Human-rights-propaganda empowers the U.S. tyrants

 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

Human-rights-propaganda empowers the U.S. tyrants

I’m receiving a passel of questions about “human rights”. In my perception, the only right a human-being can demand of another is the right to constrain chaos in personal-living regardless of the other’s practices. I don’t know the-ineluctable-truth. (Study “ineluctable” then apply it to the-truth.)

The people who wrote “. . . Nature's God . . .  their Creator with certain unalienable Rights . . . Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness . . .” were politely opposing the Church of England’s Trinity and rebuking John Locke’s “Life, Liberty, and Property” where “property claims a human-being is Locke-God’s property and thereby unassailable. The founders declared religious pursuit to personal-privacy.

But what nation or God can warrant life, independence, property, or the pursuit of happiness? I omit “liberty” because it has been proven to be the mob& tyrant’s license to take fellow-citizens’ heads, blood, property: their all.

Necessity& justice demand that we fellow-citizens constrain chaos in our way of living so the collective of civic citizens have the chance to constrain dependent-fellow-citizens so as to preserve human viability. “Civic” means practicing humble-integrity in human-connections. And integrity means responsibly earning your way of living and paying taxes. Taxes cover the infrastructure for constitutional-law enforcement plus research to establish and maintain statutory justice.

By persuading the entity We the People of the United States to debate human-rights, the elites in government pick our pockets with immunity, never fearing that we might require them to demonstrate the humble-integrity that is required for responsible-human-independence (RHI).

Likewise, lessening U.S. medical-patient-care-outcomes is happening daily when administrators, through their lawyers, "patient advocate" departments, and financial-profit advisors, press doctors, nurses, and first-care takers to "follow protocol" rather than deliver health-care, then press surviving patients to accommodate the “institutional efficiency” of loading doctors with administrative “obligation”. It's an administrative-pandemic that especially injures& terminates the elderly, in my opinion. (Edited)

I appreciate the opportunity to address your question. In my fourth quarter-century my mentors are a fraction of my age. When I was a father to 3 children with my wife of now 52 years, I read Kahlil Gibran’s short poem “On Children” and reared our 3 children in appreciation of their intentions to address the world of 2021 rather than follow me as in 1980. Now, my children stay ahead of me daily. I could not survive without them. Don’t get me wrong I am not dependent. However, I cannot contend with the daily problems they take in stride. The understand 2021s divergent chaos but are not impressed with it. Yet they pay their taxes.

My wife and I stopped smoking together, cold-turkey, in 1972, when we became convinced it would kill us --- diminish our intentions to care for our children and any grandchildren for life. In 2018, I felt alcoholic beverage-habits were killing me, and I quit, cold turkey. The next time we had a grand dinner (shrimp linguini, avocado& tomato salad, and garlic& olive-oil toast), I offered to open a bottle of red for her only, and she said, “No, thanks, I gave it up”. Astounding wit! I put on Billy Joel “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant” for nostalgia. Last Friday, upset with medical-administration’s carelessness for my wife’s future and my chest pains, I made the personal commitment that frustration would never affect me again. My children set the example.

The sentiment Gibran expressed comes full circle when the appreciative parent& neighbor approaches completion.

Please speak your opinion and ask your brilliant questions. I’m listening and learning as I write.

https://www.quora.com/Can-you-define-modernism-and-postmodernism-in-a-short-and-simple-answer? by Othmane

I don’t know the-ineluctable-truth and think your question pertains to Western political philosophy. The short and simple is that the American woman, beginning in 1919 (modernism), lessened their reliance on 1) authentic man and 2) religious hope. Abandonment to single-motherhood after 1953 (postmodernism) invited chaos. The remedy is for men, and now women, to reform to their authenticity. If you don’t need my construct, that’s fine.

Skipping prior evolution, the current human-being, homo sapiens, seems about 300 thousand-years-old. About 5 thousand years ago, a political philosopher suggested, in 2021 terms: female& male-human-being can independently provide order& prosperity to living species and to the world. Infidelity and chaos would not be consistent with that suggestion. About 3 thousand years ago, Hebrew scholars expressed the suggestion as the-God’s blessing to female& male-human-being. (“The-God” is my 2021 expression for whatever controls the outcome of human behavior, perhaps the laws of physics; in no way would I presume to know or bind myself to 3 thousand-year-old opinion about 5 thousand-year-old metaphysics.)  About 25 hundred years ago the Greeks suggested that necessity& justice require the civic-citizen to neither initiate nor accommodate harm/injury to-or-from any person or association including family. About 1660 years ago, diverse churches canonized the Holy Bible, which reviews the above mentioned literary-history and adds the metaphysical Jesus, the-God to those humans who are chosen by the-God to believe Jesus. According to the Apostle John, the un-chosen hate Jesus, hate his disciples, and hate the-God (John 15:18-23). About 500 years ago, Protestant Bibles were canonized. The unintended consequences of each canonization is that Genesis 1 expresses the 5 thousand year old suggestion that femal& male are responsible for peace on earth, and the rest of the Holy Bible is a report on the consequences of non-performance: infidelity.

Regardless, Western-European thinkers led the reformation that challenged the Roman-Catholic Trinity (Father, Jesus, and Holy Ghost) and motivated England’s constitutional provision of a Protestant monarchy in 1689’s Bill of Rights. John Locke, early Calvinist and later perhaps Deist, was instrumental in this change. His Locke-God-given-rights were “life, liberty, and property”, where each human-being, or at least each man, was Locke-God property and therefore unassailable by any person or institution including self. Scholars discounted physics by labeling it nature and counting reason as more reliable.

The founders of the uSA, in their 1776 declaration of war for independence from England, cited “Nature’s God” for authority to defend themselves against the English Trinity and rebuked Locke by amending his claim to human-rights as “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. The framers of the 1787 U.S. constitution upheld the separation of church and state by proffering 5 domestic disciplines --- integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity, leaving religion to personal-privacy. However, the First Congress egregiously imposed religion-Congress partnership then claimed Lockean “consent of the governed” when none of the 99% Protestant voters of 1789 complained (voters being some 5% of the 80% free-faction).

Skip the industrial age and more, to women’s suffrage, passed by Congress in 1919, and on to the Kinesey Reports of 1948 and 1953, and I think you have modernity, or the social break from Chapter XI Machiavellianism that empowers religion-dominance in politics. Even though finding an authentic man (who would care for her and her viable ova for life) was difficult for the authentic woman, women began to free themselves from dependency on either religion for hope and comfort or one man for happiness. It was an unfortunate-reaction to 4,932 years’ male dominance.

Without the sacrificial-caring power of the female, the chaos of irresponsibility has produced exponential chaos-divergence in the past 68 years. Whereas modernism denied the-ineluctable-truths suggested in humankind’s literature, including the Bible’s metaphysics, postmodernism states the arrogance that female&male-human-being can avoid, change, and resist constraint, whether physics or metaphysics. If the needed-reform started now, I think an achievable better future would be perceived in about 84 years.

The idea that postmodern free-thought ought to be imposed on a viable human-ovum seems self-defeating offensive-arrogance.

https://www.quora.com/Are-rights-not-granted-by-the-Constitution-illegal? by Pipi C

I study the Constitution often and am not aware of any rights it grants beyond a citizen’s right to join the entity We the People of the United States as defined in the preamble to the U.S. Constitution.

In my 2021 view, the preamble reads like this: We the People of the United States who want to practice integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity proffer this constitution “in order to” encourage& facilitate responsible-human-independence (RHI) “to ourselves and our Posterity”.

No standards are offered for the 5 domestic disciplines or RHI, and the disciplines do not include religion. We the People of the United States is the committed-faction who encourage& facilitate the totality.

Thus, the only right I perceive reliable is the right to join We the People of the United States. The “rights” tacked on by Congress in the Bill of Rights are obviously neither supportable nor valid to RHI. That’s why they are so contested in 2021, perhaps a year of reckoning for Congressional-tyranny in the USA.

https://www.quora.com/unanswered/What-is-an-example-of-a-conflict-that-might-occur-due-to-individualism-and-collectivism? by Airon Jae Condol

I’ll first set the parameters for my response:  The collective that attempts to deny responsible pursuit of personal-happiness is in conflict.

First, your scope is human-being, its latest& exclusive mutation, homo sapiens, about 300 thousand years into psychological evolution. Psychology is a subset of the phenomena that emerge& develop according to the-laws-of-physics. (The hyphens invite the reader not to disassemble the phrase and its meaning: the necessity& justice that exists and human-beings may discover. Also, the “word1& word2” syntax expresses mutual requirement under the laws of physics; “civic” refers to humble-integrity in human-connections. Humble-integrity means accepting& admitting “I don’t know” when that is so.) My presentation may seem peculiar; it is the product of intention to find words and phrases that seem reliable to the experiences& observations of most human-beings, no matter where they are in their journey to chronological& psychological maturity-to their unique person.

Civic-integrity requires fidelity to the-ineluctable-evidence. “Ineluctable” means “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted”, merriam-webster.com. Research, appreciating& preserving the-ineluctable-evidence, leads to the-objective-truth (negative or positive). With ultimately-required instruments of perception, research may approach the-ineluctable-truth.

Note: “ineluctable” was used in translation from ancient, foreign words in 1571, infrequently since then, and “the ineluctable truth” was used in 1906 and sparingly since. Among educators and such, the usages should be well-warn for reliability versus vagaries like “fundamental truth” or “Truth”. I prefer the accuracy, precision, and specificity of “the-ineluctable-truth” and shop for an improvement: Please share it. But why isn’t “ineluctable” a common word and “ineluctable truth” well known?

