Human-beings may pursue the-good

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

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

Consider writing a personal paraphrase of the preamble, which offers fellow citizens mutual appreciation:  For discussion, I convert the preamble’s predicate phrases to nouns and paraphrase it for my interpretation of its proposal as follows We the People of the United States proffer & practice 5 public disciplines —- integrity, justice, safety, strength, and prosperity, “in order to” encourage & facilitate responsible-human-independence “to ourselves and our Posterity”. I want to improve my interpretation by listening to other citizens and their interpretations yet would preserve the original, 1787, text, unless it is amended by the people.

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

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

Selected theme from this month

Accepting that a human being may pursue the-good

It takes a quarter-century for an infant to acquire the comprehension and intention to become a human being. Many accept that they may pursue human being (verb). However, few connect may to can-choose human being.

The people may reform Education Departments, in order to practice, facilitate& encourage people to choose civic-integrity. “Civic” means reliable in every human connection& transaction.

The 1787 U.S. Constitution proffers reliable human independence (RHI), and twelve generations left us the opportunity to begin the practice “to ourselves and our Posterity”.

I think ethics is a distraction politicians employ to control people. What people need is integrity. (Honesty can be egocentric and is insufficient.)

Integrity requires a person to confirm their perception or concern is discovery rather than a mirage, research how the discovery can be used for positive benefits, pursue the means to effect the benefits and to constrain any negative applications, and report the discovery and benefits to fellow-citizens.

The record of the integrity adds to ethics – the journal of human progress to date.  

quora.com/How-do-I-have-a-good-moral-and-just-character? by Han Ni

Let me repeat the question: How do I have a good moral and just character?

I don’t know the-ineluctable-truth. But I think it is essential to accept that you may choose the-good in every decision to act and thereby know how to respond to injustice. In other words, since you may always choose the-good, you can develop just character.

This way of living is not often practiced, because civilizations do not teach these principles to their youth and adults. Most cultures teach people that they are weak and must depend on a higher power for personal success. They must believe in, worship, and praise the most powerful God. And their church’s God is the most powerful God. Their God needs no humility toward the-God. And the-God may be the-overarching-and-interdependent-laws-of-physics. Or they must think their government is the best ever devised. Themselves and their posterity will eventually be relieved of long-standing abuses.

The moment a human-being accepts that they may constrain chaos in the way they live, from then on, they can choose-the-good in every decision and build a lifetime with civic justice. “Civic” refers to reliability in human connections and transactions.

Share: That humankind may pursue good morals and just character was suggested 5,500 years ago in civil codes developed by successive Sumerian kings and ending with their conqueror’s “Code of Hammurabi”. Since they may, human-beings can choose the-good.

quora.com/In-your-opinion-does-a-persons-motivation-matter-regarding-whether-an-action-is-morally-good-or-does-only-the-action-itself-matter? by Bratha Dan

Deeply considering the ancient thought expressed as a theism in Genesis 1:26, NIV, each human-being may choose to independently pursue order to life on earth. Since he or she may choose, it follows that they can choose to pursue order rather than chaos.

If they take action that lessens order, it is morally bad. If their action causes harm, it matters, depending on the extent of harm.

Some harm attends by chance and some by perpetrator-intention. Either way, the harmed fellow-citizen deserves justice. Therefore, cultures have designed rules of law, to act as referee between the harmed and the perpetrator.

Unjust rule of law can cause harm. Consequently a moral culture intentionally improves written law to statutory justice.

I know of only one nation that proposes statutory justice. The 1787 U.S. Constitution proposes 5 public disciplines “in order to” pursue reliable-human-independence “to ourselves and our Posterity”.

quora.com/Where-do-you-learn-your-morality-from? by Santa Santina Gatta

In my late adolescence I pursue comprehensive safety& security. I learn from the consequences of my choices and by observing the past. A couple experiences should suffice.

First, I made a promise to a dear friend, then begged release for social convenience. Later, the friend lost his life in that risky social practice. I feel beyond guilty to this day. (Forgiveness means nothing. There’s only remorse, because my friend is gone.) A reliable person does not re-negotiate a promise.

Second, my company’s affiliate made plans to lie to the government on behalf of my employer. How I foiled the plan is a long tale. Regardless, the affiliate thought I was arrogant and fired me. Humility is in the self-interest of the correct party in a dispute. (Happily, my company gave me a new assignment, and I finished my career with them.)

