Elites promote freedom, in order to impose subsidized-consumption (slavery)

 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, safety, 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 month

Elites promote freedom, in order to impose slavery.

A culture of human-ethics requires responsible-human-independence (RHI).

I like Sanders very much and appreciated every word she spoke, except "God". Government leaders need to accept that "God" is mystery:  The people can never collaborate for mutual, comprehensive safety and security for living on earth by rationalizing mystery. Also, people with Sanders’ potential need the humility to change the label to the mystery; I suggest ether “the-God”, so as to show humility, or “Jesus” to show commitment to the-civic-good, or “the-laws-of-physics& its-progeny” to reflect what seems plain to humankind so far:  Only humankind can pursue responsible-human-independence (RHI). For example, prayer does not put a man on the moon.

It seems plain that the-God will not usurp humankind’s duty to pursue RHI. I think that message is in an ancient political philosophy that is expressed in Genesis 1:26-28 NIV. I cite NIV due to the passage, “in our likeness, so that they may rule”. Jesus cites Genesis 1:26-28 in Matthew 19:3-8, correcting Moses-law and the subjugation of women. The U.S. Constitution comports to these principles in each 1) its amenability by the people and 2) the pursuits that are proffered “to ourselves and our Posterity” in the preamble.

Now, here is the lesson for America that I would appreciate coming from you Dick Morris. Do the work to improve my view, make it yours, share it with Sanders, Trump, and Desantis and their spouses. The incentive is to suggest: any person who claims they have Jesus in their heart is prudent to contemplate Genesis 1:26-28 as I have presented it or better, then ask, “Would the-God approve any vice-president not accepting orders from The Commander in Chief of the United States?”

Did Mike Pence make the mistake I think he made?
 I speculate he thinks so yet cannot articulate it as I have, above.


Unusual thoughts turn most people off. Please don’t let the novelty of my message dissuade your interest. I am sincere, authentic, and a fellow-civic-citizen.

Long since, legislators have employed reason to try to manipulate discovery of the-laws-of-physics& progeny (physics). Legislators scheme to control civic-citizens, in order to benefit the elites; “civic” refers to reliability in human being (verb). Humankind knows that only citizens can pursue mutual, comprehensive safety& security to life on earth& extensions. So far, reason defeats discovery, because many civic-citizens accommodate tyranny.

Most civic-citizens pretend they are too busy living and, therefore, do not take the time to discover the vote in their self-interest – determine how to constrain legislative tyranny.

Ethics is part of the jargon legislators developed to persuade civic-citizens to endure expectations of justice even though tyranny continuously expands. Citizens encourage civility (obedience) more than civicality (reliability). They forego the-good for “the common good” that elites dictate. They extol unity rather than reliability “to ourselves and our Posterity”.

As humankind discovers the-laws-of-physics, civic-citizens choose positive benefits, while elites develop negatives they can manipulate for political power. For example, nuclear reactors can both generate electricity and empower bombs. Unethically, elites employ the threat of nuclear war to “conventionally” destroy cities and the people in them. Attempted gender-change enslaves the object to health-care for life. The journal of humankind’s discovery of the-laws-of-physics is the record of human ethics. Choosing negative-discovery is unethical.

Legislative tyranny licenses freedom to the elites, picking civic-citizens’ pockets if not lives. The tyrants encourage the mob to violence in the name of liberty, fraternity, and solidarity, well aware of elites’ monopoly on domestic police, state militia, and national military.

The long-standing freedom fantasy is being addressed by the 2023 abyss. Civic-citizens are awakened to the actual-reality that only they can vote in their self-interest. And their self-interest is the civic-integrity that is required to practice responsible-human-independence (RHI).

Freedom is elite jargon for slavery: human-ethics requires RHI.

quora.com/How-do-we-interact-and-sympathize-with-those-who-have-views-and-values-that-are-very-dissimilar-from-our-own? by Gidds Ontario

I appreciate the opportunity to think about your question. I think an advantageous view can be established by considering that humankind is comprised of individuals who can& may behave so as to aid living on earth. Persons divide themselves on the choice to behave or not. Those who behave facilitate& encourage reform to misbehavers.