The human-being is born totally ignorant and may be encouraged& coached into 5 critical acceptances: 1) being human-being rather than assuming an opposite such as animal, plant, mineral, “soul” or “incarnation”; 2) responsibility to choose humble-integrity; 3) intending& practicing responsible-human-independence (RHI) rather than dependency; 4) the individual power, the individual energy, and the individual authority (HIPEA) to constrain chaos in personal-behavior; and 5) humankind has had less than 10 billion person-years to develop, yet the newborn has less than a century to perfect their unique person. Thus, whereas necessity& justice seem to accommodate homo sapiens’ collective failures, the individual starts with constraints: quickly discover& accept the-ineluctable-truth, retaining the “What’s that?” of childhood. Human error cannot be accommodated unto personal-habit.

Unfortunately, the world’s Education Departments resist the principals suggested above. They serve governments so as to develop “the workers we need” (Barack Obama, 2012). Consequently humankind is divided into 2 factional collectives: individuals who fortunately pursue RHI with/without the empowering articulations, and persons who resist the necessary civic-integrity; fellow citizens who pursue either 1) civic-life or 2) dependency. Dependency is made possible by psychological variations: awareness, intelligence, knowledge, unavoidable-dependency, gullibility, cunning, egocentricity, wealth etc.

The civic citizen separates state from church and therefore need-not share any spiritual interests they may-or-may-not pursue: they happily debate parallel-political-viewpoints that conserve individual-opportunity for personal-happiness rather than impose a collective metaphysic. They always struggle for mutual opportunity for private-happiness and therefore never “agree to disagree” or otherwise stonewall fellow-citizens. Dependent fellow citizens who cause/accommodate harm/injury need reform --- from indolence, infidelity, crime, tyranny, evil, and worse. Civic citizens fund constitutional law-enforcement plus research toward ever-improving statutory justice. Utopia or other totalitarianism is unexpected let alone unwanted.

I now feel positioned to respond to your question: First, the individual is born into a conflicted totality and therefore has self-interest in responsible-independence. Second, most persons practice necessity& justice in order to aid mutual, comprehensive safety& security: survival seems viable. Third, no entity will usurp the human-being’s personal-responsibility to constrain chaos in their way of living and thus aid humankind’s independent-responsibility for peace in this world.

The collective that attempts to deny individual-opportunity to develop humble-integrity is conflicted.

https://www.quora.com/Which-of-the-natural-rights-life-liberty-or-property-is-most-important? by Gaby Gonzales

The phrase is part of U.S. enslavement to dependence on a “higher power”.

What’s important to fellow-citizens is to recognize 3 things: “natural” means God-given, the-God is Lockean early-Calvinism or late-Deism and throughout his life Lockean-God. Third, every human-being is a property of the-Locke-God, and therefore no person can deny another life, liberty, or property.

The uSA founders, in the 1976 declaration of war for independence from England not only claimed authority from “Nature’s God” so as to politely deny the English-reformed-Catholic-Trinity, they rebuked John Locke by changing his “rights” to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. In other words, no American, I think including the Chapter XI Machiavellian James Madison, wanted to betray his/her-personal-God for the Locke-God.

Alas, the Tories who stayed in the U.S. gained the upper hand and influenced the First Congress to re-establish church-legislation “divinity” in America, mimicking England’s constitutional legislative-partnership with 26 Church-of-England-seats in Parliament. Other re-institutions of Anglo-American tradition are less egregious, I think.

We, the 2021 “ourselves and our Posterity” can& must amend the First Amendment so as to encourage& facilitate the civic-humble-integrity needed for responsible-human-independence (RHI) rather than continue to accommodate the Congress, Supreme Court, and administration civil-religious-pride: civil tyranny.

Additionally, we must reform the Supreme Court so that the entity We the People of the United States can continuously purse statutory-justice based on the-ineluctable-truth rather than majority opinion with favor to precedence. The U.S. intention is for the continuum “ourselves and our Posterity” to discover the standards for domestic integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity.

If your experiences& observations affirm these ideas, do the work to improve them to your satisfaction and make them happen. (Also, help me get my expressions right, if you perceive necessity.)

Speaking of enslavement, the Lockean jargon is constantly before us. However, the word “ineluctable”, meaning “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted” was translated from other languages before 1571, and published with “truth” in 1906.

Why have the educators (and others) been hiding “the-ineluctable-truth” all this time? I suggest that “reasonable truth”, “fundamental truth”, and many others empower them over fellow-citizens. Promoting “science” which can be faked with statistics and lies, instead of research based on the-ineluctable-evidence also enslaves us.

https://www.quora.com/How-important-are-human-rights? by Sherlianne Corpuz

One human-right is essential. Choosing to be a human-being ought not be denied to any person.

Because female& male-human-being can, their opportunity to constrain chaos in personal-behavior is their only defensible civic-demand. No entity can warrant a person’s life, independence, property, or pursuit of happiness.

I mention “female” first, because during her fertile years her body may originate up to 400 potential persons, who upon lifetime-support with her authentic-mate may choose to be human-beings if not one of the dependent entities: animal, plant, mineral, or soul.

I use “independence” where “liberty” is an expected “right” because 1) in 1789 the French revolutionaries taught the world that “liberty” can be taken as license to take fellow-citizens heads and 2) the history lesson was repeated in blood during some summers of the 1960s, 1970s, and in 2020 in U.S. Democrat-dominated-cities; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Power_movement.

Human-rights-violence is just another excuse for not accepting the necessity& justice of responsible-human-independence (RHI).

https://www.quora.com/Why-should-men-and-women-have-equal-rights-1? by Dulcie Mabilangan

I received the email-questionDo you think all citizens should have the same rights?

Yes, I do. There’s only one human right: the opportunity to constrain chaos in personal behavior.

Female& male-human-being is the only species with the awareness and grammar by which to live without chaos. Consequently, necessity& justice require them to independently provide order& prosperity to life in this world. By “independently” I mean that neither government nor the power that controls the consequences of human action will usurp responsible-human-independence (RHI).

This is not at all a novel suggestion. It was expressed in colloquialism, 5 thousand years ago in the Middle East. The suggestion was interpreted by a Hebrew scribe 2 thousand years later, in Genesis 1:26-28. The rest of the worlds’ Bible canon express the consequences of infidelity in female-male intimacy. In Genesis 2, Adam does not appreciate Eve and they beget twins destined for murder. Fourteen generations later, Sara suspects she is infertile and suggests surrogate conception, gestation, and delivery by Hagar. Then Sara has a boy, creating a divided family. The chaos escalates over the rest of the Bible. Now, 2 thousand years later, humankind’s division is divergent.

The male fidelity to female and vice versa suggested in Genesis 1:28 never took. The suggestion came in the recent 5 thousand years of 300 thousand years since hominids branched to homo sapiens.

Since then only one culture was proffered that comports to the Genesis-1 political philosophy. Together, the uSA’s 1776 declaration of independence from England and the 1787 U.S. domestic order framed in the constitution proffer 5 domestic disciplines --- integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity, “in order to” encourage& facilitate the humble-integrity that is required for responsible-human-independence “to ourselves and our Posterity”. It is a fantastic proposition, with standards left to posterity’s posterity to discover.

The 1787 U.S. intentions were regressed by the First Congress when they imposed a religion-legislation partnership to restore Anglo-American tradition rather than uphold the independence the uSA had won with military providence from France. We, the 2021 “ourselves and our Posterity” can& must terminate Anglo-American tradition, starting by revising the First Amendment so as to promote civic integrity rather than civil religion and requiring the Supreme Court to reform to rule-of-law according to the-ineluctable-truth rather than judicial precedent or temporal opinion.

In proportion to homo sapiens’ 295 thousand years to the suggestion of human fidelity 5 thousand years ago, the entity We the People of the United States can establish the 1787 U.S. intentions in only 84 years. That’s about 4 generations after 12 generations left us this opportunity. Let’s get started today.

https://www.quora.com/What-does-social-responsibility-mean-to-you? by Chanda Dacuyan

First, I intend to constrain chaos in my way of living.

Thus, I act out of civic necessity& justice. “Civic” means fidelity to human-connections. That is, I neither initiate nor accommodate harm/injury to or from any person or association, including self and family.

Rather than accept dependency, I practice responsible-human-independence (RHI), using humble-integrity to guide personal-integrity. Integrity is based on the-ineluctable-truth to be discovered by researching physics and it progeny, including psychology. “Ineluctable” means “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted”, merriam-webster.com. Civic humility comes from listening to the voices and watching the faces in my human connections. Any consequences rest with me.

Second, since it takes two to connect, I accept that I won’t always get what I want.

https://www.quora.com/What-matters-most-to-you-to-be-good-or-to-be-right? by Sheena Mae Sarza

I don’t know the-ineluctable-truth. I think the-good (purpose) and the-right (justice) cannot be separated by a human-being, so it’s best to aim for both. There are 3 aspects of being-in the-right: intention, awareness, and practice. Balancing them requires a psychology of humility: intention to be both good and right, awareness that there may be differing viewpoints, and actions to satisfy both views; always.

It takes about a quarter-century for a newborn to acquire the comprehension and intention to live a complete human lifetime. By complete, I mean perfecting their unique person. That is, achieving their personal-perfection, not universal perfection. People say “Be all you can be”.

The encouraged& coached human-being may in adolescence accept that they have the individual power, the individual energy, and the individual authority (HIPEA) to develop either humble-integrity or egocentricity. [The ‘word1& word2” syntax indicates mutual requirement.] I discuss intentional egocentricity below.

The discouraged and un-coached youth is likely to become an egocentrically dependent-adult, perhaps never discovering HIPEA. Yet it is possible for them to rise above their youth and accept the self-interest of using humble-integrity in-order-to develop personal-integrity. This human-miracle is not possible in seclusion, because the-ineluctable-truth is written on the faces and expressed by the voices the person connects with in daily living. The person who is born into injustice cannot consider departure until he or she has encountered justice. Thus, either by early coaching or by civic-connections each person may develop civic responsible-human-independence (RHI), founded in humble-integrity. But not every person is civic.