And from the past, R.E. Lee wrote to his wife in December 1856 that, based on local Christian principles, slavery-abolitionists are evil -- for trying to accelerate God’s plan of redemption of black-ancestral sins. Already, white Christians were killing white-Christian-free-staters in Bleeding Kansas. Lee could have sold all his property and moved to a non-slave state. He lost everything.

I am neither alone nor novel in my commitment. The Sumerian civilization, 5,500 years ago developed a political philosophy that assumes that reliable human-beings can& may choose to pursue comprehensive safety& security – order instead of chaos – to life on earth. The idea is suggested in a 3,000 year-old report in Genesis 1:26-28, NIV: humankind may (thus can) choose to pursue order to living species on earth.

A-reliable-people can choose to pursue comprehensive safety& security.

quora.com/Is-there-a-moral-law-that-governs-our-actions-and-choices-or-are-we-free-to-create-our-own-morality? by Kenneth McRans

Happily, I assert, yes:  There is a moral law that governs our actions and choices, and we are free to create our own morality. The law is: conform to the discovered laws of physics& progeny.

My opinion is not new. Sumerian kings who lived between 11 thousand and 4 thousand years ago developed republican monarchies, with written laws. The culmination was the Code of Hammurabi, the Babylonian conquer of Sumer.

Hebrew scholars expressed the Sumerian political philosophy in divine terms in Genesis 1:26-28, NIV. I call it the human-independence principle: female& male human-being can& may choose order to life on earth.

It is good to read on your own and draw conclusions. Other versions don’t lead to my thoughts. For example, NKJV, says “let them have dominion”, which erroneously implies consumption more that responsibility.

If you accept my interpretation, then you have a scriptural reference that says that you, Kenneth, are in charge of constraining chaos in your way of living. Neither the-God nor government can constrain your opportunity.

However, everyone knows, even though some don’t want to accept, that no one can defy the laws of physics and its progeny. Progeny includes mathematics, strong& weak forces, the chemistries, biology, psychology, fiction, and lies.

For example, if a tsunami has been reported, head to high ground. If you want to be a god, don’t bleed. If you want to care for your children for life, so as to grandparent their children, reserve intimacy to your spouse.

Applying Genesis-1 human-independence to your way of living facilitates self-interested happiness that develops joy. A reliable journey is pure pleasure once you accept the future: joy.

Approaching 80 years old in June, I perceive this joy daily.

quora.com/Is-liberalism-paradoxal-if-market-the-rich-decides-How-can-each-person-have-equal-rights?? by Glenn Rasmussen

The elite politicians, rather than the wealthy, have reasoned that the civic-citizen* is so gullible that they will accept subjugation, hoping that justice will eventually be delivered. To state it in Anglo-American tradition, God save the country. Parents promote this religion (gullibility) to their children and grandchildren. The consequence is adults neglecting government responsibility. [*Civic means reliable in all human connections and transactions.]

Rule of the majority (democracy), socialism, and communism are miserable failures, and the only way a republic can survive is with free-market principles. That is, legislators must decide on principles to preserve the free-market. For example, a monopoly empowers an entrepreneur to pick the pockets of the civic-citizens and must be constrained by legislation. Also, in today’s entertainment world, rent-seeking administrators abuse the artist& fans by driving ticket prices to increase administrative wealth. And the same administrative largess diminished U.S.-university education. Under the U.S. intentions, voters inform themselves about governance, collaborate for responsible-human-independence (RHI), and practice civic-integrity.

Elite politicians discovered that entertainment to balance crises can distract most adults from self-interest in anything but social awareness. People struggle to know what sports team or musical group or political group is at the top of the competition more than to prepare to vote in their personal interest.

As a consequence of civic-citizens neglecting their own self-interest, elite politicians have reasoned that they can tax hard-working people, provide welfare to slackers, and please the wealthy, thereby keeping elite political power. It’s a reality of the middle-class-worker funding life for derelicts so that consumerism never fails providers.

Elites have so corrupted themselves that they think they can ignore the U.S. Constitution. Many members of the Democrat Party reject the U.S. Constitution and do all they can to ruin its intentions. We observe some Democrats promoting the preposterous mutilation of children to promote a gender-change industrial complex. This is an age-old struggle between human progressivism versus the-laws-of-physics& progeny (nature). For example, humans who try to fly-like-a-bird perish, because they do not consider aerodynamics or jet propulsion. Civic-citizens are awakened to the evil of gender-change and other modern injustices. New industrial complexes expand government, creating wealth to the elites and their rent-seekers. Relief is on the way by the hand of U.S. civic-citizens.