I perceive 3 actions. First, accept that you, a human being can& may both 1) discover your unique happiness during each decade of your life and 2) pursue perfecting your unique person before death. Second, accept that humankind is comprised of individuals who adopt alternative lifestyles; I equate the styles to mineral, plant, animal, or soul rather than human-being, who can& may pursue unique perfection before death. Third, accept that civic-citizens take responsibility for comprehensive safety& security to life on earth and its extensions; “civic” refers to reliability in connections and transactions, and not every citizen is civic.

Under these principles, regard each citizen with appreciation that they can& may be civic unless they demonstrate otherwise. If they demonstrate that they are not civic, appreciatively caution them, so that they may consider your view. They may present evidence that you are erroneous, may reform, or may withdraw to privacy.

Privacy is the foremost claim of a civic-person. Civic-persons neither initiate nor accommodate harm to or from any person or association. When there exists mutual, comprehensive safety& security, each person’s privacy is upheld. Only when harm has occurred is there an offender and the need for a referee to restore justice to the offended and to humankind.

The civic-citizen aids the legislature, the judiciary, and the administration to constrain harm, relying on actual-evidence to discover harm and its perpetrator and upon the-laws-of-physics& progeny rather than tradition to pursue statutory justice. Physics’ progeny include mathematics, the chemistries, biology, psychology, fiction, and lies – indeed everything.

The key suggestions are appreciation to human being (verb), intention to perfect your unique person, and acceptance that not every person chooses the appreciation needed to perfection.

Human beings can& may pursue mutual, comprehensive safety and security. To do so, they can& may both not cause harm and not accommodate harm to or from anyone. They can& may perfect this practice, by frankly, appreciatively expressing their opinion then listening for opportunities to improve, based on fellow-citizens’ responses and taking action to aid statutory justice.

quora.com/Truth-is-in-the-hands-of-a-few-people-and-democracy-is-determined-by-the-majority-Is-truth-and-democracy-contradictory? by Luna Chen

The question: Truth is in the hands of a few people, and democracy is determined by the majority. Is truth and democracy contradictory?

I appreciate such a creative question. I think you, Luna Chen, exhibit human being (verb & characterization): a person has too much power to accept any contradiction they notice. They may not be able to express their concerns to others. I want to restate your expressions in terms I trust. Three publicly accepted words -- truth, democracy, and majority, need modification or substitution. Consider it my first offering for your correction of my misapprehensions.

Unfortunately, extant Education Departments manipulate thought so as to empower elites among fellow-citizens. Unfortunately, many elites fail to serve humankind, instead letting power corrupt them. An achievable better future is possible when most fellow-citizens recognize the factual-reality that power corrupts. Then, civic-citizens can strengthen the elites by un-electing or firing them when they fail their offices.

First, “truth” is not reliable. Merriam-Webster Online tells us “truth” is “the body of real things, events, and facts”. However, usually no one knows the factual-reality. For example, the US Military is not reliable respecting UFO’s. The CDC is not reliable regarding vaccines. The Congress is corrupt regarding spending our descendants and legal immigrants’ economic futures. The Administration is impeachable for importation of crime and deadly drugs at our southern border and in other ways.

People can& may employ the modifier “ineluctable”. It means, not to be avoided, changed, escaped, neglected, rationalized, or resisted. For example, local officials’ order to evacuate for a tsunami demands immediate, responsible action --- civic-citizens retreat to higher, stable ground. Reliability of the order is lower priority.

The order can later be weighed on ineluctable evidence: The tsunami arrived and lives were saved. Or, the report was false, either by error or by tsunami dissipation. Afterwards, the public knows the-ineluctable-truth about the expected event. However, if reliable records are not preserved, the facts about the report may be lost, and the reality may become controversial. The future cannot be improved without journaling past error.

By insisting on a journal of the-truth according to the-ineluctable-evidence, the people may achieve a better future. The-ineluctable-truth may be preserved.

“Ineluctable” was published in 1570 and combined with “truth” in 1906. However academia and the press have shielded the public from this powerful word, in order to gain higher rewards from the elites. The public cannot function on mysterious truth.

It seems that truth is in the-ineluctable-evidence rather than in the hands of “the few”: the powerful, many of whom are corrupt-elites.

