No free pass to Judeo-Christian judges& lawyers

 No free pass to Judeo-Christian judges& lawyers

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

Judeo-Christian judges& lawyers can& may be civic-citizens

I prefer the U.S. constitutional republic to democracy, social democracy, mob rule, communism, socialism, and Judeo-Christianity – just another tyranny over responsible-human-independence (RHI). RHI is the national destiny that is proffered in the preamble to the U.S. Constitution.

Consequently, I suffer no grief over wokism’s modern attack on the long-standing tyranny of Anglo-American tradition in the West. It is promoted primarily by the English Commonwealth of Nations, who may never understand American genes and memes.

On the threshold to my 80th year, I accept that I never was a Baptist, as Mom wanted rather than the civic Protestant Dad wanted. Furthermore it took me 50 years, during the last 40 of which I could have enjoyed acceptance of my faith in the-ineluctable-truth to reform to my person. Without example, facilitation, and encouragement, I instead pressed on to satisfy Dad, Mom, or either of my siblings, depending on the decade.

“Ineluctable” means ‘not to be avoided, changed, or resisted”. Once a human-being accepts that the laws of physics constrain human-choice, there is nothing to avoid, change, or resist. If the ineluctable-evidence is not yet discovered, the person may accept “I don’t know”. There is no mystery, no passion, no intention, no incentive to try to impose hope& comfort in order to force the laws of physics to change, accommodate, or cooperate.

For example, the sex-change industry and its sponsors can feel the accountability that the laws of physics inevitably delivers. They are well advised to accept personal-entrapment-perception and get Bob Newhart counselling: youtube.com/watch?v=Ow0lr63y4Mw. Just stop it: now.

The U.S. has arrived at constitutional chaos because Congress granted itself freedom-of-religion by which to tyrannize fellow-citizens. Justices on the Supreme Court have preserved that Anglo-American tradition since March 1789 when an 11-state Congress was seated.

The civic entity We the People of the United States can& may amend the First Amendment, in order to promote civic-integrity rather than Congressional-religion. The Supreme Court justices can practice, facilitate, and encourage the reform starting in May 2022.

Ben Weingarten crying over God-fearing, freedom-loving loses) (theepochtimes.com/chilling-effort-to-destroy-trump-lawyers-epitomizes-americas-war-on-wrongthink_4388006.html)

I perceive no excuse for sympathizing with lawyers ruining fellow-lawyer’s careers and think justices should suffer the same in-fighting. I have a suggestion for Anglo-American precedent:  Just end it and take up the-ineluctable-evidence as basis for court decisions. Ineluctable means, in America, “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted”. Europeans seem to allow evidence-change based on reason/religion.

The entire system regressed from the 1787 U.S. republic with public discipline to the 1791 unconstitutional re-establishment of colonial, Anglo-American law, complete with religious freedom to Congress at the expense of the civic entity “We the People of the United States”. “Civic” refers to reliability in human connections and transactions rather than civil precedent.

Weingarten’s words choices reek with John Locke impositions: liberty& justice rather than necessity& justice; “God-fearing, freedom-loving patriots” instead of responsibility-bearing integrity-appreciating civic-citizens.

As the advisor says, consider reform before mounting offense against fellow-citizens who demand relief from long-standing, orthodox-oppression.

I wrote to President Trump for 5 years urging reform from the First Amendment’s unconstitutional provision of freedom of religion to Congress. I urged support for civic-integrity “to ourselves and our Posterity”. My next presidential-primary vote will go to the candidate who proposes this reform.

I expect Pence taught Trump a lesson: the U.S. commander-in-chief cannot rely on a man who claims to witness for Jesus. No man should nourish such arrogance. No man can witness for Jesus. I doubt it, but would not be astonished to learn that Jesus authored the 5,500 year-old political philosophy that is expressed in Genesis 1:28. The philosophy -- human-being independently responsible for peace on earth -- came from Sumer; before Abraham was born.

Let’s develop necessity& justice based on the-ineluctable-evidence and re-assign legal-precedent lawyers& judges to private-sector jobs and pay.

Being religious or not is no excuse for un-civic behavior. "Civic" refers to reliable connections& transactions between fellow-citizens.

We, the 2022 "ourselves and our Posterity" can& may consider this principle and practice, facilitate, and encourage civic-integrity in the coming elections. Beginning today, we can& may let candidates know that if they perceive their religion/none holds them above civic-integrity, We the People of the United States will not allow them to hold office.

Fellow citizens who are government officials can& may practice civic-integrity.

Most of all, the future "ourselves and our Posterity" can& may amend the First Amendment so as to proffer civic-integrity to the people rather than freedom-of-religion to Congress.

Citizens who don't know "ourselves and our Posterity" ought not vote, in order to resist voting against themselves and their children, grandchildren, and beyond. Government officials who don't know We the People of the United States can& may be unelected or fired.

Here's my objection to Dr. Jeremiah's advice: assign your daily duty to the mystery -- the-God.

Genesis 1:28 instructs female& male-human-being to independently provide order& prosperity to the lesser species and to the earth. This political philosophy came from Sumer, where the kings taught that the Gods control the heavens and cannot perform on earth so rely on human-being. (Jesus affirms Genesis 1:26-28, for example, in Matthew 19:4-5 and John 10:34.)

Two thousand years later, Hebrew scholars presented the Sumer philosophy in their language and in Genesis 2 changed from God of creation to "the Lord God" and started a competitive political philosophy. Other tribes developed their competitive philosophies. Other tribes developed their competitive philosophies. Drastic oppositions to the descendants of Issaac developed among the descendants of Ishamel. Among them are the competitors for Islam.


One thousand years later, Gentiles presented the Hebrew story with Jesus the Messiah, Son of God, and element of the Trinity. Christianity entered the competition and by 400 AD there were Eastern, Oriental, and Western Orthodoxies. After Luther Protestant Orthodoxy proliferated, and today, there are 45,000 Protestant sects.

Another 2000 years later, Dr. Jeremiah's urge for us to ask a competing mystery each day to tell us what to do, when 5,500 years ago that same mystery made it plain each human is in charge of constraining chaos in their way of living and providing peace in their human connections and transactions seems futile if not arrogant toward whatever controls the consequences of personal choices.

