisted by the church-believers.

So far, 12 generations of the continuum “ourselves and our Posterity” accommodated this U.S. tyranny. The Supreme Court is party to the civil oppression. For example, in Greece v Galloway (2014) the justice’s-5:4-vote (without regard for the-ineluctable-truth) hold my concerns as “niggling”.

Some fellow citizens ask: Phil at age 78 and falling apart, why don’t you take your meds and shut up? I think elites use code-words to persuade most people to “keep the faith” in Chapter XI Machiavellianism. With 2/3 of the population earnestly urging their personal-God to usurp RHI, it is easy for the elites to accumulate wealth, enslaving the people in whatever income category they manage to survive.

Lastly, I admire the implications in your “human interactions”, “the condition of human ‘being’”, and “why . . . violate natural law”. First, interactions address both parties, and I perceive 5 possibilities: mutual RHI, RHI and dependency and vice versa, and mutual dependents in kind and differing. Also, there’s an endless list of dependencies beyond RHI’s subjectivity to physic& progeny: passivity, reliance on higher power, indolence, infidelity, abuse, crime, evil, tyranny, and worse.

I have chosen to encourage “the civic-citizen”, who neither initiates nor accommodates harm/injury to-or-from any person or institution. In conformity to Genesis 1:28, the civic-citizen aids, in behavior and with tax payments, both law-enforcement and research to develop statutory-justice. There’s lots more to accepting the responsibility of “being” a human-being. What is your view of “natural law”? You seem to imply that violations are perplexing --- not expected as some thinkers contend. I agree with you.

I learned so much be considering your thoughts. Let’s dialogue as much as you like and can tolerate my poor expression. My desire is to unlock the propaganda words& phrases that enslave us to the world’s elites; for example, “self-governance” instead of self-discipline, “consent of the governed” instead of deceit by the elites, “freedom& liberty” to suppress RHI, doctrinal-God to avoid, change, or resist the-God, whether it be an intelligent entity, the source of physics, an unlimited singularity, chaos, or something else.

https://www.quora.com/unanswered/Which-countries-hold-the-right-to-live-as-the-most-important-fundamental-right-Do-you-think-it-should-shouldnt-be? by Sean Brisbane

For the first part of your question, I suggest studying global statistics such as found at data.worldbank. org/indicator/SP.DYN.TO65.FE.ZS. Life-survival seems to correlate with wealth. How wealth is distributed within a country therefore has a significant impact on longevity.

I prefer to spend my effort on your second question:  Should civilization warrant human-being? I don’t know, but don’t think so.

The human-being has responsible-human-independence (RHI). Working backwards, the adult who expects a higher power to usurp their RHI has not accepted being human. The young adult who does not comprehend& intend to develop RHI invites early death. The child who is not encouraged, coached, and facilitated to take charge of their personal comprehension& intention is subject to early death.

I don’t think any civilization inculcates these principles to their youth, facilitates them to their adults, and thereby demonstrates to humankind the self-interest of RHI. I recall in my youth being encouraged to self-discipline. How to accomplish self-discipline was left to me. For whatever reason, I focused more on learning& experiencing than on self-discipline.

With the chance to live again, I would develop serene-confidence in self-discipline so as to acquire the humble-integrity required to practice RHI. My process would be guided by necessity& justice based on the ineluctable-evidence; not to be avoided, changed, or resisted. In other words, I would never equivocate “I don’t know” when that is so. To acquire comprehension of necessity, I would rely on physics and its progeny: mathematics, the chemistries, biology, psychology, imagination, fiction, emotions --- everything that is affirmed by human-being’s experiences& observations. My goal would be to constrain chaos in my way of living and be ready to share the benefits of self-discipline with interested fellow-citizens.

But not every fellow-citizen is interested in RHI. Many individuals want to employ their human-being for a dependency: waiting for a higher power, indolence, abuse, infidelity, crime, evil, tyranny, and worse. The dependent fellow-citizens must be constrained by citizens for RHI until they reform by developing RHI. When a fellow citizen attempts to prevent human-being, for example, by intentionally killing a fellow citizen who posed no threat, forfeited all rights, including life. Necessity& justice demand this civil provision and its adjudication on the-ineluctable-evidence rather than emotions, judicial opinion, or legal precedent.