Second, “democracy” is not reliable. It’s a fantasy used by politicians& clergy to control the individuals who comprise the inhabitants. Politicians control both domestic and foreign forces -- the police and the military, respectively. The clergy exacerbate fear to people who seek mysterious relief from the unknowns. Believers are gullible to mystery more than complacent to force. Therefore, many government officials partner with churches.

People can& may assign “democracy” to the trash bin, by using “allowed vote”. “Allowed” invokes the many influencers on election results: awareness and acceptance of U.S. intentions (the preamble), reporting integrity (civic-journalism), vote-counting rules and election-officials, a civic-judiciary, vote harvesting, group demands or factions, ignorance, and alien interferences.

Third, “majority” refers to a faction of the group. In question is the definition of “group”. Contradiction arises when conditions favor a faction. Contradiction is not possible when the group is defined, “reliable human-being”. If every individual is a reliable human-being, there is no majority – only a continuum of reliability. Continuum is possible in both human-characteristics and in time. The responsibility to female& male humankind does not recognize skin, hair, and eye colors; spiritual-mystery/none; genealogical variations such a peculiar disease: age and progress toward unique personal-perfection. Every human being has the duty to aid comprehensive, mutual safety& security for living on earth (and now its extensions).

The-laws-of-physics and progeny – mathematics, chemistries, biology, psychology, and so on, make it clear that an authentic human-being, a civic-citizen, neither initiates nor tolerates harm to or from any person or association of people. For example, a civic-citizen responsibly earns the cost of their style of living plus taxes to fund infrastructure. “Civic” means reliable in living connections& transactions.

However, not every citizen accepts harm-constraint, and therefore, an element of infrastructure is legislation, enforcement, and adjudication, plus research to continually discover and reform injustices. Humankind divides itself as civic-citizens and dependents. Civic-citizens aid the development of statutory-justice so as to reform offensive-dependents. Only penalizing offenders, without facilitating& encouraging reform to those who are willing, is un-civic.

Why is the United States a republic instead of a democracy?

The framers and signers of the 1787 United States Constitution collectively knew the importance of responsible-human-independence (RHI). Only the individual who accepted and adhered to the no-harm principles stated above could aid the development of human being (verb); that is, the practice that can& may take charge of comprehensive safety& security on earth. They knew such a culture had never existed on earth, and therefore, the 1787 inhabitants could neither establish nor withstand such an undertaking. Tradition was too invasive and strong, and suddenly re-educating adults was not feasible. Therefore, they provided the constitution by which “ourselves and our Posterity” could develop a no-harm culture. But, so far, civic-citizens have allowed the republic the signers endorsed to lie fallow.

The key provisions of the 1787 Constitution are 1) provisions for amendment by the people, 2) an abstract statement of intentions, and 3) the absence of standards. Thereby, the continuum “ourselves and our Posterity” has the opportunity& duty to pursue statutory-justice. The continuum of civic-citizens, defined by the preamble as We the People of the United States, perceives that dependent citizens prefer RHI. Legislation can& may evolve toward no-harm self-interest. Thereby, most citizens could and would responsibly pursue the happiness they perceived in each decade of their lives rather than conform to bureaucracy.

An informed public would hold Congress, the President, and the Supreme Court to the rule of law under the U.S Constitution. According to the-rule-of-law, the pursuit of statutory-justice would keep democracy in check.

How did the U.S. republic regress-to 2023’s threatening chaos?

In 1787, most citizens relied on a higher power to provide both comfort against the unknowns, for example, settling North America, and hope for salvation of their persons (mostly as souls in their afterdeath, the time after body, mind, and person stop functioning). The higher power was the-God, presumably controlling everything, usually the Trinity of each the Catholic Church competing with its “reformed”, Protestant churches. There was an underlying reverence for Jews, since Jesus was a Davidic Jew. Hidden in the Bible canon is the-laws-of-physics as understood 1600 years ago, obfuscated by speculation& interpretation that Jesus was anointed king. The Bible can be construed to posit that the legislature (Congress) is divine. (I disagree.)

The 11 state ratification conventions prior-to March 1789 agreed that the first Congress would amend the 1787 Constitution to include a Bill of Rights (updating the 1689 English Bill of Rights). In so doing, Congress awarded itself divinity on par with Parliament but with freedom-of-religion rather than commitment-to the Church of England (which has 26 permanent seats in Parliament). It was 1789, unconstitutional U.S. reversion to English dependency only 8 years after 13-states’ independence was won at Yorktown, VA then codified in the 1783 Treaty of Paris.