(Not knowing the-ineluctable-truth, I don't try to address the question: Is chaos the control? I just don't think it is.)

The movie reader may ask: why don't Duvall's noble words inspire practice, facilitation, and encouragement to the-good?

I think love fails:  Appreciation inspires the-good& love.

Education Departments and teachers' unions can& may reform so as to inculcate in each child appreciation for their human lifetime so informed& earnest that most will happily take responsibility to develop their unique person rather than submit to what an entrepreneur has in mind for them. (For example, lifetime subservience to "gender-change".)

Civic-citizens can& may stop accommodating the expansion of government-power while praying to the-God to end the misery and loss only fellow-citizens can stop. That is, the-God will not usurp human-responsibility.

Only voters can limit government-employment to civic-citizens who practice, facilitate, and encourage responsible-human-independence.

Comment:

Chris, your thumb-up motivated me to speculate about what the-God is, hoping to listen-to& learn-from readers.

All, please read to write a response to 10 suggestions that follow. For interest, consider that the Biden administration is powering the politics to convert boys into girls and vice versa, enslaving for life both subjects-to the gender-transition-industry and you& posterity to the-bill-payments.

First, I don't know the-ineluctable-truth, so can only express opinion. (Ineluctable means not to be avoided, changed, or resisted and modifies "truth" with precision, accuracy, and depth.) My opinion is informed by some of the past reports -- about Sumerian culture, Hebrew scholars, Greek writers like Plato, Catholic canon, Christian canon, papal bulls, slavery-abolition writers, American independence writers, Thomas Paine, George Washington, U.S. constitution framers& signers, Thomas Jefferson, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Southern writers like Faulkner and O'Connor, European classical-liberal writers like Locke and Hume, and most of all by the great political philosopher, Albert Einstein. I apply their suggestions to opportunities to increase my opinion by listening to transparently-sharing fellow-citizens (transparency is a Christopher Nalepa favorite). My purpose is to establish the topic and an opinion then listen.

Not all fellow citizens are transparent. Some protect a dependency. Approaching my 80th year, I realize that my dependency has always been trust-in and commitment-to the-ineluctable-truth, unknown as it may be about something and as inarticulate as I may be. As best I can guess, the-ineluctable-truth is expressed& discovered in the laws of physics. That suggests that physics is the-God. And it would not upset me if that were the-God’s opinion, despite mine. I think there is an entity that controls the consequences of individual human-being choice and action: and don’t know what it is.

Physics& its-progeny, such as mathematics and biology, control everything, including imagination and fiction (by default). Thus, like most humans I know, I am dependent. Yet I own an awareness to which I work to conform: physics& progeny. Physics does not answer to reason, revelation, emotions, passion, science, justice, or any other human activity. Human action can change circumstances by which the laws of physics operate but cannot control consequences. For example, the world cannot control the consequences of the ongoing invasion of Ukraine. I can be upset by wellness challenges (physical or psychological illness) but am better of working to improve self-interest and the attendant benefits to my society.

Necessity& justice demand female& male-human-being to provide peace on earth. We may ask, is human necessity& justice the-God? However, there is little to be gained from changing "necessity& justice" to "the-God". In fact, there is much to lose: "the-God" can be used to persuade citizens to attempt to avoid responsible-human-independence (RHI) by bemusing them with hope that the-God will usurp their individual role in pursuing peace on earth. There's ineluctable-evidence that RHI need-not& cannot be avoided. For example, the parent who neglects their child invites losing the child. The neglectful nation may lose its citizens. This could suggest that negligence is the-God.

We can examine necessity separately from justice. Under positive human response, necessity is caused by physics. For example, female& male mate and the consequence may be a new potential human-being. It takes a quarter-century for an encouraged human-infant to acquire the comprehension& intention to develop their unique human-being. Few young-adults emerge with self-interested comprehension& intention to the-good. However, each human-being has the opportunity, the power, the energy, and the authority to choose either civic-integrity or infidelity. Here, “civic” means mutually reliable human connections and transactions. Each person can& may choose fidelity. This suggests that choice is the-God.

Young adults accept that they can& may develop RHI. However, popular adult-practices the young may observe facilitate& encourage negative dependencies: indolence, religion, crime, tyranny, evil, and worse. The youth observe that these dependencies are nourished by power& money. Often, adults forfeit power& money for sex. The Biden administration promotes sex to elementary students. The youth perceive that the 2022 consequence is chaos that is diverging. Their only hope is to develop RHI anyway. What can motivate them to civic-integrity despite the chaos? It seems obvious that sex is not the-God. Yet we are constrained to ask: why do some people bend over backward for sex?

Social democrats intend to make RHI impossible. Their strategy is to make government so large that no one can resist. For example, they intend to enslave many children in a lifetime irreversibly dedicated to the sex-change industry. Such industries are not capitalism, because the sex-change service is not wanted by a RHI-culture. Capitalism operates on reliable entrepreneurs providing needed& wanted products and services to aware individuals. Communism defines& controls products and services with no regard to the people.

Conservatism preserves economic viability to the human species. For example, necessity& justice demand that a person earn their food& shelter and safety& security. Civic citizens earn what they individually need plus taxes by which to provide the infrastructure for safety& security. That includes support for citizens who would-but-cannot provide their needs. Preserving this economic system is fiscal conservatism. Economics is a progeny of physics, perhaps of the-God; maybe physics invites reform to polytheism. Just as a 2 party system vies for power, polytheism keeps religious institutions from using “God” to distract from “the-God”. That is, when the regime claims God, the people are quick to ask: what God? Maybe by default “God” is the-God. I don’t think so.

Politicians have known for millennia that a religious people can& may be-persuaded to-beg their God to usurp RHI, leaving them vulnerable to tyranny. The British honed the involvement of church in government, constitutionally requiring 26 bishop-seats in the House of Lords. Unfortunately, the American Bar Association reveres "Anglo-American law" and justices use it to tyrannize fellow-U.S.-citizens. American citizens accommodate the tyranny. Individuals invite tyranny when they can-but-don't pursue the necessity& justice of RHI. Thus, religious conservatism exacerbates 2022's divergent chaos.