The person who unfortunately uses HIPEA for egocentricity becomes a dependent: indolent, abuser, infidel, criminal, tyrant, evil, or worse: a fellow-citizen who needs reform and begs constraint or isolation.

Because these principals are not promoted by Education Departments, we live in a confused world that utilizes plausible-truths –- usually falsehoods --- as assumptions for action. An unfortunate, dedicated driver with a rider whose illness or injury is life threating has another passenger waving hands, blinks headlights, and honks horn to pass, and the unfortunate driver in front flashes into road rage and maneuvers to stay in front at a slowed pace. Or a patient requesting information about their medical care has been turned away before and now won’t accept “No” for an answer; the health-agent asserts he/she has not the authority to help: the patient has the option to leave, again without an answer or ask for a boss. Daily, many wrong actions are taken. Being right is the difficult part, and errors are bound to happen. It takes two to be both good and right in human connections.

I prefer to be good, always, persist without frustration, and if stonewalled, depart with goodwill to assert the right in another time and human-connection. I intend to never break this self-reliance: civic frustration will not invade my person. I hope to satisfy both the-good and the-right.

https://www.quora.com/Does-civil-law-or-due-process-of-law-protect-life-liberty-and-property? by Holly Lloyd

No. That’s a political construct concocted by Englishman John Locke, d. 1704. The uSA founders rebuked Locke’s politics when in 1776’s declaration of war for independence they, formerly loyal British subjects, claimed human rights under “Nature’s God” rather than the English Trinity: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They claimed religious freedom was one of the reasons they had left their homelands, be it England or another European country with religious oppression.

Shockingly, Locke’s “property” meant the property of the Locke-God, whatever he thought at the time. His construct was that no government or person could deny God’s property, even the property itself. It’s no surprise the uSA founders rebuked Locke’s philosophy.

The French, in 1789 proved that liberty is too often a license to take fellow-citizens’ blood. The U.S. Democrat Party demonstrated it again in 2020 when Democratic mayors supported injury, death, and property destruction in their cities. It continues with the Biden-administration’s reign of lawlessness. We, the 2021 “ourselves and our Posterity” can& must turn to responsible-human-independence (RHI), the 1787 U.S. intentions, in order to survive as the world’s best hope for an achievable, better future.

We’ll know the minority-entity We the People of the United States has come alive when the national debt starts declining. I’d like to be around when that happens. Meanwhile, since the debt is increasing, each newborn U.S. citizen or immigrant is assuming $7 million federal debt. I doubt the illegal U.S. inhabitants care.

Yes and yes.

Necessity& justice demand that female& male-human-being independently constrain chaos to living beings in the world, because humankind is the only species that can. That implies that each individual neither initiates nor accommodates harm/injury to-or-from any person/association including self and family.

For many reasons, most of all the two facts that 1) it takes a quarter-century for a person to acquire the comprehension& intention to-be a human-being plus another quarter-century or more to gain experiences& observations that empower responsible-human-independence (RHI) and 2) humankind always has ranges of chronological and psychological maturities. The civic-citizens, who constrain chaos, must fund and aid law-enforcement as well as the research to discover and enact statutory justice so as to motivate dependent citizens to reform. Herein, “civic” means mutual fidelity in human-connections.

Also, liberty is license either 1) granted by the winner of war and their authorized magistrate or 2) taken by the mob with intentions to injure, kill, and/or damage property. Bestowed-liberty is no surrogate for civic-independence, which each human-being may possess. This does not hold for people who choose to be dependent --- animal, plant, mineral, or soul --- rather than nourish the humble-integrity needed for RHI.

The passive citizen, who does not both fund and aid both law enforcement and development of statutory justice is a dependent. That is, the civic-citizen stays informed and aids fidelity in human connections for all life more than for personal-afterdeath.

https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-duties-of-the-judicial-branch? by Greg Thomas

Necessity& justice demand that female&male-human-being, because they can, constrain chaos in this world. Persons who accept that they are human-beings accept that charge and earn their way of living plus the infrastructure that is necessary to provide mutual, comprehensive safety& security so that citizens who so choose may responsibly pursue the happiness they perceive at each stage in their lifetime rather than submit to the image another entity has for them. They, the civic-citizens, practice responsible-human-independence (RHI).

Not every citizen chooses RHI. For reasons they may or may not understand, they nourish a dependency: indolence, abuse, infidelity, crime, tyranny, evil, and worse.

Members of the judiciary system must first be civic-citizens dedicated to RHI. As such, they accept that they are servants to a divided humankind: civic citizens who are paying the bills and aiding the discovery of statutory justice, and dependent fellow-citizens who may risk causing harm/injury that results in their accusation, indictment, conviction, and notice to reform.

The duty of the judicial branch is to complete the demand for justice in-necessity to humankind.

Recalling that I know neither the-objective-truth nor the-ineluctable-truth, I have earned a well-grounded opinion. I share the opinion in hopes of learning from fellow-citizens. [The hyphens beg the reader not to disassemble the thoughts. Also, I am puzzled as to why “ineluctable”, in use since 1571 AD, is not an everyday word among civic-citizens. It means “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted”. Herein, “civic” refers to mutual-fidelity in human-connections.]

First, I considered your phrase “do what is good for us”, which I think is at the heart of a human-being’s purpose and a synonym for both the-right (as in opportunity) and the-good (as in consequences). That is to say, it is civic for a human being to act in self-interest. The question, which is but ought-not-be eternal to every newborn is: how does a person discover self-interest?

To homo sapiens, the only remaining representative of human-beings (unless the next mutation, homo integritas or such is already emerging), an ancient “ourselves”, 5 thousand years ago, suggested to their “Posterity” (ourselves in 2021): female& male-human-being, for necessity& justice can& must constrain chaos in this world. [The “word1& word2” syntax implies mutual requirement. For example, female&male are required for humankind’s survival.]

Second, you and I may mutually understand “law”. I learned from you, Mr. Amoah, that “law infringes and protects at the same time”. “Infringe” surprised me. And merriam-webster.com suggested “defeat” or “frustrate”, and https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/infringe suggested “limit”. These usages seem valid for the specific laws that constrain a human-being to self-interest: the laws of physics and its progeny --- mathematics, the chemistries, biology, psychology, imagination, fiction, indeed everything. For simplicity, I’ll call it the laws of physics, or physics for short. Writers 400 years ago confused readers with the word “nature” and later with the word “science”. The reliable human function is research based on the-ineluctable-evidence. Its product is the-objective-truth until instruments of perception empower research to approach if not attain the-ineluctable-truth that interconnects with physics.

Responding to necessity& justice, the civic human-being accepts each of: 1) being human, 2) having the individual power, energy, and authority (HIPEA) to constrain chaos in their lifetime, 3) pursuing the-ineluctable-evidence when “I don’t know” won’t constrain chaos, 4) choosing humble-integrity by which to gauge personal-integrity, and 5) acting with responsible-human-independence (RHI) in self-interest. In other words, none of reason, revelation, faith, hope, charity, coercion, or force can cause them to avoid, change, or resist the laws of physics. The civic-citizen faithfully retains their infantile posture “I don’t know” when they don’t know. If necessary, they research to learn the-ineluctable-truth, in order to practice humble-integrity. If there is no need for action, they may retain “I don’t know” and take no action. The never act on opinion, except under actual physical attack.

Hopefully my concerns engage your experiences& observations. My response to your teaching is this: the-rule-of-law by opinions of justices who attempt to preserve precedent and thereby [vainly] attempt to avoid, change, or resist the laws of physics is wrong. Their rule-of-law must be reformed to continually discover and codify statutory justice based on the-objective-truth when the-ineluctable-truth is yet undiscovered. The-objective-truth is reliable until instruments of better-perception are available, and the approach to the-ineluctable-truth advances. For example, the earth, once thought to be firmament floating on water, with the heavens above and the spirit of God a fog is known to be among the planets in our galaxy in the outer space rather than “other world” humankind is exploring.

The civic-citizen is constrained to ask, how can a Supreme Court brook the idea that entrepreneurs can persuade teenagers that their psychology does not fit their biology and for a fee they can “correct” the physics, leaving psychology wellness?

For example, the male typically suffers from heterophobia: the fear of committing-to for-life a woman and her ova, some 400 during typical fertility. If he cannot work it out on his own with the woman who is committed to him, he can seek counselling to overcome his well-known fear. Or he can talk to someone like me, who in their fifty-second year of marriage, reports a ruined life but not ruined spouses. The horrendous losses and misery spouses often encounter need not lessen each of the persons. A negative illustration of this principal is shared by Anton Chekov in “Rothschild’s Fiddle”.

I assert that egregious offenses against humankind are motivated by a long history of government interference in capitalism. Capitalism is a human connection between necessity and provision. The risk-taking entrepreneur perceives the need and does the work to provide, and the grateful consumer pays the cost when the price is feasible for them. The elites of the world have distorted the system so as to direct consumerism to support the very rich, with government subsidies for entrepreneurs and entitlements for consumers. The end of the government pyramid-scheme is ruin, according to the laws of physics.