The U.S. civic-citizens, We the People of the United States can remedy U.S. Congressional tyranny by amending the 1791 First Amendment’s religious-practice clause to “Congress shall make no law . . . religion, or [promoting] the free exercise thereof”.

Conclusion

In the 3 usages I tried to develop, the-ineluctable-truth is discoverable by the continuum of civic-citizens; in the U.S., We the People of the United States or “ourselves and our Posterity”. So far, too few inhabitants accept that they are civic-citizens rather than dependents. Too few of “ourselves” are reliable to their descendants among “our Posterity”. Only when Congress is 2/3 comprised of civic-citizens will the allowed-vote aid development of the U.S. republic. As dependents reform, most government offices can& may be occupied by civic-citizens. Civically-responsible clergy can& may be civic-citizens who serve in the privacy of churches RHI-people choose.

Judging from the 2023 chaos, it seems the U.S. republic is lost to elite government-church partnership. However, consideration of the-ineluctable-evidence can motivate reform to the-rule-of-law faster than we might imagine. I think I am living as the reforms take hold. And your concern, Chen, is evidence that justifies my thought.

The question: How does Plato's conception of self-interest differ from Thrasymachus' conception of self-interest? Is the pursuit of self-interest an objectionable moral thesis?

I think Plato ignores self for soul and Thrasymachus counts justice as appreciation of the other and thus not a self-interest. It seems evident in 2023 that these ancient thinkers did not act for humankind.

The-laws-of-physics make it plain that humankind is solely in charge of comprehensive safety& security to life on earth. The civic individual neither initiates nor accommodates harm to or from any person or association. Some fellow citizens choose to be un-civic and therefore, the civic culture must pursue statutory justice. That is, written law and its enforcement as well as research to discover and remedy injustices.

Since every human-being can& may choose civic reliability, those who prefer crime or other dependency must be constrained. Arrogant-dependencies are objectionable. Paying the taxes for legislative and judiciary services to human-kind is in the individual’s self-interest and is therefore not objectionable.

quora.com/Should-we-prioritize-the-preservation-of-individual-liberties-or-the-greater-good-of-society-and-how-do-we-determine-what-that-greater-good-is? by Network Nomic

Your question is packed, due to six words: we, individual, liberties, the-good, society, and what.

First, “we” means civic-citizen, where “civic” expresses reliability in living connections& transactions more than conformity to rules. The dependent-citizen cares not about your question.

Second, “individual” refers to a person who behaves with civic-reliability despite the presence of persons who choose dependency. Dependent-citizens take “liberty” as license to abuse fellow-citizens.

Third, “liberties” is a political term that misinterprets human being (verb). The human-being (noun) pursues civic-reliability from the moment they accept responsibility to being human. Happy is the person who elected being human early in life. “Early” is marked by the moment they imagined acceptance. The human-being pursues perfection to their unique person. Their approach to perfection is enhanced when in youth they accepted responsible-human-independence (RHI) and pursued RHI during their journey thereafter.

Fourth, “the greater good” is academic propaganda against the-good, most of which exists yet is undiscovered. Humankind independently pursues the-good. The RHI-culture knows some people choose dependency, inviting harm. RHI-culture can& may referee, in order to effect reform when dependents cause harm. Legislation and its enforcement can& may continuously pursue statutory-justice: written laws that are both enforced yet amended when research unveils injustice. When society pretends to know the-good and coerces the individual to collaborate, society is itself corrupt. The RHI-citizen pursues reform to un-civic statutory law.

Fifth, “society” is the vague term by which corrupt-citizens create license to the privileged at the expense of fellow-citizens -- both RHI-citizens and dependents. The privileged license liberty to themselves. This unfortunate condition exists, because the-civic-citizens to not accept the human-demand to perfect the individual in appreciation to human being (verb). Human-being is the society that pursues statutory justice.

Sixth, “what” can& may focus on the meaning of human being (verb). The civic-human being reliably neither initiates nor accommodates harm to or from any person or association. Traditionally, persons neglect RHI by saying that the human-being is imperfect and rejecting the civic-integrity by which each human-being may approach perfection. “Integrity” refers to both reliability& wholeness; honesty is insufficient.