If death penalty is accepted as necessary& just, it begs a deeper consideration: Should an ovum waiting to be born suffer an inauthentic insemination? That is, should conceptions that are neither appreciated nor intended for human-care, encouragement, coaching, and facilitation unto human-being be accommodated by RHI-citizens? The alternative to maintaining the wealth& education disparity that results in shorter life-average is for government to license procreation based on awareness and intentions to preserve the dignity and equity due the human-ovum.

On first encounter, procreation licensing seems opposed to human rights. However, human-being has the right to survive, and the earth was overpopulated& consumed before “global warming” drew attention. A few decades ago, population control was much discussed. However, that solution seems low in the priorities. I suspect that fact is due to a competing consideration: wealth building be the elite.

World debt is about $300 trillion, of which the U.S. has accumulated $29 trillion. The elites of the world build wealth on consumerism, and consumerism is driven by population. Governments (not the RHI fellow-citizens) create “rights” on which they can justify entitlements to redistribute gross national product from RHI-citizens to dependents, with the elites the beneficiaries of the redistribution. In other words, the poor and other dependents listed above are maintained so that elite-entrepreneurs can glean wealth from the RHI-citizens.

Someone may be the second person of the day to write that I don’t know what I am talking about. However, warranting a human life is not a simple consideration, and any government that says it can do so is not addressing the challenges.

Obviously, Mr. Kelsey, you don’t know enough to inform me. That is, to improve on my view of the-ineluctable-truth, which I don’t know. Yet I work to discover if human-being has begun the research.

You hint persuasion that the USA will dominate the world, even though bitcoin is attempting to take/destroy its wealth if not yours as I write.

You express the weakness of Alinsky-Marxist organization (AMO), and the impact of Rule #5 on you. Thanks for informing me if not you.

I’d like to wish you luck. But first, you’ll need to reform as much as possible.

For FB & Twitter

Until about 1994, I was part of the majority persuaded to extol freedom-from oppression, liberty-to pursue USA-happiness, freedom-of expression, and freedom-of religion. My religious church freely disparaged my wife and children's Church, and helped me realize a quarter-century later that my trust& commitment (faith) have always been in the-ineluctable-truth (not to be avoided, changed, or resisted).

By 1999, I learned that "freedom of the press" was license to suppress my responsible-pursuit-of the-happiness-I-desire.

Weeks before Veterans Day, 2021, I wrote that Congress, the Supreme Court, and presidential administrations do all they can to distract U.S. citizens from practicing, facilitating, and encouraging responsible-human-independence (RHI).

Three abstract documents together: the political-philosophy proffered in Genesis 1:28, the uSA 1776 declaration-of-war for independence to "the good People of these Colonies", and the U.S. 1787 U.S. domestic discipline "to ourselves and our Posterity" including legal immigrants establish the opportunity for U.S. citizens to choose RHI rather than a dependency: positivity, submission-to higher power, indolence, abuse, infidelity, crime, evil, tyranny, and worse.

We, the 2021 "ourselves and our Posterity" can end the Supreme Court's dominance in our lives and fortunes by requiring elected& appointed officials to-practice RHI and justices to debate laws on the-ineluctable-evidence. If the-evidence is unknown, opinion is demanded only on necessity& justice. In other words, in discovering the-ineluctable-truth, judicial precedence has no standing in appreciation of the 3 documents mentioned above.

There's no justice in forcing a fellow-citizen to undertake the mystery of COVID vaccination when they prefer self-protection. I warily took 2 vaccinations eight months ago then received my booster shot yesterday. My card has provision for a future booster.

There's no way I'd want a fellow-citizen to overturn my decision and can't imagine Justices with RHI attempting to.

I discover every day that many people independently, rather than like Paul in “my God”. They take personal humility for granted and don't consider Paul's seeming arrogance.