For a reliable response, I would study the first 10 of 30 documents and perhaps more listed at https://plato.stanford.edu/search/searcher.py?query=Totalitarianism . To decide I really needed to know, I’d scan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totalitarianism with the caution that I am reading leftist bias; that is my opinion, and I do not claim to know the-ineluctable-truth.

https://www.quora.com/Why-is-the-right-to-work-the-most-fundamental-among-all-employee-rights? by Derley Paculba

I don’t know the-ineluctable-truth. “Ineluctable” means “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted”. It’s a word that shows up on the google ngram from 1576 to 1576 then off and on until 1906, when it’s frequency leaves the zero-line perhaps permanently. It seems the political philosophers and scholars hid “the ineluctable truth” as a discussion topic from us for a reason. I speculate that they wanted to preserve the opportunity to construct reasonable-truth in-order-to aid the elites’ success: wealth to pay scholars high salaries. I don’t think this was a conspiracy; individual scholars protected their employee rights.

The falsehoods about human rights is a construct by Englishman John Locke, died 1704. He wrote the preposterous idea that every human being is the property of the-God that Locke promoted and therefore government must warrant “life, liberty and property”. “Property” therein refers to the human-being as Locke-God’s property, in Locke’s youth, a Calvin-God and later a Deism-God. The uSA founders, in 1776, rebuked England by appealing to “Nature’s God” for human-authority rather than to the English, reformed-Catholic-Trinity. They also rebuked John Locke by asserting Nature’s-God-given-rights to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”.

We, the 2020 “ourselves and our Posterity”, received a clear message from the Democrat Party and Democrat run cities that there is no U.S. intention to warrant domestic freedom from death, injury, and loss of property. When a mob licenses itself to liberty, Democrats support them. The French licensed liberty in 1789 for a decade of terror. The 1787 U.S. intention is the humble-integrity by which to practice responsible-human-independence (RHI).

I think the only provision a citizen should expect from their government is the opportunity to develop humble-integrity by which to gage personal-integrity. In humble-integrity, each civic-citizen takes charge to attain the comprehension and intention to live a complete human lifetime. Here “civic” means practicing fidelity in every human-connection. As a young adult, they enter the job market with qualifications for a most necessary service of their era. In this era, anything a robot can do should not be a person’s career choice. The civic-citizens participate in politics in order to aid “ourselves and our Posterity” in advancing necessary-statutory-justice.

In no way would they borrow money on their children’s and grandchildren’s futures.

The sooner most people accept that they are a human being and therefore have the right to develop RHI the sooner most children will be so educated by their parents and every Education Department. No human-being should assume they are dependent on the-God or a government: necessity& justice require each human-being and humankind to consider practicing RHI, in order to aid peace in this world.

https://www.quora.com/Is-freedom-important-to-the-ethical-experience-of-a-person-Will-the-absence-of-the-ethics-and-moral-impact-the-world? by Queen

Freedom is a privilege granted by the victor in war. Whatever freedom a citizen is granted must be used to develop responsible-human-independence (RHI). Therefore, the civic-citizens in a nation must encourage& facilitate the humble-integrity that is required for RHI. The person who achieves RHI orders both internal and external constraints. For example, I stopped smoking in 1972, and consuming alcoholic drinks in 2018, yet hope to pay taxes every year.

https://www.quora.com/In-general-how-much-can-Eastern-Asiatic-and-Western-Eurocentric-cultures-bias-observation-of-History-and-civil-humane-rights-be-trusted-Can-either-be-trusted-at-all-or-are-both-about-maintaining-power-and-control-of? by Rich Ameninhat

I think no matter where they were born, the female& male-human-being has the same opportunity: to accept being a human being; accept the individual power, the individual energy, and the individual authority (HIPEA) to develop humble-integrity; and accommodate the external constraints that allow them to live a lifetime while practicing responsible-human-independence (RHI).

I would not attempt to suggest how this is done in a communist country. I don’t think there are communist cultures and don’t know how to suggest the people overcome the regime.

I’m only familiar with U.S. tyranny, and attribute the repression to a majority who think Congressional freedom of religion and freedom of the media are worth living for. I work to persuade the 2021 “ourselves and our posterity” to amend the First Amendment in order to encourage& facilitate civic humble-integrity rather than civil religious-pride to Congress, the Supreme Court, and the administration. To reserve to personal privacy sufficient humility toward whatever controls the consequences of human behavior. Make certain that fellow-citizens who cannot separate church and state cannot get elected or appointed to office.

If the entity We the People of the United States accomplishes this necessity& justice, the rest of the world’s people will have hope for the first time since 1787: before the Congressional tyranny that established Anglo-American-tradition, repressing U.S. independence, in 1791.

https://www.quora.com/How-does-ethics-govern-ones-action-and-the-ethical-requirements-of-a-good-action? by Sharmaine Talay

I think your question is brilliant and am challenged to share my opinion and learn from your response.

At some point, each considerate human-being may ask “What am I?” and continue the question until answered. Unfortunately, no group has developed a culture that seeks the-ineluctable-truth and journals humankind’s discoveries [ineluctable means “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted]. If they had, there’d be a code of human ethics for each newborn to read and choose whether to be ethical or not. However, there are some prior necessities.

First, a person may accept that they are a human-being rather than either an animal working to satisfy banal appetites, plant growing for a fixed purpose, mineral supporting life, or phantasmal soul.

Second, the human-being may accept their individual power, individual energy, and individual authority (HIPEA) to choose their person’s psychology.

Third, they may choose either humble-integrity or a dependency. If humble-integrity, they act on necessity& justice and thereby develop responsible-human-independence (RHI). They constrain chaos in their way of living. The dependencies include indolence, abuse, infidelity, crime, tyranny, evil, or worse.

Fourth, the individual may accept that action that causes or accommodates harm/injury to any person by any person invites statutory law enforcement. Consequently, the persons who develop humble-integrity must bear the cost of a judicial system plus aid the development of statutory justice, and the dependents must make certain they do not cause harm/injury that invites accusation. If they are convicted, they either reform or sustain the appropriate constraint, perhaps termination.

Fifth, since humankind has some 8 trillion person-years of experience& observations during the recent 5 thousand years after grammar empowered intelligence to develop knowledge, it is impossible for the individual human-being to know enough to practice responsible-human-independence (RHI) alone. Therefore, they must, during life, aid the political process that produces a civic culture, where “civic” refers to human connections with mutually-humble-integrity.

This is an ethics by humankind, based on the-ineluctable-evidence: only female& male-human-being can constrain chaos in this world, and they cannot assume utopia will usurp their responsibility.

Law professors

https://lawliberty.org/book-review/lying-about-the-authority-of-the-law and Law & Liberty | Facebook

Professor Movsesian herein practices scholarship for scholars, with no regard for civic-citizens. Internal scholarship exacerbates the U.S. government’s failure to secure the global independence won with French military providence in 1781. The adolescent First Congress restored, as much as they could, Anglo-American religious-error, regressing 1787 USA independence to 1789 U.S. dependence on factional-American Protestantism. As the 1782 motto “E Pluribus Unum” appealed for reform, the U.S. acquiesced to Judeo-Catholicism; consider the composition of the current Supreme Court.

 Quoting the article:  In the words of the Declaration of Independence, “Governments are instituted among Men” to “secure” our rights and “deriv[e] their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

Movsesian promotes pure English, John Locke, propaganda meant to persuade commoners to accept Chapter XI Machiavellian religion-legislation partnership. The 1689 English Bill of Rights assures a Protestant monarchy and the 26 constitutionally provided Parliament seats for the Church of England. The First Congress, ill prepared for independence, re-established factional-Protestant partnership with Congress, at the people’s expense. One scholar wrote that the people did not object, as though 99% of 1788s free citizens and 100% of legislators were not Protestant. Herein is the domestic tyranny of “consent of the governed”:  It’s consent of the faction that subjugate their persons.

Also quoting, “The Constitution has authority because “We the People” have agreed to it.”

Not so. Such scholars delude themselves to the totalitarianism in the 1787-font-induced mesmerism of the preamble’s subject: the entity We the People of the United States. That’s the faction of U.S. citizens who intend-to-and-do practice the 5 domestic-disciplines that follow: integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity. The disciplines’ particulars are, respectively, wholeness to the-ineluctable-evidence, justice in necessity, human connections that mutually encourage& facilitate responsible private happiness rather than the dictates of another entity, preparedness to repel both internal and external attacks, and sufficient work to responsibly fund personal-happiness plus pay taxes and aid local, state, and federal infrastructure including first response to physical or psychological violence. “ineluctable” means “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted”. The five domestic disciplines are adopted by the few, “in order to” encourage& facilitate responsible-human-independence (RHI) “to ourselves and our Posterity”. “Posterity” includes descendants and legal immigrants. The object of the preamble, “ourselves and our Posterity”, is totalitarian in both demographic and in private-psychology: intentions to either RHI or to a dependency, such as Anglo-American tradition, U.S. infidelity, abuse, crime, tyranny, evil, or worse.

The faction who practice the 1787 constitutional intentions encourage& facilitate reform to dissident fellow-citizens. Quite plainly, the 1787 Constitution offers no standards of either disciplinary practices or the purpose: RHI. That’s because the continuum “ourselves” expects “Posterity” to continually approach statutory justice in necessity to the-ineluctable-truth.

A fellow-citizen who admits to not knowing the-ineluctable-truth must look to considerate fellow-citizens to accept the dilemma, create solutions, express them with the intentions for an achievable better future, and together effect the action that offers mutual, comprehensive safety and security so that each citizen may pursue the humble-integrity that is required for RHI. So far, neither most scholars nor most politicians nor most voters qualify as members of the entity We the People of the United States.

And quoting, “Smith begins his book with an account of how consent provides the grounding for law’s authority in a liberal democracy. Given the West’s “pervasive” commitment to individual freedom and equality, he writes, no alternative justification could serve.”

This is a throwback to the obsolete parts of the 1776 Declaration of Independence’s human authority on Lockean “Nature and Nature’s God”. According to Locke, each human being is a property of God and no person should diminish God’s property. But the founders cited “Nature’s God” to rebuke England without denigrating its reformed-Catholic Trinity, praised and worshipped by many colonists. Also, they rebuked Locke by changing Locke-God-granted human-rights from “life, liberty, and property” to the founders’ “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”, an equally preposterous government boast.