I know my response is deep. You asked a deep question. I hope my response helps.

quora.com/Are-the-principles-of-nature-a-source-of-morality? by Rich Hommiesyd

I appreciate your question and think it touches independent-human-responsibility or responsible-human-independence (RHI). You used two key terms: nature and source.


First, traditional nature hides the-laws-of-physics& progeny (hereafter, “the-laws”). The progeny include mathematics, weak& strong forces, the chemistries, biology, psychology, imagination; indeed, everything. Fiction, lies, and legal precedent are made possible both by undiscovered laws and by gullibility.

Second, the source corrects morality. Morality derives from traditional speculations intended to elevate rationalization above discovery; reason above physics; spirituality above reliability: mystery above source.

Mesopotamian political philosophy 5,500 years ago suggested that female& male human-being can& may independently pursue order& prosperity to living on earth.  Through discovery, NASA plans a colony on the moon or on Mars by 2035. Yet 2023 U.S. politics is mired in attempts to impose skin-color rather than human being (verb) as moral grounding.

Humankind can& may develop order& prosperity by experiencing& observing how the-laws constrain human choices, in order to avoid error-repetition.

Shared with the question, Is skin-color rather than human being (verb) moral grounding?

quora.com/unanswered/What-is-meant-by-morality-judgement? by Fenta Melkamu

The civic-person neither causes nor accommodates harm to or from any person or association. Herein, “civic” means reliable in connections& transactions for living. Reliability is grounded in informed humility.

The-laws-of-physics& its progeny, the-ineluctable-evidence, e.g., mathematics, chemistries, and psychology, make it plain that human being (verb) can& may pursue safety& security to life on earth and to its extensions. However, some persons choose to pursue dependencies rather than responsibilities. The dependencies either cause or accommodate harm.

Dependencies include passivity, indolence, religious arrogance, crime, tyranny, evil, and worse. People who choose dependency reason that the-ineluctable-evidence can be avoided, changed, escaped, neglected, rationalized, or resisted. Offenders behave on emotions, either spontaneous-opinion or long-nourished attitude. They seek mercy, claiming their moral judgment was impaired. However, the-laws-of-physics cannot yield to emotions.

The civic-citizen constrains personal behavior, in order to apply the-laws-of-physics. When they don’t comprehend the applicable laws, they preserve their newborn posture: I don’t know the-ineluctable-truth. Only under actual assault would they injure another’s way of living.

The clearest example of these principles addresses the personal-God. A civic-citizen is humble to whatever constrains the consequences of each human choice. They consider their personal-God a private hope& comfort that yields to whatever constrains the-laws-of-physics.

The civic-citizen aids humankind to pursue order& prosperity to living on earth, without demanding theism or none. They leave morality judgement regarding the-laws-of-physics to their origins.

quora.com/We-each-individually-are-the-judge-of-our-domain-If-we-continue-to-outsource-this-aspect-of-our-nature-to-the-institution-then-how-can-we-be-well-within-our-society-without-its-license? by Sam

We’re at the recent edge of 300,000 years developing homo sapiens, and 10,000 years with the grammar to develop statutory-justice as political-philosophy. Humankind’s discoveries in the recent 200 years exponentially accelerated during the last 50 years to today’s technological developments. For example, NASA plans a colony on the moon or on Mars in the next 10 years. Commensurate progress toward statutory-justice seems less evident.

Each civic-person can accept to self, “I do not know the-ineluctable-evidence and, therefore, do not know the-ineluctable-truth. Herein, “civic” means reliable in every human connection& transaction more than conformity to rules. “Ineluctable” means not to be avoided, changed, escaped, neglected, rationalized, or resisted. “The truth” is simply insufficient.