What motivates citizens to accommodate tyranny? I think two negatives influence dependence. First, no culture practices, facilitates, and encourages RHI to their youth and to adults unto maturity (to “ourselves and our Posterity”; I quoted the preamble to the U.S. Constitution). Second, a human life is too brief for most individuals to overcome the civil practices in their locale, in order to discover and adopt the civic-integrity that is required to pursue the-good. Civic-citizens can& may listen to each other and responsibly pursue the happiness each chooses rather than submit to tyranny. Civic-citizens encounter justice only as providers, witnesses, and jury-service: necessities. When 2/3 of citizens are participating a better future will be possible. This suggests civic-integrity is the-God.

Inculcating RHI is not a new proposal. The Sumer civilization, 5,500 years ago suggested that Enka, their creation-God, assigned responsibility for peace-on-earth to homo sapiens. Sumer kings, for 6,000 years, administered necessity& justice in their locale, leaving the sky-mystery to the Gods to manage. The most complete extant Sumer code is the Code of Hammurabi. The Sumerians were discovering the laws of physics& progeny when ignorance that briny-irrigation concentrates salt and ruins soil. The Sumer demise affirms that physics is the-God.

TO BE CONTINUED

CONTINUATION

Only 4,000 years ago, monotheism dominated speculation about the-God, and cultures vied to claim the-chosen-people under tribal-Gods. A recent article refers to 3 orthodox religions: Christianity, Catholicism, and Judaism! It is so easy for social democracy to defeat divided cultures! Not to mention that it makes no difference to a civic-citizen if his neighbor is a Muslim, a Sumer descendant, an orthodox-tewahedo-Ethiopian, a person with faith in no God, a philosopher, or simply an agent to necessity& justice. The tribal beliefs preserve division. This suggests that belief is the-God. But it’s a God of chaos rather than order.

The “Western” competition for dominant personal-God persisted through 1776. Then, formerly loyal British colonists on the American eastern-seaboard declared that “Nature’s God” would defeat the English-Trinity, Catholic or Christian as it may be. They were fully aware that France did not want England to control N. America. Indeed France gave the providence required to invoke the supreme justice of the world at Yorktown, VA, in 1781. This suggests that military-power is the-God.

The 13 free& independent states specified in the 1783 Treaty of Paris could not develop RHI, so 12 of them met to strengthen the union-of-states, the USA. Framers developed the world’s first republic predicated on public discipline or RHI. Just 5 days before the signing, the Committee of Style listed the disciplines: integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity, in order to practice, facilitate, and encourage RHI to “ourselves and our Posterity”. Only 39 of 55 framers signed the 1787 draft U.S. Constitution. States ratification-conventions caused commitment that the first Congress would amend the draft. Thus, the framing of U.S. institutions passed from independent thinkers to politicians. The 1789 USA lessened by re-establishing some Anglo-American tradition.

France took themselves out of RHI-grace with the “Bloody Revolution” of 1789. License to liberty replaced independence. And in 1789, U.S. Anglo-traditionalists who had neither the means nor the intentions to return to England sidelined RHI by restoring British tradition in the 1791 Bill of Rights. This suggests that politics is the-God.

The art called “religion” persuades individuals to choose dependency. People pray for their religion to relieve burdens. Politicians partner with clergy who construct& maintain a persuasive mystery that bemuses people from the self-interest of RHI. The mystery of soul is an excellent tyranny. The prospect of eternal damnation, or reincarnation as a lesser species, or perhaps another mysterious punishment-scheme instills fear that can dissuade an individual from fidelity to self, spouse, family, and fellow-citizens. This suggests that fear is the-God, not a new idea.

The politician-clergy partnership misuses the innate human-tendency to take responsibility. Parental guidance to walk, to talk, to think, and to act is necessary to facilitate and encourage offspring to take responsibility for their person. The process can indoctrinate the unaware-person to dependency for life. If the fallacy, you-have-personal-responsibility-for-your-mysterious-soul, can be inculcated in the child, it may persist until death. Each child has the opportunity, power, energy, and authority to accept that they were not involved in origination of soul and therefore are ineffective respecting its destiny. A responsible human-being can& may leave the mystery of soul to its origins, in order to take responsibility for their unique person. This suggests that responsibility is the-God.

Returning to the-ineluctable-truth, my list is by no means complete. From physics to responsibility, I listed 10 “the-God” suggestions and excluded sex. I hope sharing my opinion will inspire someone to comment so that I can& may be informed to improve my civic-integrity. I accept that something controls the consequences of individual choice& action. By all means, we can& may be humble to the-God, whatever that entity may be.

Comment:

I continually discover why Jesus strongly influences some civic-citizens of the world: appreciation. Despite all that has been written about him, Jesus’s practice, facilitation, and encouragement-to the-good represents the innate human-condition if the individual nourishes their person unto maturity. Personal-perfection is possible yet unlikely without practice, facilitation, and encouragement.

That is to say, when a newborn baby’s 2 parents and 4 grandparents exemplify, facilitate, and encourage the-good, the baby can& may accept their unique opportunity, power, energy, and authority to develop civic-integrity unto responsible-human-independence (RHI). If so, they may, before dying, approach their perfected person. Perhaps the person chooses RHI because they appreciate living.

I first encountered concretely-suggested human-perfectibility-before-death in Ralph Waldo Emerson’s “Divinity School Address” (1838). The Bible’s Peter& Paul suggested that resurrection to heaven was personal-perfection. Emerson saw Jesus as a man with unique appreciation of human being.

Born to my Eastern-Star-mother and 32nd-degree-Mason-father, who were competing Southern Baptists and good providers, I keep an open mind to Jesus’ messages that seem affirmed by experiences and observations.

When I read Agathon’s speech in Plato’s “Symposium”, I saw the possibility that Jesus might introduce himself to individuals according to the claim “Before Abraham was born I am”. I perceived Agathon expressed transcendent-appreciation more than passion (eros. I am not aware of another “Agathon-reflection-of-Jesus” and wonder if Greek thought made its way into Bible text (ostensibly the word of the-God).