And quoting, “Genuine authority involves hierarchy and received obligation, concepts “antithetical” to “egalitarian autonomy.”

This scholarly reasoning is false. Authority can only be discovered and does not respond to acceptance or reception. The authority of the-ineluctable-truth exists and humankind’s duty is to discover and responsibly apply it.

This chemical engineer is constrained to ask why he discovered the phrase “the-ineluctable-truth” rather than encountering it in a constitutional-scholar’s work. My notion is that “truth” reserves to the scholar an opportunity to present reasonable-truth despite what the construct may cost the persuaded-reader. In other words, the scholar is motivated to seek the same kinds of rewards artists like the Sistine Chapel’s ceiling-painter received: excess money, notoriety to an elite faction, and fame.

And quoting, “Most originalists today hold that courts should give a constitutional provision the meaning it had at the time of its adoption, its “original public meaning.” Doing so, the argument goes, shows respect for the authority of the lawgiver, the “We the People” in whose name the Constitution binds us. But if “We the People” is just a construct, what sense does that make? Why should we defer to the dictates of a fictional lawgiver who never existed? And how would we know what a fictional person meant, anyway?”

This paragraph borders on pretense: the entity We the People of the United States is that faction who comprehend and practice the 1787 U.S. intentions: RHI. Federalist 10 demonstrates beyond doubt that the 1787 framers were attentive to majority and minority factions, and Federalist 54 addresses slaves. The framers themselves were psychologically divided: some wanted to preserve “We the States”, some doubted potential-sincerity to RHI by the majority, and some wanted to impose on “We the People” the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The egregious fallacy of the U.S. rule-of-law is the pretense that 5:4 or other dominant legal opinion provides the basis to responsibly discover and practice the-ineluctable-truth. “Ineluctable” first appeared before 1620 as interpretation of older foreign languages; https://www.etymonline.com/word/ineluctable. It’s frequency in google ngram is non-zero in each: 1571 to 1576, 1649 to 1660, 1697 to 1702, 1714 to 1733, and stays near the zero line from 1776 forward. “Ineluctable truth” leaves the zero line in 1906, and “the ineluctable truth” was dominant in 1906 and declined perhaps in 1917. Thus, scholars have had their chance at “the-ineluctable-truth” and did not deem it worthy of their attention. Why?

We, the 2021 “ourselves and our Posterity” can& must act: amend the First Amendment so as to promote the humble integrity required for RHI, reform the U.S. Supreme court to pursue statutory justice according to the-ineluctable-evidence rather than Court-opinion, license the vote only to sincere-citizens who comprehend and practice the 1787 U.S. intentions as they personally articulate them, and thereby prevent dissidents to the U.S. intentions from holding government office.

Civic citizens don’t lie, because they accept that the-ineluctable-truth will eventually expose consequential human loss& misery, even though no scholar, politician, clergy, professor or friend shared awareness of “ineluctable” when presenting “truth”.

Anthony Duke, I'm no fan of Al Gore and am grateful he did not become president.

However, I think you speak the-objective-truth if not the-ineluctable-truth in appreciating the factional-work of the Liberty Fund.

Moreover, you inspired my thought that Reason is the religion that has kept the word "ineluctable" from modifying "the-truth" for 450 years. Once the people accept any discovery of the-ineluctable-truth, the scholars who support a faction, be it Democrats or Republicans, lose their power to construct Reasonable-truth.

I write to learn from fellow-citizens, especially civic-citizens, and if there are no objections, I added your name today on my "appreciations" post at promotethepreamble.blogspot .com .

Two thoughts. First, this program ought to aid the panhandler's acceptance of their person as a human-being. Second, a parallel program should be started to promote widespread acceptance that a human being can take charge of their individual power, individual energy, and individual authority (HIPEA) to constrain chaos in their way of living and fidelity in connecting with fellow-citizens.

Only the-ineluctable-truth can inspire a newborn, as they discover life, to comprehend& intend to develop their person as a human-being rather than as mystery-soul or such. “Ineluctable” means “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted” merriam-webster.com. Why don’t we all know this word, “ineluctable”, first used in English in 1571?

Personal development, progressing during the person’s quarter-centuries, may be encouraged& facilitated by a civic culture, even if the people hope for ethnically preferred afterdeath. For example, an areligious culture can inspire their youth by the self-interest to accomplish the-good during life.

In such a culture, ignorance is reliably accepted and shared so as to preserve open-minds& open-hearts. For example, a child asks “Does the entity “the-God” exist?” A civic-adult who chooses& nourishes a personal-God responds “I hope so but don’t know the-ineluctable-truth, and like everyone must hold sufficient humility toward the-God.”

In another example, the child asks “Will the sun come out tomorrow?” The civic-adult responds “By perception, it will, unless a storm hides it. However, it’s important to know that daily, the earth’s rotation on its axis un-hides the sun each morning in the east after hiding it last evening in the west: the earth rotates from west to east. I could go on.

Inculcating mythos slows the development of a civic-culture.

I want to discover the-objective-truth and new instruments for perception, in-order-to approach the-ineluctable-truth. Ineluctable means “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted” (merriam-webster.com). [The hyphens are intended to preserve precision& accuracy.]

The Google ngram shows “ineluctable” usage —- a translation of an old word —- off and on since 1571 and permanently departing the abscissa in 1906. Google-book-usage-percent, times 10,000, peaked at 2.45 in 1574, 0.283 in 1684, and 0.228 in 2002, respectively; declining interest. In 1906, “the ineluctable truth” slightly dominated “ineluctable truth” but dropped to 50% its usage in 2002; declining interest. “Truth” peaked at 339 in 1654, 230 in 1842, and 110 in 2019; declining interest. Its peak was 14,500 % higher than the "ineluctable" peak.

This chemical engineer is constrained to ask: Why haven’t political philosophers, social pseudo-scientists, law professors, elected officials, journalists, educators, and clergy encouraged& facilitated the entity We the People of the United States master-discoverers of the-ineluctable-truth?

I suggest it is because plausible-truth, metaphysics, religion, and imagination empowers elites among liberal-arts professionals to pick the people’s pockets with immunity. Their scholars write to support the competitive wealthy.

I read& write to reform all Education Departments — local, state, and federal —- to reform, in-order-to inculcate in our youth personal-intention& performance-to take charge of being a human-being: to develop the comprehension& humble-integrity that is required to practice responsible-human-independence (RHI) for life rather than "schools and colleges to train our workers", quoting President Barack Obama's second inaugural address.

https://www.abbreviations.com/ to submit RHI, responsible-human-independence

The U.S. culture that is proffered by the 1787 Constitution proposes 5 domestic disciplines --- integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity, "in order to" encourage and facilitate responsible-human-independence "to ourselves and our Posterity", a continuum of generations that pursue necessity and justice.

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 psychology of necessity and justice

 

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 psychology of necessity and justice

The human-being acts on necessity and justice more beneficially than on intelligence and knowledge.

Quora

https://www.quora.com/How-do-you-fairly-monitor-your-own-intelligence? by Graham C Lindsay

Merriam-webster.com presents, for intelligence “the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations; also: the skilled use of reason”. For psychology, “the way a person thinks”. If there are no objections, I’d like to address psychology more than intelligence.

And I claim today, October 9, 2021, that my person’s psychology articulates a journey toward the combination: open-mind& open-heart. [The hyphens to urge the reader not to disassemble, and the “thought1& thought2” syntax to indicate mutual requirement.]

On my way to adolescence, I observed that humankind had discovered so much reality I could never master it.  However, my parents and the community they chose inculcated the idea that if I would master Bible interpretation, my life would succeed. I also observed that Mom and Dad clashed over personal-Bible interpretation. Even though Dad would sometimes get frustrated with fellow citizens, including family, his interpretation seemingly dominated my interest.

If I had to guess, I’d say his person had each: high intelligence, all the knowledge he could access while living the life for the-good he perceived, wounded psychology, and unwitty temper. (I think Jesus was calm when he turned over money tables.) Dad alienated himself by bitterly knowing-more than fellow-citizens including family wanted to consider. He behaved with an open-mind and generous-heart, and nourished frustration when he was not treated as a fellow-citizen, let alone a fellow human-being. (On graduating from college (1966), I enrolled in whole-life insurance because Dad said I could not insult his insurance salesman in Dad’s home. As soon as I had a home and wife (1971), I dropped out and started term life insurance to cover her for life.)

As I write, I commit-to and trust-in my intention to never allow frustration invade my life again. (It’s a done deal in this, my third quarter century. I know this, because I suddenly quit smoking in 1972 when I accepted that smoking Camel cigarettes was killing me then suddenly quit alcohol in 2018 upon accepting that wine and beer were killing me. Thank you, Dad. And thank you, Maryann, who heard about my most recent elevated-voice and subsequent choice to constrain-for-life frustration’s power.

Now, to address your question. I think knowledge is one of the threats to an intelligent human-being’s chance to discover their person. If knowledge is not balanced with the humble-integrity to practice civic responsible-human-independence (RHI), the most intelligent person can be a fool. By “civic” I mean appreciating mutually-responsible-human-connections more than observing municipal rules. During my last couple decades, I accepted the practice of sharing my mantra “I don’t know” when I don’t know yet sharing what I think when I think the other party might have a better idea, if I can accurately and precisely convey my idea by listening to their reaction whether positive or negative, and working to accommodate their view if I think it improves my expression. Perhaps our mutually-developed ultimate expression will appeal to most people’s experiences, observations, and career responsibility.