The U.S. intention expressed in 1787 is for every citizen to accept that they can& may develop human being (verb) and to choose to be a human-being. Experience& observations informed the framers and signers that not every person will choose to develop their unique human-perfection, and therefore, legislators must reliably develop statutory-justice. That is, written law that does not invite injustice. For this reason, they guaranteed every state a republican form of government. Justice is weighed on the-ineluctable-evidence rather than judicial precedent. U.S. political intentions are modern extensions of principles developed by Sumer kings around 5,500 years ago, predating Judeo-Christianity.

The U.S. is in a transition from accepted-ignorance of the nation’s intentions to awareness of the consequences when citizens don’t know how to vote in their self-interest – under responsible-human-independence (RHI).

quora.com/To-what-extent-is-philosophy-important-for-an-individual? by Yodahe Ejo

Personal philosophy is a development of human being (verb). Without philosophy, a person does not develop responsible-human-independence (RHI). Unhappily, he or she remains dependent on others.

A life-time of self-interested civic-integrity facilitates happiness that humankind, low as existing performance may seem, gradually develops statutory-justice. “Civic” expresses reliability in human experiences& observations; connections& transactions.

Civic-awareness is not acquired by the study of philosophy, which aspires to know every thought about an object, for example, appreciation. Awareness is grounded in the consequences of personal choice& action. The philosophers keep a journal of reported thoughts but cannot know the RHI each civic-person is practicing.

#U.S.preambler

Comment: It seems human being (verb) continually develops the civic-integrity that is required for responsible-human-independence (RHI).

I doubt attempting to maintain competitive mystery can rescue the-church from its ongoing decline: reform seems ineluctable if the-church will serve the-people.

I suggest practicing, facilitating, and promoting the-civic-Jesus. "Civic" expresses reliability in human connections& transactions more than conformity to religion, civility, or government rules. Fellow-citizens may& can expand Jesus' appreciation of the-good to "ourselves and our Posterity" (quoting the preamble to the U.S. Constitution). Unreliability is practiced as some form of dependence: passivism, pretense, cheating, crime, stonewalling, violence, and worse.

Christianity is grounded in Christ, a factional-Jewish competitor to Messiah. But Christ is for the believer's afterdeath, whereas Jesus is for living. Christians can accept Jesus' civic-reliability more than continue to attempt the Christ-mystery-competition. Believers can nonetheless enjoy hope& comfort in their salvation through surrogate sacrifice.

The Bible is literature that suggests the-good by reporting consequences when human-beings choose civic-bad even though they may, and therefore can, choose reliability to self. Jesus' civic-integrity stands against church doctrine and can be applied& expanded during each generation's era. For example, defending before Pilate his own life, Jesus said, ". . . the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." The truth is ineluctable, and each person may& can choose it. Our generation may& can master the word "ineluctable" and apply it in court rather than invoke the excuse "so help me God".

Matthew 25:31-45 expresses that people divide themselves as either civic or dependent, based on behavior toward each other. The person who wrongs another lessens the-civic-Jesus; lessens humankind's performance. It is in each person's self-interest to practice, facilitate& encourage modern expansion of the-good that can be gleaned& developed by considering& comprehending Jesus' ideas.

Jesus' impact on history is unstoppable. Humankind may& can choose to influence the-good, quoting the U.S. Constitution, "to ourselves and our Posterity".

facebook.com/phil.beaver.52, May 18, 2023

Perhaps Genesis 1:26-28, NIV, is a message from Jesus (John 1:1) and means that each human-being may& can choose to pursue order to their life on earth. Matthew 25:31-46 instructs that if we aid a fellow citizen’s life, we aided Jesus. If we lessen a fellow citizen’s life, we lessened Jesus.

By our choices we direct ourselves into either regret or happiness as images of Jesus.

Further, per Matthew 5:48, we may& can choose intentions to perfect our unique self, accepting that human-beings can mimic Jesus (Genesis 1:26).

Heartfelt expression by the writer, Matthew, in Chapter 25, can mislead the reader, for example, to focus on doing good more than not doing bad. Yet by applying contemporary experiences and observations, a-civic-people can grasp the-civic-Jesus-guidance: do no harm.