Recently, I discovered that Genesis 1:28 expresses Sumerian political philosophy in Hebrew terms. Enki, the creation-God, aids other Sumer-Gods who together tend to the heavens only. The-Sumer-Gods rely on human-being responsibility for order& prosperity (peace) on earth. The-Gods cannot usurp human duty. Matthew reports that Jesus affirms Genesis 1:26-28 in Matthew 19:3-4.

Some say “God is love”: perhaps Jesus is appreciation. It seems to me appreciation is sufficient to inspire civic-integrity and love is often inappropriate. I don’t know the-ineluctable-truth.

The Sumer kings from 10,000 years ago until 4,000 years ago, at amazing pace, discovered the laws of physics that empowered them to limit chaos in their lives – invented the wheel, irrigation, fortified cities,  reed-mansions, swamp-mats, and much more. They lived among warring cultures. See skeptikai.com/what-happened-to-the-sumerians/, “the Mesopotamians believed that Gods had already done their work and put the earth in motion. Humans were merely co-workers who were there to maintain order and hold chaos at bay”. Individual humans could& might cause chaos --- and suffer consequential law-enforcement: eye for an eye and such.

Monotheism emerged, and cultures constructed doctrinal-Gods to favor their particular tribe. Conquered, Sumer dispersed. Descendants have dark hair and many eye colors and some may still be in southern Iraq, practicing ancient livelihoods and crafts.

Regardless of Jesus’ status – man, Son of God, or God -- advocates who transparently pursue Jesus practical ideas can& may benefit. For example, it seems untenable for a man who joined to his wife to divorce her; appreciating this principle could lessen divorce rates. Entreating Jesus to usurp individual-human-responsibility for peace on earth seems unappreciative if not arrogant. Each person may accept and share “my peace I give you”.

Sumer left the suggestion that human-being is responsible to limit chaos -- to provide peace on earth. Monotheism repressed the peace mandate, constructing doctrinal-Gods to be persuaded to usurp the human-responsibility to limit chaos. One tribe’s God would destroy other tribes. Political policies can be judged on whether they lessen chaos and increase peace on earth.

The Agathon story proffers evidence that at least one Buddhist philosophy is grounded in the laws of physics. The Buddhist seeks a mature teacher to help discover& establish RHI (responsible-human-independence) by the student for the future. Once the student consistently practices RHI to the present, they emerge a teacher to the future. Time marches on, presenting new challenges rather than “killing” lessons from the past. Similarly, Jesus’ message, be perfect, lives on as evolution progresses.

The 1787 U.S. Constitution proffers a republic with public disciplines: integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity, assigning personal inspiration& motivation to privacy. However, the 1791 amendment imposes religious doctrine in hopes the-God will usurp the-people’s duties. The practical consequence is 3 American orthodoxies: Christianity, Catholicism, and Judaism and the erroneous claim to Manifest Destiny. With the 1791 religious-freedom to Congress plus the consequentially unrepresented fellow-citizens such as Muslims, Buddhists, Taoists, so called “atheists”, and bountiful others, the USA is already divided for the enemy to conquer. Yet the 2022 or future We the People of the United States can& may reform.

For example, removing Congressional religious constraints, in order to unleash Jesus’ human-appreciation& peace, can& may provide an achievable better-future in the USA and beyond. Jesus’ appreciation of the-good can& may-be neither constrained by tradition nor denied to civic-citizens. It seems “ourselves and our Posterity” can& may choose the-good to prevail.

Nearing my 80th year, I've been asking myself (reading, writing, speaking, and LISTENING to discover an answer): with such wonderful people and 1787 draft constitution, how can Americans be divided?

Christian sects rather than Jesus/God divides Americans. Why reform division? Use it to develop power.

There are 45,000 Christian sects in the world. No need to divide: just take over and let them pray for relief. Jesus, come into my heart; cleanse me; make me whole.

All the while, Jesus affirms Genesis 1:28. Observing on what humankind has observed in 5,500 years, the idea is: female& male-human-being can& may establish peace on earth. See Matthew 19:4-5 and John 20:21, appreciating responsible-human-independence and peace, respectively.

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.

A civic-people can& may independently provide peace on earth

 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

A civic-people can& may independently provide peace on earth

This was my personal best-Easter.

Nearing my 80th year, I think and assert that human-being can benefit far more from the practical Jesus than from either the metaphysical Jesus, the Messiah, the Son-of-God, God, or the-God. What I assert could be wrong and by all means must yield to what Jesus thinks about Jesus.

That said, the best I can do in self-interest is transparently discuss ideas attributed to Jesus and add civic-citizens experiences& observations to mine. By civic-citizens I mean those who practice, facilitate, and encourage public safety& security, in order to promote responsible pursuit of happiness as the individual perceives it rather than to accept someone else’s dictates. I read, write, speak, and LISTEN, always declaring that I do not know the-ineluctable-truth. “Ineluctable” means ‘not to be avoided, changed, or resisted”.

For example, Jesus read Genesis 1& 2 and said in Matthew 19, “at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female’. [Therefore] a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh”. That’s united “to” rather than “with”. Civic-citizens can practice, facilitate, and encourage this Jesus-suggestion and lessen divorce rates.

People who accept the mystery of soul and have faith that Jesus is their savior need not doubt any fellow-citizens faith, including the atheists’ faith. That is, believers don't have a monopoly on faith. Believers can accept salvation for their afterdeath and also appreciate Jesus’s suggestions for living. People who believe their soul will enjoy heaven can also share Jesus’s message: each person can& may offer peace on earth.

To explore these ideas further, consider the factual reality. Homo sapiens emerged about 300,000 years ago. Polytheism came into question about 10,000 years ago. The Sumer culture produced codes of law predicated on human-being taking responsibility for peace on earth. Monotheisms started competing about 4,000 years ago. The Hebrew God appeared about 3,000 years ago. Christianity started competing about 2,000 years ago. 

Western culture, during the past 2000 years, has debated books, up to 87 of them, that do not considered discoveries outside the 1000 years. That is, discoveries before 3,000 years ago and after 2,000 years ago. Civic-citizens can& may benefit from more factual reality about the-ineluctable-truth.