For example, the Christian who claims to know Jesus and witness for Christ (Phil Beaver in the past), has never considered how Jesus might respond to the egocentric claim. It seems that a “person of faith” is satisfied with self-praise.

Mom and Dad were such excellent working-class providers! I strived to be the Christian they each wanted until I realized they were in conflict with each other about what that meant (until death parted them). If I had to say, it seems Mom’s ideal was to perform according to her Jesus-comprehension, whereas Dad dialogued with fellow-citizens to help him understand Jesus’ mysterious messages. Upon awareness, I suspected Dad was psychologically wounded when at age 12 his-dad died of cancer, leaving no life insurance for wife and three children. They moved from Tennessee to Colorado to survive. And Dad’s 5 uncles did nothing to help the family of four. Make no mistake: I am speculating and do not know the facts. What I know is that Dad remained his-Bible interpreter until death, always with the intention to take responsibility for his life . . . except when he smoked Camels, Chesterfields, or pipe or overdrank beer. He loved beer-drinking and sharing it with me and others.

A more pernicious tyranny is government-officials using of the historical-Jesus-mystery as metaphysics for political power --- to persuade willing citizens to resist personally-private-psychological-pursuit of RHI and depend on a higher power.

For example, President Donald Trump, taking USA political power as the Anglo-American-freedom-of-religion that has constrained the USA to English tradition rather than national-independence since March, 1788, when the First Congress was seated. I voted for Trump-Pence 4 times and thus am among the 14 million who made the Trump presidency possible. I always doubted the Pence choice, because he seemed a fundamentalist Christian. The nightmare is worse than I could have imagined.

On January 4, 2021, Pence, after saying each: he had Trump’s back, U.S. voters would have their day on January 6, but January 5 was Georgia’s day, “witnessed for Christ”. It was Pence’s declaration of independence from the USA in-order-to personally risk “witnessing” for Jesus.

Pence may overlook the metaphysics of reports about Jesus’ statements: be perfect [in the image of God], render unto Caesar, and before Abraham was born I AM. Perhaps in these three messages and others Jesus was saying: humble-integrity toward necessity& justice invited responsible-human-independence (RHI) from the moment human-beings invented the grammar required to develop mutual, civic awareness. Perhaps the metaphysical Jesus is an author of the message reported by human scribes in Genesis 1:26-28. If so, Pence egocentrically denied both the metaphorical Jesus and the entity We the People of the United States as expressed by the 1787 US Constitution and the 1776 Declaration.

Comprehending some of the-ineluctable-truth discoveries during the recent 5 thousand years, I interpret this 3 thousand year-old Genesis-1 literature: female& male-human-being can& must independently constrain chaos to life in this world. “Ineluctable” means “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted”. It is surprising and scholars’ fault that most readers have never encountered “the-ineluctable-evidence” by which the-ineluctable-truth can be discovered when the necessary instruments of perception have been invented.

To the individual human-being, necessity& justice demands constraining chaos in their way of living. My interpretations connect Genesis 1:26-28 separation of church and state to the USA founders’ claim to RHI authority from “Nature’s God” rather than England’s reformed-Catholic Trinity and with France’s military providence “the Supreme Judge of the world” affirmation of USA intentions. And the 1787 U.S. Constitution specifies 5 public disciplines, leaving spiritual pursuits to personal-privacy. The 5 disciplines are: integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity, “in order to” encourage& facilitate RHI “to ourselves and our posterity”. As always, these are my opinions for discussion with willing fellow-citizens.

Pence, with the arrogance to speak-for the mysterious Jesus, rebuked his running mate, the Commander-in-Chief-of-the-United-States, and the entity We the People of the United States who rely on the U.S. Constitution for civic, civil, and legal order. Any person who does not accept that even the wisest person on earth is wrong to impose a personal-metaphysics and neglect the physics of fellow-citizens in order begs the choice: private ruin or reform.

President Donald Trump invited ruin when he chose to depend on Christian voters for election victory and chose someone who does not accept the mystery of Jesus as running mate. The future president who leads the U.S. to independence from England, after the entity We the People of the United State accommodated Anglo-American tyranny since March, 1788, will do so on the principles both demanded and ironically neglected by a tyranny-accommodating entity now into its twelfth generation: “ourselves and our Posterity”, quoting the preamble.

On the other hand, we, the 2021 “ourselves and our Posterity” can restore 1776&1787 U.S. humble-integrity to the-ineluctable-evidence. Citizens can read my controversial yet grounded arguments, improve them with their experiences& observations, and promote U.S. reform in personal-self-interest toward humble-integrity.

To conclude, I hope I have made the case that I hold my knowledge and intelligence as relatively low, whereas I am developing my psychology to both an open-mind and an open-heart. I therefore work to appeal to fellow-citizens who are willing to encourage& facilitate articulations with precision& accuracy to their experiences& observations. In private dialogue, to the Christian who claims to have Jesus in their heart I ask, “Which Jesus? Physical or metaphysical?” and to the atheist I comment “That’s a leap of faith I cannot take; I wonder what caused physics& progeny.” Civically, I propose to amend the U.S. First Amendment so as to promote civic humble-integrity rather than accommodate civil, Judeo-Christian partnership with Congress, the Supreme Court, and the President.

If the people who practice a tradition neither initiate nor accommodate harm/injury to-or-from anyone, we should appreciate their performances as responsible-human-individuals. We should not question or attempt to evaluate their culture without their invitation to converse about. On the other hand, we can accept and mimic their civic example while responsibly pursuing the metaphysical happiness we privately-perceive.

https://www.quora.com/Why-is-it-important-to-consider-cultural-knowledge-practices-and-expressions-as-the-intellectual-property-of-indigenous-people? by Dayen Jenirose

The key word in your question is “consider”. If by “consider” you mean appreciate indigenous people as human-beings and members of humankind, persons who are responsibly pursuing the happiness they perceive rather than chasing the chaos in their environs, that’s important. Also, it’s important to appreciate their personal-privacy. Let them voluntarily share their culture, but don’t take the lead and question it. And by no means mimic their culture, accepting that you cannot decide to experience their motivations and inspirations. Nor can you experience the personal-privacy in order to develop your perception of globalism or such.

On the other hand, if the culture is dependent on initiating or accommodating harm/injury to fellow human beings, it is imperative to constrain their practices that cause the harm and to encourage& facilitate their interest in reform to responsible-human-independence (RHI). Constraint is a function of the human collective, and the individual should report offense or aggression to first-responders rather than imagine practicing vigilantism.

If a person finds they are being recruited by an offensive or aggressive culture, they should announce their exit and reasons for their choice, then leave the group, perhaps reporting to first responders.

https://www.quora.com/unanswered/Compare-and-contrast-individualism-and-collectivism-Which-philosophy-do-you-believe? by Reah Mae Geray

In the human-culture, people could . . . should civically-act only for necessity& justice [the word1& word2 syntax to indicate mutual obligation]. They’d reserve responsible pursuit of happiness for personal-privacy. “Responsible” means neither initiating nor accommodating harm/injury to-or-from any person or association, including self and family [the hyphens to invite readers not to disassemble]. I call this ancient principle “responsible-human-independence” (RHI).

Not every person is aware of these principles and not every person who is aware of them chooses RHI. Some persons prefer a dependency: indolence, abuse, infidelity, crime, tyranny, evil, and worse. To constrain the diverse, dependent fellow-citizens, the collective faction of civic-fellow-citizens must be politically informed and active for life. They must not only earn their way of living including taxes for infrastructure, the infrastructure must include the constitutional law-enforcement system plus research to discover and enact statutory justice.

The human-being has the authority to constrain chaos in their life. Not everyone chooses the self-discipline that is essential to fidelity in human connections and to the-ineluctable-evidence. “Ineluctable” means “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted”. Consequently, humankind must provide the mutual, comprehensive safety& security that is required for a person to responsibly pursue the happiness they perceive rather than an image another entity would impose on them.

To Bill Harris:

Thank you, Mr. Harris for your comment; maybe so. I’d like to know your view of “collective”.

My post describes two collectives within humankind: 1) independent human-beings who responsibly pursue the happiness they perceive rather than subjugate to the happiness their collective perceives or any other entity envisions for them and 2) dependent-fellow-citizens; I shared a list of groups in that collective.

If the dependent collective overpowers the independent collective, humankind will no longer be physically (economically) viable.

I write to learn: If this does not clarify my post, please share the view of “collective” I’m missing.

To Bill Harris:

Thank you for the kind words and additional comments. I agree fully

https://www.quora.com/unanswered/1-Explain-why-only-human-beings-can-be-ethical-2-Explain-freedom-as-foundation-for-moral-acts? by Rea Moherna

Grammar and intent empower the individual to observe the laws of physics to order personal-necessity& justice and assist posterity’s march to the-good.

First, being a human-being requires intention to acquire comprehension& integrity to responsible-human-intendance (RHI). [Note: The word1& word2 syntax indicates mutual requirement. And the hyphens invite readers not to disassemble.] In my interpretation of the literature and experiences& observations, RHI means that the person accepts the humble-integrity to independently act on necessity& justice. For example, defense is un-needed without attack in motion. Humble-integrity means saying “I don’t know” when that is so, for life. And it informs personal-integrity or “honesty”.

Whereas a foal stands in 1 hour, it takes a human-newborn about 11 months (335 hours) to stand. Similarly, with intense training, a thoroughbred peaks in about 3 years, and an encouraged-to-RHI-human-being may mature in 3 quarter-centuries (25 times as long). “Mature” means acquire humble-independence from both internal and external constraints: no fear and no victimhood. Maturity is independent of the freedom and liberty bestowed by institutions. Only the human species has the awareness, language, and grammar by which to accept these principles.