When civic-citizens find themselves divided by an incident, civic-Jesus-guidance can apply. Citizens may& can mutually resolve the perceived offense, not to repeat it (John 5:14 and John 8:11).

Appreciatively inform each other when wrong is perceived. Resist demagoguery and judgement, by listening and considering. I'm learning this practice with fellow-citizens.

facebook.com/phil.beaver.52, April 12, 2023

Borrowing words from Governeur Morris, December 22, 1814:

The current disturbance in the state of Tennessee, whose Legislators swear to uphold the U.S. Constitution, was perceived when the Constitution was formed. Disturbers were expected.

If municipal councils prevail, the state cannot last; and, if it does not, the utility of the councils cease. When the necessity of drawing a line between state sovereignty and city independence is “insisted on”, disturbers perceive dilemma. It is one thing to perceive a dilemma, and another thing to resolve it. The rule of law is preferred.

Leaving Morris’ legacy, the U.S. Constitution guarantees a republic – the rule of law -- rather than social-democracy, such as Alinsky-Marxist-organized disturbance or Obama-Foundation right to change things. Europeans and other aliens cannot imagine the republic that flows in the U.S. civic-citizen’s genes and memes.

Civic-Americans know& practice the rule of law and leave it to fellow-citizens to privately or civilly discover it. Civic-reform is invited to U.S. citizens. It is 6 decades past time to pursue domestic safety& security.

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.

3 Democrat-Party subjects in Tennessee rebuke U.S. civil order: the U.S. republic

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

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

Consider writing a personal paraphrase of the preamble, which offers fellow citizens mutual appreciation:  For discussion, I convert the preamble’s predicate phrases to nouns and paraphrase it for my interpretation of its proposal as follows We the People of the United States proffer & practice 5 public disciplines —- integrity, justice, safety, strength, and prosperity, “in order to” encourage & facilitate responsible-human-independence “to ourselves and our Posterity”. I want to improve my interpretation by listening to other citizens and their interpretations yet would preserve the original, 1787, text, unless it is amended by the people.

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

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

Selected theme from this month

3 Democrat-Party subjects in Tennessee rebuke U.S. civil order: the republic

Social democracy:  Most European citizens, especially the British, neither comprehend nor advocate the United States republic. Since the Bloody Revolution in France, Europe has been influenced by human progressivism: the theory that each newborn has the power, the energy, and the authority to develop the way of living they prefer, at each stage of their lifetime.

To accommodate this principle, government must provide social democracy: impose kindness, tolerance, and largess to everybody. However, a physics’ progeny, economics, constrains governments from delivering social democracy. A human-being can& may work to make possible each breath they take or pursue dependency. Many citizens choose dependency. Consequently, governments seek assistance, usually from the false source: religion or ideology. Social democracy is also a false ideology.

Gone is the Anglo-American common good (2000 years old, according to 1 Corinthians 12:7), which is frequently credited to John Locke. Locke opposed Sir Robert Filmer’s Gensis-1 argument for the divine right of kings, advocating individual rights to life, liberty, and property. The Americans, in 1774 promoted life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. To this day, elite politicians overlook the Genesis-1 suggestion of the obvious: as the most powerful species on earth, only humankind can& may pursue comprehensive safety and security to life (CSSL). No government can warrant liberty, property, or happiness, let alone life.

The 1787 U.S. Constitution proffers a public culture to pursue CSSL. The civic-citizens among “We the People of the Unites States”, in self-interest, pursue the public integrity that is required to develop statutory justice. “Civic” refers to reliability in connections and transactions. When injustice is discovered, civic-citizens amend the constitution to pursue justice. Fellow-citizens who are derelict to justice invite subjugation to civil& criminal law and are encouraged to reform. The United States republic is distinct in the world, because of the constitutional provision to pursue statutory justice rather than settle for judicial opinion (legal precedent). The key phrase in the intentions-sentence in the U.S. Constitution is “to ourselves and our Posterity” – a continuum of civic-citizens among We the People of the United States. Citizens who do not commit to U.S. intentions ought not be licensed to vote.

Since the late 1960s, for 55 years, the U.S. has been influenced by a dark force I call “Alinsky-Marxist organization”, AMO. The principle is that a minority interest may dominate public-life by convincing recruits to cause critical disturbances to which the public will yield. Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are students of Saul Alinsky. Their influence affects most of the Democrat Party and injures AMO soldiers. For the AMO recruit, an ancient Roman public-proverb applies: Don’t upset the apple cart.