Civic-citizens can& may practice, facilitate, and encourage peace on earth.

Irreversibly enslaving children (Wesley J. Smith) (theepochtimes.com/biden-administrations-policies-push-puberty-blocking-transition-surgeries-for-transgender-children_4390533.html)

Smith factually informs readers.

I speculate that the transgender movement against children is only a detail in social democracy's strategy -- a part of the attempt to overthrow responsible-human-independence. Yet gender-change is more sinister than building national debt. An individual's commitment to gender-change is irreversible, voluntary-enslavement to the gender-change industrial complex. A new administration can reverse the policy but cannot undo gender-damage.

quora.com/How-does-one-leverage-financially-their-unique-weird-and-authentic-self? by Devin S

Mr. S, I express gratitude for your brilliance, again, in “appreciations” at promotethepreamble.blogspot.com, today.

      You ask: how does a human-being leverage their self? You reduce leverage to physical viability. You identify success as authenticity. And you eliminate standards by appreciating the unique, weird individual.

      Of course, I can only respond based on experience& observations, limited as mine are. For example, I cannot imagine Donald Trump’s view of personal authenticity.

      I have 3 suggestions.

First, throughout life, comprehend representative experiences you’d like to either avoid or own. For example, one can& may attempt to fly like a bird or can& may choose the opposite gender. On the other hand, most people can& may learn to ride a skateboard.

      Second, develop& nourish awareness of authentic persons from the past. For example, Albert Einstein said a prudent person does not lie, in order to lessen human misery& loss. Socrates died to defend the rule of law, even when the jury delivers injustice. Ralph Waldo Emerson appreciated civic-citizens – past, present, and future. Abraham Lincoln spoke for political effect, for example, erroneously asserting that governance of, for, and by the-people existed. Jesus suggested that one can perfect their person before death. A Sumerian philosopher suggested that female& male-human-being have the authority& duty to provide peace on earth.

      Third, self-reliantly practice, facilitate, and encourage the civic integrity that is required to establish& nourish responsible-human-independence during every moment. By “civic integrity” I mean fidelity to every human connection or transaction.

      I read and write to learn and appreciate comments.

Chris, as always, your transparency invites compliment. This is perhaps my best Easter, but I hope for even better.

Some people know that I think opinion about the Holy Bible constrains the practical Jesus we humans share when we express our heartfelt concerns& fears with open minds and open hearts. The Bible presents a Hebrew Jesus (from Abraham's house of David) that ignores the Sumerian suggestion expressed in Genesis 1:28: the-God retains control of the unknowns and will not usurp female& male human-being's independent responsibility to order& provide prosperity to the lesser species and to the earth.

I think this was Jesus's message, if he said "Before Abraham was born I am." Also, "be perfect". Also, "peace be with you". Also, aid the U.S. commander-in-chief ("render unto Caesar"). Also, doesn't your doctrine teach you are gods (facing death)?

The most subtle silencing of Jesus comes from the Trinity construct. Why impose Father and Holy Spirit to compete with the powerful aid Jesus offers?

Catholic charities pick U.S.-citizens’ pockets

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

Catholic charities pick U.S.-citizens’ pockets

The protagonist in Chapter XI Machiavellianism (1513) is the Catholic Church.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott sent willing illegal immigrants from Texas to Washington D.C., and Catholic charities received the illegals.

How long will civic-citizens continue to accommodate Catholic-Church tyranny in the USA?

A prudent Chris Wallace will retire to avoid further shame. See nbcnews.com/politics/elections/rnc-votes-withdraw-commission-presidential-debates-rcna24443. But then, who could expect a reporter to be prudent: there are no professionals in U.S. journalism and therefore no standards. Only the responsible-human-independent (RHI) can aspire to journalism.

theepochtimes.com/first-texas-bus-drops-off-illegal-immigrants-near-us-capitol_4401715.html?

Nicolo Machiavelli, in “The Prince”, 1513, Chapter XI, wrote that anyone who would imagine stopping Catholic charities from picking the civic-people’s pockets with immunity is a fool.

As a dreamer, he wrote on in case anyone insisted: the evidence shows that the pope has developed such popularity and military power that none of the princes can compete.

Of course, I’m speculating, but it seems to me world-wide Catholic charities fund payments to coyote’s who risk desperate people’s lives to reach and enter America before Joe Biden is removed from office. Catholic charities take over the un-civic work once an illegal alien reaches American soil.

Meanwhile, Protestants representing 45,000 sects pray to their diverse Gods to grant them a better future. The-God makes it plain that only human-being can constrain the chaos the USA accommodates.

There is a better way. Christians may both happily look forward to salvation of their mysterious souls in their afterdeath, and accept the Genesis 1:28 duty of order& prosperity during life. Genesis 1 came from the Sumerians, 5,500 years ago. We non-Christians would appreciate Genesis-1 civic-integrity Jesus endorsed.

Quora

quora.com/How-and-why-does-power-corrupt? by Jacob Svendsen

“Power” means “ability to act”; politically, “possession of control, authority, or influence over others”.

Homo sapiens acts on necessity& justice to constrain the consequences of physics& and it progeny, or everything. However, not every human constrains their way of living. Some pursue a dependency, such as indolence, crime, tyranny, evil, and worse; rather than responsible-human-independence (RHI).

Consequently, the civic people earn enough to support their responsible pursuit of the happiness they perceive plus necessary-taxes to secure safety: integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity. They hope statutory justice motivates dependent fellow-citizens to reform to RHI. Thereby, civic-citizens limit chaos on earth.

So far, no civilization has inculcated these principles in their youth. Most individuals pursue a higher power – their government or their God -- rather than develop the civic-integrity that is required to practice, facilitate, and encourage RHI. Similarly, as civilizations evolved, nations developed war powers rather than RHI. No one proposes RHI to human-kind. Consequently, the world is in chaos.

With at least 2 of 3 citizens practicing RHI, civic-citizens can& may require government officials to discover& deliver the-ineluctable-truth. “Ineluctable” means “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted”. Politicians hide “ineluctable”. The word was translated from an older language in 1571 and combined with “truth” in 1906.