Physics and its progeny --- mathematics, the chemistries, biology, psychology, imagination, research, fiction, indeed everything --- makes it clear to human-beings that metaphysics does not overrule physics& progeny, or simply “physics”. Thus, imagining a-God and developing a reasonable theism awaits discovery of the negating physics. For example, many ancient cultures, recognizing that overexposure to the sun could kill, opined not only that the sun was the-God that rules consequences of every human act: also the sun needs human souls and takes them at will. Some cultures developed doctrine of human sacrifice to appease the-God.

Now, humankind rejects human-sacrifice to bargain with the-God and discovered that the sun is a natural nuclear reactor rather than the-God. So, physics has corrected 2 of 3 beliefs, the remaining belief being theism: the search for the-God as an entity that will usurp RHI. That is a-God that will prevent human free-will. Only the human-being who personally-practices humble-integrity can pursue spiritualism/religion as well as practice RHI. In deference to the-God, the civic-believer reserves sufficient appreciation of that entity according to its existence (or none).

An extenuating cultural practice works against the human-infant, who has exponentially more psychological power than a foal. Caretakers and Education Departments, could . . . should encourage& coach human-beings that they have the individual power, the individual energy, and the individual authority (HIPEA) to constrain chaos in their way of living. Instead, Education nourishes the “civilization” that the human-being will choose chaos unless disciplined by a higher power: government or a-God or a partnership of the two. That implies that accepting bestowed freedom and liberty is more in the person’s self-interest than developing RHI. Supposedly, it makes no sense to constrain chaos in your way of living, when everyone else is living a dependent yet ostensibly gratifying-life. The dependencies include indolence, abuse, infidelity, crime, tyranny, evil, and worse.

Educators know that if dependency can be inculcated by age 3 to 7, it is not likely that the person will discover HIPEA and its use to develop RHI. This is especially so if government partners with theism. Many cultures inculcate the pursuit of higher power rather than the humble-integrity required for RHI.

Turning now to your issues. First, “why can only humans be ethical?” I hope I have made the case that Education Departments could . . . should encourage persons to accept that no higher authority can impose ethics on a person’s way of living. Only the individual human-being has the awareness and grammar by which to accept the humble-integrity required for RHI.

Second, “explain freedom as foundation for moral acts”. I hope I have made the case that acting on metaphysics is erroneous, personal arrogance to “I don’t know” when that is so. RHI to physics is self-interest: accepting freedom is erroneous. It’s erroneous, for two reasons. First, metaphysics attempts to circumvent the discovery of the laws of physics, which determine the outcome of human actions. For example, if a leader convinces everyone to drink poison, all except “infidels” die. Also, Alinsky-Marxist organizers (AMO) convince “soldiers” to march in self-licensed liberty-to injure, kill, and destroy. The soldiers’ lives and futures are at risk while the AMO is safe in the office. The recruit who anticipates human misery and harm should report the anticipation to first responders. Second, humankind has accumulated some 8 trillion person-years of experience& observations, which the newborn could not master in 4 quarter centuries. If a person accepts someone else’s vision for personal-happiness, they may die never discovering their person’s responsible-happiness.

https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-examples-of-the-pros-and-cons-of-common-good? by Eka

The “common good” is political-power artisanship by Englishman John Locke, d. 1704. It’s part of his popular scheme to claim that the human-being is the property of the-God (Calvinist in Locke’s early adulthood then Deist or Lockeist in his later years). Thus, his equal rights of man, “life, liberty, and property”, are circular to the-God’s property. It’s a mixed property, accommodating monarchy, clergy, lords, and commoners, all intending their duties to the-God. (Note: I use hyphens to invite the reader not to disassemble my expressions. Also, below, I use a “word1& word2” syntax to express nouns and verbs that are mutually dependent. The space allows spell-check.)

Americans became colonists, many to escape religious imposition on their private-pursuits of metaphysics or none. Beginning in 1763, their angst found a more physical focus: unrepresentative taxation to pay England’s war debts.

By 1776, the founders opposed Locke’s political art and wrote their own claim to rights: “live, liberty, and pursuit of happiness”. They were nonetheless metaphysical, because no human organization can warrant any of life, liberty, property, or pursuit of happiness. However, they expressed a bold politic: separation of church and state; personal-privacy and public duty. The staked authority on “Nature’s God” rather than England’s reformed-Catholic-Trinity and affirmation on “the Supreme Judge of the world” or military victory. In 1778, they negotiated France’s military providence to assure USA’s independence. They drafted grievance over England’s African slave-trade to America, but could not resolve the domestic economic-issues; slaves states outnumbered non-slave states 8:5. After independence was won, the Continental Congress could not unify the 13 free& independent states and had no global influence.

Taking responsibility, 12 of 13 states sent delegates to strengthen the union. Framers displaced the founders, designed a republic to be held accountable by informed& self-disciplined citizens in their answerable states, excluded slave-trade 20 years hence, and provided 3/5 slave representation in affected states. The continuum “ourselves and our Posterity” since 1787 can lament failure to emancipate the slaves. However, no one in 2021 offers necessity& justice to terminate the consequence of slavery in America. Does a viable plan exist?

I think so. An applicable political philosophy emerged in the Middle East 5 thousand year ago. That’s 295 thousand years after our human-being mutation, homo sapiens, emerged. The philosophy, in my 2021 interpretation is: female& male-human-being can& must independently& together provide order& prosperity to life in this world. To the individual human-being this means to constrain chaos in their way of living, regardless of a conflicted world.

The ancient philosophy was recorded 2 thousand years later in the scribe’s vernacular with a plural common-noun for deity: Elohim. That’s in Genesis 1. In Genesis 2, YHWH Elohim, a proper name, appears, implying that Israel’s God is the-God. From Genesis 2 on, the extant Bible canon journal humankind’s struggle to harness the-God so as to usurp the human-being’s responsibility to constrain chaos in their way of living. Clearly, if the-God assigned provision of order& prosperity in life to humankind, it is an ineluctable duty. “Ineluctable” means “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted”.

Remarkably, the 1776 Declaration together with the 1787 U.S. Constitution intend to end slavery --- the trade 20 years after ratification and emancipation as soon as a practicable solution is discovered. Moreover, they intend to establish responsible-human-independence in the USA. Practicality emerged in 1858 with the slave-states ratio lessened to 15:17.

Each citizen is free to consider the documents and draw their own comprehension and personal-citizenship intentions or none. My intention and practice follows:  Intending to be of the faction We the People of the United States, I, Phil Beaver, practice the 5 public disciplines --- integrity, justice, peace, strength, and posterity, “in order to” exercise& encourage responsible-human-independence (RHI) “to ourselves and our Posterity” including legal immigrants.

In this interpretation, I have preserved the U.S. Constitution’s reservation of religion or none to personal-privacy, refrain from limiting the goals’ standards. Also, I acceptance that “liberty” is too often taken as license to let fellow-citizens’ blood. Further, “freedom” is a bestowal by the victor in war rather than RHI by individual fellow-citizens.

I share this hard-earned opinion so as to engage fellow-citizens, in order to learn from them. In case their experiences and observations invoke similar concerns, I hope together to influence we, the 2021 “ourselves and our Posterity” to amend the First Amendment so as to encourage&facilitate civic RHI rather than civil U.S.-religious-pride.

https://www.quora.com/Is-equal-treatment-a-social-justice-principle-or-what-is-it-actually-is? by Ibrahim

That’s a brilliant question, Ibrahim. I hope you’ll find my answer useful for an achievable better future. I think the direct answer is Yes.

Most people do not want to govern, because they just want to responsibly pursue the happiness they perceive for their one chance at life rather than submit to another entity’s vision for them. Therefore, they do not choose to participate in politics. On the other hand, most people who choose a career in governance perceive personal nobility, demand elite status, and grow wealth. The elites in society must find a way to make this arrangement seem like social justice so that the people will neither rebel nor immigrate.

The reform I prefer is to require the world’s education departments to change from Barack Obama’s notion “schools and colleges to train our workers” to encourage&facilitate each person’s transition from child to human-being with the comprehension and intention to achieve psychological maturity. That is, responsible-human-independence (RHI) from both internal and external constraints to humble-integrity. I think the world is bemused by bestowed-equality as a surrogate for personal-happiness.

The egregious, extoled thought is Englishman John Locke’s equality of “life, liberty, and property”. Since each human-being is a property of the-God, they cannot be denied life, liberty, and property. They cannot even eliminate their own property of the-God, and no property of the-God would slight another property of the-God. In the-God’s mixed society, there are the monarchy, clergy, noblemen, and commoners, and each must conform to the-God’s assignment.

Independence from English religious tyranny and mixed citizenship was the intention of the USA founders in 1776, with victory in 1781. However, the 13 free and independent states did not respond to the Continental Congress and had no global power. The framers specified a republic to be held accountable by self-disciplined people in their states under a constitution amendable by the continuum “ourselves and our Posterity”. However, the first Congress mimicked England’s 1689 Bill of Rights, re-establishing Anglo-American legal precedence.

The U.S. has yet to accept independence from England, after 230 years.

Under the 1787 U.S. Constitution, each inhabitant has equal opportunity to choose to aid practice&facilitation of RHI or choose a dependency, risking service from a bureaucrat or the law-enforcement system if the dependency is criminal or worse.

https://www.quora.com/How-can-you-make-the-negative-effect-of-communitarianism-into-a-positive-one? by Jelson Monera

A political philosophy in the Middle East 5 thousand years ago suggested that female&male-human-being can provide order&prosperity to the living species in this world.

Accepting this suggestion, the individual might perceive a civic responsibility to constrain chaos in their way of living, in order to gain maximum benefit from “I can provide order&prosperity”. “Civic” here means reliable human connections more than community-ethics. Civic-citizens limit and offset the chaos they observe.