I don’t know, yet think a few guidelines aid contemplation of personal domain for a civic-person. First, a civic person neither initiates nor accommodates harm to or from any person or association. Second, in self-interest, they constrain chaos in their ways of living. Third, they balance responsible-human-independence (RHI), considering, for example, Maslow’s hierarchy of responsibilities to unique human-being (verb). They examine personal thought before taking action. For example, they earn their way of living rather than pursue bureaucratic provisions or wield a dependency. Dependencies include passivity, indolence, arrogant-religion, crime, tyranny, evil, and worse. Fourth, they rely on the-laws-of-physics rather than spiritual-doctrine to order their expectations. For example, they neither submit-to nor advocate-for the gender-change industry. Fifth, they oppose institutional attacks on humanity, such as favor based on skin-color or other ethnic characteristic. Sixth, they accept that not every person supports the above principles. Therefore they earn enough to pay taxes for infrastructure, including development& enforcement of statutory-justice. They aid experiences& observations to discern constraints on human choices imposed by the-laws-of-physics more than by legal precedent. Seventh, they manage expectations so as to achieve the happiness they want rather than to submit to an institution’s vision for them.

If you like these ideas, you can& may ask: Why isn’t the civic-majority acting this way? First, they may be civically reliable, in their own ways& times, different from mine. Second, unfortunately, civilizations do not teach these principles of better to their youth. Therefore, individuals must discover& adopt such self-interest on their own. Churches persuade believers, in order to pay priests, and governments train “the workers we need” in order to increase officials. Third, the institution most culpable to this human travesty, after Church, is Education Departments. The civic-people can& may reform Education Departments, in order to aid the human infant in the quarter-century transition from ignorant-dependency to young-adult with comprehension& intention to develop their unique person.

I appreciate your question, Sam. Also, you pointed out that institutional “liberty” is license. I hope this post aids& accelerates an achievable better future.

I think elites deploy education to maintain gullibility.

Physics& its-progeny – literally everything – makes it plain that human being (verb) can& may independently pursue order on earth. The individual can constrain chaos in their way of living. Education has, so far, failed to make this ineluctable-reality common-knowledge among successive generations’ youth& adults. “Ineluctable” means not to be avoided, changed, escaped, neglected, rationalized, or resisted. Consequently, few fellow-citizens participate in the civic-integrity that is required for responsible-human-independence (RHI).

In fact, RHI is a self-interest that is served by civic-integrity: reliability in human connections& transactions. Unaware of RHI, most people fear the future and fall prey to the notion that a higher power will usurp their obligation to civic-integrity. Elites take advantage of this gullibility.

There are two marketers of higher power: priests and politicians. Their individual arts establish& nourish fellow-citizens’ pursuit of higher power. Politicians view the most powerful tyranny in partnership with the institution that created and maintains a-God the people believe can control physics. With this partnership, government can pick the people’s pockets and with-immunity, in order to personally live high-on-the-hog. The people neither rebel nor expatriate, passing the praise& worship bargain to their descendants.

Only an aware people can overthrow this tyranny. The recent 50 years of liberation education, I think sponsored by strange partnering by Marxists, the Catholic poor, and the Church, has created an abyss. The current chaos can& may motivate most people to pursue the education that could result in civic-integrity to RHI. Government would reform to continual development of statutory justice grounded in physics& progeny rather than arbitrary rules such as Anglo-American precedent.

I think the-civic-Jesus affirmed these principles, starting with Genesis 1:26-28. See Matthew 19:3-8, for example. Additionally, I think the framers& signers established these principles in the 1787 U.S. Constitution. Any group that wants to can draw from these documents from the past.

Law professors

lawliberty.org/the-grand-inquisitor-and-the-voice-of-freedom

Neamtu decries “all political systems that deny individual sovereignty and . . . subsidiarity” and extols “the perennial value of freedom against any dogma of infallibility”. Forgive me if my focus distorts Neamtu’s meaning.

Merriam-Webster online informs me that “sovereignty” means autonomy. “Subsidiarity” means that functions which are performed effectively by the individual belong to them.
We are at the leading edge of 300,000 years’ homo sapiens development. About 5,500 years ago, a Mesopotamian culture suggested a political philosophy: only female& male human-being can& may pursue safety& security to life on earth. It’s a philosophy of responsible-human-independence (RHI). Then 3,000 years ago, scholars imposed a God as the agent that willed the human powers. Then 2,000 years ago, competing scholars made Jesus the-God.

People who study Jesus can& may extract civic-guidance from the continuum of humankind’s experiences& observations – from the consequences of human choices. For example, in Matthew 19:3-8, perhaps the authentic Jesus negates popular law, extolling the ancient political philosophy: a man who unites to a woman cannot justly separate from their integrity. I regard suggestions like this as coming from the-civic-Jesus, where “civic” expresses reliability to human being (verb).