Few citizens employ the precision, accuracy, and depth of the-ineluctable-truth. Most individuals settle for truth. Politicians fear their loss of power if 2/3 of citizens stop accommodating truth.

Fellow-citizens who fear RHI empower corruption.

Mr. Svendsen, I express gratitude for your question today, in “appreciations” at promotethepreamble.blogspot.com.

quora.com/unanswered/Have-parts-of-history-been-rewritten-since-collectivism-has-been-invented? by Marc Bloemers

I wonder, Mr. Bloemers, what you are fishing for. What history? What rewriting? What collectivism?

From 10,000 to 4,000 years ago, polytheism dominated political philosophy. Sumer narrowed the field from thousands of Gods to a few, including Enka, the-creation-God. Their political philosophy was that the Gods could not provide order& prosperity on earth, so female& male human-being must independently constrain chaos; note that’s constrain, not terminate.

Accepting responsible-human-independence (RHI), they invented the wheel, cuneiform as first writing, irrigation, fortified cities, and many other wonders; until ignorance about soil salinization through briny-irrigation domed their success. Four classes of citizens cooperated or lost eye for eye, life for life.

Monotheisms kicked in, each culture constructing their-God to defeat the enemy’s God in war. Cultures held abject, mutual arrogance toward the-God. That is to say, arrogance toward whatever entity controls the consequences of human-being choice& action. The collective monotheisms repressed local polytheisms and produced global replacement under the label “God” when the precise, accurate, and deep expression is “the-God”. Chaos increased exponentially.

Four thousand years later, there are over 45,000 Protestant Christian sects among thousands of monotheisms. For many Christians, God is a Trinity. Increased-chaos is divergent in 2022. Constraining chaos is not on anyone’s agenda, despite Genesis 1:28.

Sumer practiced slavery, and monotheism advanced its brutality. Necessity& justice demanded that the U.S., specified in 1787, terminate Christian enslavement “authorized” in fifteenth-century papal bulls.

However, collective Protestant churches influenced 1788 ratification under the commitment to restore English tradition. In 1791, Congress unconstitutionally granted itself freedom of religion and used it to promote factional-American Protestantism. R.E. Lee’s December, 1856 letter to his wife discloses that abolitionists are evil for attempting to accelerate God’s plan to redeem blacks from the sins of their fathers. Christianity’s culpability for both American slavery and the Civil War is collectively repressed.

The collective Union-states then outnumbered the slave-states and accepted the Civil War when erroneous Christian zealots fired on Fort Sumter. More erroneous white Christians killed erroneous white Christians and came face to face with failure to accept& practice RHI. In proportion to today’s population, 8 million Americans died.

Liberation theology and Alinsky-Marxist organization combined in the 1960s to sponsor an extreme political reaction to the “non-violent” burning of U.S. neighborhoods if not cities. The consequence is divergence of the Christian chaos that was underway.

The collective that can terminate this madness is the civic-citizens. They are the U.S. citizens who cherish RHI and therefore earn their way of living plus the taxes needed to preserve hope for the 1787 U.S. intentions: integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity.

I dream that the civic-citizens will prevail (and work for it). It will become possible when the U.S. collective happily expects salvation of their soul-mystery, whatever its source may be, and serenely& confidently attends to constraining chaos in their way of living.

The reform that is needed is to change every Education Department so that its intention is not “to train the workers we need” (Obama) but to practice, facilitate, and encourage each person’s transition from feral infant to young adult who acquired the comprehension and intention to responsibly develop a unique human-being: their person.

Did I touch the history, rewriting, or collectivism you had in mind? I’m sincere.

geniuslevel.quora.com/Can-an-idea-change-the-world? by Bill Smith

Yes, an idea can change the world. It seems humankind is in transition to a new stage of homo sapiens evolution, now about 300,000 years into its path. Necessity& justice recall ancient-attention to civic-integrity rather than religious-pride. The human quest is safety& security for appreciative-happiness.

The question is:  What controls the consequences of individual human choices& actions? The renewed answers seem divided between discovery& dwindling-unknowns.

A prudent adult-presence is: I don’t know the-ineluctable-truth, when that is so. “Ineluctable” means “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted”. That’s a new word for most readers, so give it some time& attention. It appeared in translation in 1571, perhaps involved in debate over “inescapable”. “Ineluctable truth” was published in 1906. I use hyphens to invite the reader not to separate the article “the”, which makes the phrase “the-ineluctable-truth’ precise, accurate, and deep to discoverable factual-reality.

In cultural evolution, first, homo sapiens had only mutual perception& reason with no discovery. As the earth rotated on its axis, they perceived the sun rose on one side, traversed the heavens, and hid on the opposite side. They could not imagine let-alone speculate that the sun is 93 million miles away and the earth’s surface speed is 1,000 miles per hour. The sun was one of the Gods and a killer of men. Some cultures attempted to appease the-God by sacrificing humans. The lesser light was more accommodating. Developing cultures attributed every physical phenomenon to a God.

Second, humankind divided by location& heritage/tradition into warring tribes. Cultures reasoned that Gods control human psychology and developed systems of Gods with hierarchy depending on human function – projecting human characteristics onto the Gods. Tribes constructed Gods of war expected to defeat another tribe’s Gods.

Agathon, in Plato’s “Symposium” held that Eros was the strongest of the Gods. Eros neither initiated nor accommodated harm to or from any God or person. Consequently, people and Gods appreciate Eros. The laws of physics, like rotation of Earth around the sun, were arbitrarily separated from human reason as natural law. Discoveries were categorized as physics versus reason; science versus ethics; law versus virtue.

Third, one civilization, Sumer, limited polytheism to less than 10 Gods. The Gods operated in another world and could not manage the consequences of human choice. Therefore, female& male human-being must do the work to bring order& prosperity to the lesser species and to the earth. In other words, civic-citizens must constrain chaos on earth.