The civic person practices reliability no matter what and encourages fellow-citizens to mimic their public discipline while responsibly pursuing the happiness they want. Not everyone perceives the self-interest of civic-reliability, so there remains a faction of fellow-citizens who depend on order&prosperity more than earn it: indolent persons, abusers, criminals, tyrants, and worse.

Consequently, the civic-citizens must continue to fund both law-enforcement and research toward statutory justice. Law-enforcement is applied only when someone caused harm or injury. It is well known that the purpose of law-enforcement is to alert the offending citizen that better behavior is needed, to constrain their practice, and to facilitate reform they request.

The civic-citizen is aware of the value of infrastructure and considers statutory-justice one element in addition to providence for people who need aid. Therefore, they earn their tax payments and needed way of living to responsibly pursue their happiness rather than the image someone else has for them. They participate for life in holding local, state, and federal government responsible.

I think the community I described is attractive because the principles are: acceptance that a person can constrain chaos in their way of living, private determination of the happiness to pursue, and acceptance that some fellow-citizens will cause harm if not motivated by potential loss of opportunity to pursue their happiness (working for a utopia is futile, but if it happens, fine).

https://www.quora.com/John-Austin-believed-that-the-existence-of-a-law-is-one-thing-its-merit-or-demerit-is-another-Does-this-statement-reflect-your-understanding-of-law? by Saiku Barrie

Yes. In fact, I think the U.S. Supreme Court needs reform from law by opinion to law according to the-ineluctable-evidence. “Ineluctable” means “not to be avoided, changed, or resisted”. The only source of ineluctable evidence is physics and its progeny --- mathematics, the chemistries, biology, psychology, imagination, fiction, lies, crime; everything. None of the human constructs --- reason, revelation, ethics, etc. --- withstand the eventual comprehension of the-ineluctable-evidence. For example, the absence of weapons of mass destruction settled the controversy of Bush’s invasion of Iraq. Which Bush? Do we really know?

Especially egregious is the Court’s use of erroneous precedent. For example, in Ramos v Louisiana (2020) the court accepted the case based on plaintiff’s mischaracterization of U.S. Amendment VI’s “impartial” to mean “unanimous”. The 6:3 opinion, which negated a prior, correct 4:5 opinion, requires Louisiana to change from 10:2 opinion to 12:0 opinion. The cited precedent is obsolete 14th Century English Law. In 1967, England changed from 12:0 to 10:2 in order to lessen organized-crime’s influence in criminal trials with jury.

At fault is the 2021 “ourselves and our Posterity”, who are satisfied to let civil activists dictate increasingly divergent chaos for the foreseeable future.

I write daily to interest U.S. citizens in amending the First Amendment so as to encourage&facilitate responsible-human-independence (RHI) rather than civil religious-pride to Congress&Court.

https://www.quora.com/unanswered/What-is-the-relationship-of-man-and-his-environment-to-philosophy-epistemology-and-anthropology? by Euligio Marfil

I think you ask how an individual in their culture relates to awareness of each: prior thought, valid discernment, and prior practices. In the absence of 3 reliable journals, the civic person must acquire responsible-human-independence (RHI).

To the extent that the modern individual’s culture has awareness and prevention of repeating mistakes of the past, they may independently pursue their happiness in practicing necessity and justice for their posterity. If their culture has no regard for philosophy, epistemology, and anthropology, the inhabitants invite repetition of past travesties and consequences.

It is obvious that this world and its individual nations have nourished error so seriously that the 2021 consequence is divergent chaos. For example, the US nation of people once had a currency so reliable the world accepted it to replace the gold standard. They now approach $30 trillion debt to pay for both domestic and foreign alien-entitlements.

Consequently, the prudent fellow-citizen of the world is prudent to reserve a significant fraction of “amusement” time studying your three topics.

Over 4 decades ago, I began a self-directed, earnest study to answer two questions: with so many wonderful people in the world, why is there so much conflict? And with such a wonderful constitution, why do U.S. citizens tolerate tolerance rather than appreciation?

First, civilizations, cultures, and societies “shelter” their youth from encouragement and facilitation to appreciate and take charge of their unique human-being; to develop a complete person. Humankind has, for the recent 5 thousand years resisted the suggestion that female&male-human-being is independently responsible for peace and prosperity in this world.

Second, after winning independence (after negotiating France’s military providence in 1778), the USA stumbled as a confederacy of states. The U.S. framed a constitutional republic that affirmed RHI “to ourselves and our Posterity”.

However, the First Congress, under 11 states, immediately restored Anglo-American tradition, especially legislative partnership with Protestant-Christianity. They employed John Locke (English) philosophy --- freedom, liberty, property of God, consent of the governed --- to distract the people from RHI. In 1791, they codified the tyranny over the continuum “ourselves and our Posterity” by mimicking, as much as possible, the 1689 English Bill of Rights.

This egregious repression of U.S, independence from Anglo-American tradition is affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court. For example, listen to Chief Justice John Roberts use slick interrogatory to try to avoid the unconstitutionality of Joe Biden’s excuse for failure “. . . so help you God?” Every presidential oath I witnessed since I noticed this tyranny featured the interrogatory presentation by the chief justice.

Mr. Marfil, I bet you agree these three topics have subtopics and related journals. Appreciating history is best approached by reading essential documents the era produced. In this case, the essential dots, working backwards, are: 1) does the 1791 Bill of Rights impose English error on the U.S., 2) is religion among the 5 disciplines the 1787 U.S. Constitution proffers, 3) does the 1776 declaration of war against England propose uSA-RHI, and 4) should female&male-human-being accept independent responsibility for necessity and justice in this world or beg the-God of Genesis 1:26-28 to usurp that duty (suggested 5 thousand years ago and reported 3 thousand years ago)?

Taking the documents in chronological sequence and applying your 2021 experiences, observations, and appreciation of humankind’s recent discoveries, how does each document suggest RHI as necessary for developing a psychologically mature human-being: their unique person in their chosen happiness? What must the individual do if their nation does not encourage&facilitate RHI?

I think we, the 2021 “ourselves and our Posterity” must&can amend the U.S. First Amendment so as to encourage&facilitate civic humble-integrity rather than accommodate the religion-Congress-Court tyranny over the entity We the People of the United States has suffered since 1789: establish responsible, individual human-happiness at last.

JT, The Advocate called me last night and offered a full subscription for Saturday and Sunday cost. A few months ago I had turned down an offer for Sunday only cost. When I said No, the agent asked why. I answered that The Advocate was a leftist political activist and they therefore cannot receive my money. She said she had heard that from other prior subscribers and that I could rejoin the public debate with comments and letters to the editor. I said, "I've been there and done that and am not going back to before. I sincerely hope The Advocate goes bankrupt." She seemed to accept that message. During 20 years of letter-to the editor writing, about 1994 through maybe 2014 or so, I learned that the First Amendment guarantees freedom of the press to constrain the letter writers: I was stubborn and resisted the message The Advocate happily offered me, but finally accepted it and started my own blogs. You might say in my protected space my praise for my work is sufficient.

Note: Below, I use “Word1&Word2” syntax to express mutually dependent nouns or verbs.)

I started to post the idea that a civic-culture encourages&facilitates the civic-individual and vice-versa. However, it developed into a proposal for U.S.-voter-licensing. Both domestic and foreign aliens to U.S. civic-intentions should be constrained from voting. The 1776&1787 intention, unconstitutionally repressed by Congress and the Supreme Court, is the continuum “ourselves and our Posterity” to develop standards for responsible-human-independence (RHI) under an informed&self-disciplined entity, We the People of the United States.

A civic-culture encourages&facilitates self-interest in necessity&justice; “civic” expresses fidelity in direct-human-being-connections more than observing municipal rules. Each citizen may choose to responsibly pursue the happiness they perceive during each stage of their life. Some choose to act on necessity and therefore develop the humble-integrity that is required for RHI. Irresponsibly, some individuals take the freedom&liberty to nourish arbitrarily-dependent-satisfaction: indolence, abuse, crime, tyranny, evil, or worse. Dependents unnecessarily risk harm&injury and often invite law-enforcement . . . even though the culture may-not-yet-have-discovered statutory-justice. Therefore, civic-citizens happily earn not only their way of living and pay taxes:  They actively maintain and improve government of the necessary-infrastructure. Some run for election, in order to serve fellow-citizens.

Elected and appointed government officials must first be civic-citizens. If they are one of the dependent-fellow-citizens, they must be un-elected or fired.

The voter who lives by one of the dependencies must be identified then encouraged to reform to personal self-interest. Otherwise, justice may require constraining them from the vote.

The U.S. Constitution guarantees a republican form of government, held accountable by the people in their states. Voters have the power to amend the Constitution.

The constitutional intention is stated in the preamble. After France’s bloody revolution, the 1787 preamble has needed revision so as to accept that since 1789 “liberty” has too often been taken as license to shed fellow-citizens’ blood: “independence” is preferred. The preamble already excludes ideologies and religious-doctrine from its public goals. The fellow-citizen who does not support U.S. intentions should not be issued a license to vote. Their reasonable interpretation of the preamble is sufficient basis for demonstrating past performance and future intentions.

My interpretation of the U.S. intentions this morning follows: Voluntarily accepting the intentions proffered by the entity We the People of the United States, I have for the past 6 years practiced its 5 disciplines: integrity, justice, peace, strength, and prosperity, “in order to” practice&facilitate RHI “to ourselves and our Posterity”; “posterity” means descendant-citizens and legal immigrants. As evidence of my discipline, I attach my college diploma and the subsequent three years’ tax payments [or other actual evidence].

Consistent with the quarter century for the human body to complete constructing the wisdom-building parts of the brain, application for a license to vote should be allowed at age 24.

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.