I use the term "the-God" to influence a future wherein some people are comfortable expressing confidence& hope in their personal-God, in privacy, while publically expressing humility with the term "the-God"; sometimes, even in church or in family prayer, especially if a family-member has chosen a different religion.

Often, 2 people happily discuss "God", not realizing that they are talking past each other's personal-God. "The-God" articulates the humility each party holds to the other's personal-God.

I guess my thinking comes from 54 years in-love with Cynthia, a Louisiana French-Catholic woman whose religious beliefs are vital to me for her.

Yet, when the future Bishop of Baton Rouge, Msg. Stanley Ott refused my request to administer "The Lord's Supper in Remembrance" for me only as he delivered the Eucharist for my family, I changed conversations with him to baseball.

Those of us who know a shipbuilder and a carpenter are fortunate indeed.

Overnight, I realized that some people might take my shipbuilder& carpenter comment as sacrilege. I apologize for that offense, and admit I tried to work through my uncertainty as I wrote.

The experience clarified for the first time why I continually honor you, Cleve, for your service to humankind's safety in ocean transportation. Without direct experience, I can only compare it with what carpenters have done for our home. Even when our foundation cracked, our framing and all the finish carpentry held together. Many of the features of our home I appreciate most are the meeting of surfaces and corners, where finish carpentry 35 years ago is the foundation of sealed& painted beauty still there.

Humankind appreciates persons who take the responsibility for safety& security to this world as well as those who provide excellence to individuals; for example, shipbuilders and carpenters, respectively.

I am grateful for this opportunity to clarify that I an not insincere when I honor Cleve Wright among the reliable shipbuilders of the world.

Please suggest an expression that is more accurate& precise than “the-ineluctable-truth”; that is, not to be avoided, changed, or resisted.

Ironically, “truth” raises my suspicion. When the speaker claims to express truth, my subconscious anticipates acceptance, admittance, and announcement of ignorance. Too often, the speaker either never addresses reliability or modifies the claim: apparent, literal, fundamental, ultimate, absolute, theoretical, repeatable, settled, or some other admission that their initial indication was lacking.

Thanks to Brij Mohon then Hugh Finklea, I faced personal dilemma when Harold Weingarten, on January 19, 2006, asked “Phil, what do you mean by ‘truth’? Ultimate truth, absolute truth, God’s truth, Phil’s truth?” The late Doug Johnson aided me. Thank you again, friends.

I hadn’t personally settled my presentation-definition: “The truth: what is-known&unknown”. That’s ambiguous at best. I hope I shared an example, like: landlubbers knew the earth was flat, while mid-sea-island dwellers perceived a big ball.

Ten years later, I expressed “the-objective-truth”, wherein each the modifier “objective”, the article “the”, and the 2 hyphens complete the thought. Recently, I discovered the merriam-webster.com usage “ineluctable”: “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted”. The-ineluctable-truth seems an accurate& precise expression.

Recently, I studied Google ngrams and learned that “ineluctable” is 1571 translation of foreign-language; it has been around in English for 450 years. Then I discovered that “the ineluctable truth” was published in 1906. I ponder:  Why didn’t my 1950s at Staub School expose me to “the-ineluctable-truth” or better?

Only open dialogue by sincere citizens can produce comprehension that improves mutual connection. And by sincerely wanting human life without chaos could scholars have coupled “ineluctable” and “truth” before 1906 or shared “the ineluctable truth” 115 years ago. Perhaps the scholars are seeking a more representative expression --- more accurate& precise.

The-ineluctable-truth exists, and researchers sincerely work for discovery. The-ineluctable-truth does not respond to reason, coercion, force, revelation, politics, legal opinion, doctrine, ethics, rules, or any other human construct. Human-being can research the-objective-truth using ineluctable-evidence, invent new instruments of perception, and thereby approach the-ineluctable-truth. For example, it seems the earth is like a globe.

I’m searching for an expression more representative than “the-ineluctable-truth”. Please share it.

Phil Beaver does not “know.” He trusts in and is committed to the-objective-truth which can only be discovered. Conventional wisdom has truth founded on reason, but it obviously does not work.