Experience& observation made it plain that some humans preferred a dependency: indolence, crime, tyranny, evil, and worse. Therefore, the Sumerian political philosophy included legal codes: an eye for eye, life for life. During the period 10,000 to 4,000 years ago, Sumerian kings led 4 classes of fellow-citizens to invent the wheel, cuneiform-writing, irrigation, fortified cities, the law codes, and other wonders. They were doomed, not knowing that irrigation with salty water would concentrate salt in the soil. Failure to master physics was their downfall. Descendants, mostly Arab, dispersed to survive.

Perhaps the Marsh Arabs of southern Iraq are descendants. They have black hair, light skin, and multi-colored eyes. They work to constrain chaos in their way of living despite disfavor in Iraq. Most are Shiite Muslims.

Fourth, many cultures sprang from Sumer and its local adversaries. Most of them developed monotheism, separating the laws of physics from natural human virtues and responsibilities. The monotheisms bemused legislative necessity& justice with mysterious religious virtue. For example, John Locke held that human-being is the the-God’s property, and therefore cannot be denied life or liberty, even voluntarily – can be governed only by consent. In another example, Sharia law is civil& religious.

Fifth, humankind seems to be transitioning into acceptance that survival is at stake. It may be alright to hope a personal-God will provide for children, grandchildren, and their descendants. However, it seems evident that that the-God will not usurp the human-being responsibility to provide safety& security on earth. Mature adults can& may attend to their own debts.

With safety& security, civic-citizens can& may pursue the happiness each perceives, rather than submit to the vision someone else has for them. Neither the-God nor government can prevent the human quest for peace.

In 2022, divergent-chaos holds the quest for peace in question.

quora.com/Why-do-some-people-believe-that-the-arts-can-contaminate-a-persons-ethics-Is-this-purely-a-political-way-of-thinking-or-what-are-other-motivating-factors? by Graham C Lindsay

This seems a semantics problem grounded in diversity regarding both “art” and “ethics”.

First, “art” is creative expression of the-ineluctable-truth. “Ineluctable” means “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted”. If an expression does not reflect the-ineluctable-truth, unknown as it may be, it is sensationalism rather than art. For example, humans can& ought-not claim to know the-God.

Truth is the factual reality about something. Human-being has not discovered the evidence by which to identify facts, reality, or something regarding the-God. In humility, one human-being claims to not know the-God, and in civic-humor, the other claims to comprehend& understand.

Second, “ethics” is a relative term that may refer to a club’s rules of conduct& membership or to more fundamental purpose such as humankind’s survival. Safety& security can only be assessed by physics and its progeny --- mathematics, chemistry, biology, psychology, imagination, fiction, indeed everything.

The human being can& may employ imagination to create falsehoods when the-ineluctable-truth is unknown. The falsehood can prevail until the-ineluctable-evidence that negates the lie is discovered. For example, the sun, once thought to be the-God is comprehended as a thermo-nuclear reactor. Human sacrifice to appease the sun is no longer accepted.

That rascal John Locke (d, 1704) claimed that a person is a property of the God and as such can only be governed by consent. To this day, politicians proffer Lockean boasts to warrant life, liberty, and property while they pick the people’s pockets with consent of the majority. The U.S. ruins Lockean democracy with a constitutional republic that replaced “property” with “the pursuit of happiness”. Locke expressed religious opinion because he did not pursue the-ineluctable-truth.

Two nights past, for the first time, she did not move her silent eyes from Jimmy-Fallon-TV to me even once as I typically sang "Let me call you sweetheart" before good-night kiss.

Selected theme from this week

Individuals can& may stop trying to constrain the-God

If I was proposing to constrain the-God to my dream, no one would listen. If I were attempting to impose on fellow citizens the belief that Jesus is the-God almost no one would listen. If I claimed the-God does not exist, about 2/3 of inhabitants would not listen.

However, I am attempting to make 2022 the year most people are learning the word “ineluctable”. In America, it means “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted”.

Further, I attempt to modify “truth” with the new word, the article “the” and hyphens: the-ineluctable-truth exists and humankind works to discover it and use it positively. For example, the sun is a natural thermo-nuclear reactor rather than the-God, as some ancient cultures thought.

When an individual does not know the-ineluctable-truth, it is prudent to accept “I don’t know”. It's OK to have an opinion. However, believers take for granted rationalizing the claim to know the-God, for example "by faith". I doubt the-God tolerates constraint to someone's faith. I doubt Jesus accommodates beliefs about him.

It takes humility to accept “I don’t know” when that is so. Humility, necessity, and justice are critical to the human individual who would aid humankind to establish safety& security on earth with the hope of eventual peace.

Black leaders against necessity& justice: theepochtimes.com/citing-racial-discrimination-black-leaders-target-roe-v-wade_4382233.html?

American citizens broadly recognize 5 factual realities. First, necessity& justice constrains the pregnant woman to choose to remain pregnant. Second, the world’s cultures do not inculcate in males& females the civic-integrity to develop responsible sex practices. Third, there are no humans who want to be gestation-law enforcers when the woman prefers to terminate her pregnancy. Fourth, no one can warrant to the fetus the care needed during their first 25 years, in order to acquire the comprehension& intention to develop their human person. Fifth, claiming that a fetus is a person is easy:  But the person’s quarter-century transition to human-being is hard.

Citizens who want to force a pregnant woman to remain pregnant are obligated to take the next step: propose gestation laws and the gestation-enforcement system.

Race and privacy cannot compete with necessity& justice.

Quora

quora.com/What-is-the-one-thing-that-could-bring-back-capitalism? by Liam Eloie

I don’t agree that capitalism has left the world. People need goods and services to live, and entrepreneurs take the risk of innovating to meet those needs. Government interference can& may be lessened.

quora.com/Gender-equality-means-equal-opportunity-equal-responsibility-and-equal-accountability-Do-you-agree? by Mike Hasley

Mr. Hasley, I like your approach: state an opinion and ask for another opinion. Somehow, “gender equality” is substituted for the question that came to me about “equality”. I respond without the gender modifier.

The nouns opportunity, responsibility, and accountability can be manipulated for necessary-truth, so my opinion is: no, I do not agree. On the other hand, every surviving person can discover and choose the-good.