I think the-civic-Jesus influences listeners to behave for the-good. And Jesus mysteriously influences many people. As a listener& advocate, I would not forget Jesus by believing I could alone pursue the-good. Fellow listeners such as Dostoevsky and Emerson (Ralph Waldo) and today Vaughn Crombie help me comprehend the-civic-Jesus. Together, listeners mutually increase comprehension.

In this practice, I perceive sovereignty& subsidiarity as I write: To pursue personal happiness, other citizens can have all the rest --- give me Jesus.

It seems past time for civic-citizens to accept responsibility for mutual, comprehensive safety& security to life on earth.

With NASA thinking people will colonize Mars by 2060, it seems folly that in 2023 a scholar writes “we . . . grapple with what constitutes the nature of truth”.

I think scholars foolishly preserve the 17th century nature as surrogate for the-laws-of-physics& its progeny, such as mathematics, biology, and psychology -- physics. There is no “nature of truth”: there is physics. Scholars create semantics by debating the object of discussion – the something about which their choir debates “the truth”. A classic example is theists debating God, never party admitting to self that each advocates their-God without humility toward the-God. And the-God may be the-good that the developed humankind will achieve.

Civic-citizens can end scholarly tyranny be demanding that judges, lawyers, journalists, politicians, government officials, priests and even salespersons& congresspersons express the-ineluctable-truth. Ineluctable means: not to be avoided, changed, escaped, neglected, rationalized, or resisted. The-ineluctable-truth exists and can be discovered on the-ineluctable-evidence.

“Ineluctable” was published in the year 1571 and combined with “truth” in 1906. It’s been hidden from the public by the scholarly choir. Civic-citizens can& may hold each other responsible to speak either the-ineluctable-truth or better or admit, first to self, “I do not know”.

In a culture of responsible-human-independence (RHI), civic-citizens avoid communitarianism, unless the community's object is human being (verb). The community that tolerates democracy, despite the-laws-of-physics and its progeny, cannot pursue civic-integrity to its dependents -- children, grandchildren& beyond plus legal immigrants.

The U.S. Constitution's amend-ability and its preamble's intentions proffer an RHI culture. Pursuit of RHI is up to the civic-citizens, We the People of the United States, as defined by the preamble.

Neither the-God nor government can usurp human duty.

I think elites deploy education so as to maintain gullibility.

Physics& its-progeny – literally everything – makes it plain that human being (verb) can& may independently pursue order on earth. The individual can constrain chaos in their way of living. Education has, so far, failed to make this ineluctable-reality common-knowledge among successive generations’ youth& adults. (“Ineluctable” means not to be avoided, changed, escaped, neglected, rationalized, or resisted.) Consequently, few fellow-citizens participate in the civic-integrity that is required for responsible-human-independence (RHI).

In fact, RHI is a self-interest that is served by civic-integrity: reliability in human connections& transactions. Unaware of RHI, most people fear the future and fall prey to the notion that a higher power will usurp their obligation to civic-integrity. Elites take advantage of this gullibility.

There are two marketers of higher power: priests and politicians. Their individual arts establish& nourish fellow-citizens’ pursuit of higher power. Politicians view the most powerful tyranny in partnership with the institution that created and maintains a-God the people believe can control physics. With this partnership, government can pick the people’s pockets and with-immunity, in order to personally live high-on-the-hog. The people neither rebel nor expatriate, passing the praise& worship bargain to their descendants.

Only an aware people can overthrow this tyranny. The recent 50 years of liberation education, I think sponsored by strange partnering by Marxists, the Catholic poor, and the Church, has created an abyss. The current chaos can& may motivate most people to pursue the education that could result in civic-integrity to RHI. Government would reform to continual development of statutory justice grounded in physics& progeny rather than arbitrary rules such as Anglo-American precedent.

I think the-civic-Jesus affirmed these principles, starting with Genesis 1:26-28; see Matthew 19:3-8, for example. Additionally, I think the framers& signers established these principles in the 1787 U.S. Constitution. Any group that wants to can draw from these documents from the past.

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.