“Necessary-truth” refers to whatever opinion supports the author’s agendum. For example, psychology-officials can earn money by supporting sex-change entrepreneurs. They encourage with immunity innocent youth to dedicate their lives to the industry. Politicians, knowing the government revenues are enhance by created industries support the tyranny over the lives of the youth. As usual, constructed necessary-truth follows the money.

There is available to the public a more accurate, precise, and deep expression: the-ineluctable-truth. “Ineluctable” means to Americans “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted”. Most Europeans provide “change”. It’s just one of the many ways Europeans, especially Brits, cannot comprehend what it means to be an American. If 2022 is the year “ourselves and our Posterity” including legal immigrants start demanding that professionals address the-ineluctable-truth rather than truth, the world can& may begin to observe an achievable better future.

A perspective I choose is the view of the ovum a woman’s body produces: whether or not that unique individual will be inseminated, gestated, delivered,& nourished unto self-comprehension& intention to become a human-being. Chances are probably near 1 in a few million.

If so, they can& may choose to develop the civic-integrity that is essential to responsible-human-independence (RHI). If not, they default-to or choose dependency. The dependencies include indolence, crime, tyranny, evil, and worse. Some dependencies beg personal termination.

Humankind has been informed since the Sumerian civilization, ending 4,000 years ago, that no entity will usurp the individual’s opportunity to constrain chaos in their way of living. Thereby a person aids collective human-being to provide peace on earth. Unfortunately, cultures since Sumer inculcate in their youth the quest for a higher power, in order to discipline their lives. Cultures, unintentionally or not, encourage individuals to choose a dependency.

Elites who comprehend this ploy, develop civic-awareness without RHI and use it to oppress fellow-citizens who gullibly wait for a higher entity to bestow constraints in their personal way of living.

Civic-citizens appreciate and reward fellow-citizens who practice, facilitate, and encourage RHI. For example, civil engineers are appreciated for safe buildings& bridges; shipbuilders for safety at sea, and first-responders for security. However, most government-officials, judges, and the media grant themselves high incomes and low civic appreciation.

The infant who is born unto a couple whose 4 parents practice, facilitate, and encourage the civic-integrity required for RHI is most fortunate yet can& may choose a dependency. Everyone else can& may independently discover& accept RHI.

It seems can& may accept RHI is a common, rarely tolerated, human condition.

What would the-God say about faith in the Bible rather than in the-ineluctable-truth?

The newborn human-individual has the opportunity, the power, the energy, and the authority (HIOPEA) to develop their unique person unto perfection before dying. That is, perfection of their unique-person, which is necessary to aid humankind’s perfection.

Necessity, due to the parents’ mortality, compels them or other care-takers to accept that they can& may practice, facilitate, and encourage civic-integrity during the infant’s first quarter century. If so, the infant can& may take charge of her/his transition to young adult with comprehension& intention to conduct a complete human life. Not all parents live a quarter century after birthing and not all infants survive the first quarter century.  Not all parents, care-takers, and infants accept HIOPEA, and some choose to apply HIOPEA for a dependency. Dependencies include indolence, religion, crime, tyranny, evil, and worse. Dependencies oppose civic-integrity. Justice requires civic-citizens to constrain dependent citizens, in order to prevent social democracy or chaos.

Together, necessity& justice demand the individual to practice, facilitate, and encourage responsible-human-independence (RHI). An individual may develop faith in a God, but neither the-God nor government can usurp the person’s HIOPEA.

No culture inculcates in their youth comprehension& intention to discover and practice the-ineluctable-truth. “Ineluctable” means, to an American, “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted” and to a European “not to be avoided or resisted”.

Yesterday, a person engaged me in conversation. His faith in Bible reasoning motivated resistance to the-ineluctable-truth. Soon, I asserted: that since we don’t know that the-God exists it’s preferable to state our belief and add “Yet I don’t know”. I cautioned that we don’t know if the-God favors the Bible over the-ineluctable-truth and to give a new word, ineluctable, time to mellow& flourish.

Life in the USA may go on as it is – borrowing on Posterity. On the other hand, it could be time for more accurate, deep, and precise consideration so far not invoked by the way societies use “truth”. The-ineluctable-truth exists and it is humankind’s duty to discover it and use it for survival. Developing faith in a God is not a problem and long as no one attempts to constrain the-God.

Neither the-God nor Jesus, if they are different entities, yield to Bible canon or its interpretation.

facebook.com/chris.nalepa.7    Comment, April 4, 2022

In these clips, it seems to me Fauci is saying his equivalent of: our objective understanding is that persons who have had a virus are immune for quite some time. However, we cannot address your demand for the-ineluctable-truth: we do not know the-ineluctable-truth.

Society has been inculcated with "truth", which means "the factual reality about something"--pretty uncertain, it seems. The necessary inclusiveness of "something" deludes the precision, accuracy, and depth of "truth". The delusion empowers cunning people to distort the truth.

Unfortunately, "journalism schools" teach cunning rather than reliability. Student reporters practice the art of asking a question and reporting the answer to enhance the reporter's chance for promotion and salary increase; that is, to assist the boss's agendum.

If civic-citizens learn "ineluctable", which means "not to be avoided, changed, or resisted", we will become alert to its use in political literature. Further, if they come to think, as I do, that Europeans use the term without the "unchangeable" quality, they will have better understanding of U.S. intentions: responsible-human-independence.

Further, if we learn to demand the-ineluctable-truth, officials like Dr. Fauci will be empowered with an accuracy, depth, and precision heretofore unavailable: the-ineluctable-truth. They can even combine it with your slant, Chris: Fauci could answer, "To be transparent, I don't know the-ineluctable-truth about how long natural immunity prevails" or better.

Let 2022 be the year the civic-people of the US began to demand the-ineluctable-truth, lessening if not defeating transparent un-truth.

Chris, thank you. The last line is maybe a pun: "No one ever knew the world would spin so fast. I didn't."

Whether "spend" or "spin" I didn't either.

Life started when I met Cynthia. I want it to last another 54 years and will settle for what comes. That's the "spend" possibility.

Also, the earth-surface is spinning at 1000 mph! But I feel secure. So much for perceptions.