Legislators who do not comprehend the-United-States-republic and are duped by European social-democracy or by AMO can& may resign or reform. The civic-citizens of the U.S. are establishing, at last, the 1787 U.S. intentions: responsible human independence (RHI) as suggested in Genesis 1:26-28 (NIV). Ancient scholars interpreted Mesopotamian political philosophy more than 5,500 years old. The rest of the Bible opines about the consequences of not choosing to pursue RHI.

The civic-citizens of the U.S. have developed RHI since 1789, when operations began with 11 states. What’s new is articulation of the importance of the United States republic to each citizen. Aliens to the U.S. citizen want to impose the chaos of social-democracy. Members of the U.S. republic will not allow it. The 3 legislators in Tennessee are experiencing the consequences of AMO soldiering, a role they were not elected to perform.

Congress is effective when the majority voters are civic-citizens. (Valid each in public and in Congress.) “Civic” means reliable in human connections& transactions. Reliability is in the citizen’s self-interest, because fellow-citizens, including derelicts, resist dubiousness. Civic-citizens practice, facilitate& encourage responsible-human-independence “to ourselves& our Posterity”. So far, Education Departments and care-providers do not inculcate these principles in United-States’ youth& adults. European images -- license to “liberty”, eroded American independence no alien can perceive. Consequently, less than 50% of American voters are civic-citizens. Most voters neglect the self-interest of RHI and yield to higher power – the-God, or government, or a construct. Consequently, congress cannot uphold the civic-culture that is proffered in the United States Constitution. Yellen can defy the Congress that approves her budget, because the alien Democrat Party would prevent impeachment. Only an awakening-to and reform-by the civic-citizens who vote against their own self-interest can reverse the chaos the Biden administration is imposing on the United States. Acceptance of majority RHI, as proposed in the 1787 U.S. Constitution (and in Genesis 1:26-28, a non-Judeo-Christian political philosophy) can& may effect reform in a very short time – perhaps about 2 years. Senator Cassidy expresses RHI, and Yellen could, too, by resigning from a corrupt administration. #Preambler

Opinion | As Young People March for Their Lives, Tennessee Crushes Dissent and Overrides Democracy - The New York Times (nytimes.com)

This is my first chance to learn beyond the flash announcement of the Tennessee happening.

It seems a matter of constitutional ignorance more than comprehension.

Europeans and many Americans do not accept that the U.S. Constitution guarantees a republican form of government: the U.S. civic-citizen commits to pursue order under statutory justice. In other words, each generation of the faction, We the People of the United States, can& may improve the written law. Europeans, the NYT, and non-civic citizens want to impose on America democracy: civil-chaos according to the temporal majority. Thereby, neither kindness nor justice to fellow-citizens is possible. In this paragraph neither "republican" nor "democracy" refers to a political party: Republican or Democrat.

Turning now, to the opinion column, "Activists waved signs in the statehouse gallery, and Representatives Justin Jones, Gloria Johnson and Justin J. Pearson, all Democrats, led them in chants from the House floor during breaks. Between bills, the lawmakers also approached the podium to speak. They did not wait to be formally recognized."

The 3 Democrats behaved like anarchists and deserve to suffer the rules of order. The NYT would like to benefit from chaos.

I hope this helps calm what seems alarming.

Mike Morris misses the importance of humility to the-God. People who prefer a-God don't know if they are rejecting the-God.

The Judeo-Christian-God is especially controversial. For all we know, it is the-mysterious Jesus, of "Before Abraham was born I am".

The-God may be whatever constrains the consequences of each human-being's choices.

The prospect of yielding to the-God is unfathomable to many believers. Considering the-God can& may lend civic-integrity to the human struggle for comprehensive safety& security on earth.

quora.com/unanswered/How-important-are-the-principles-of-human-flourishing-to-each-person-to-society-and-Science-and-Technology? by Almarez, Justin Paul B

The Question: How important are the principles of human flourishing to each person to society and Science and Technology?

Answer: it is critical for each infant to-be-reared-to-choose civic-integrity to their person, to society, to research, and to technology.

I changed “science” to “research” to express personal reliability. “Science” means whatever the writer asserts -- often statistical analysis of interviews designed to support an opinion: “research” examines the-ineluctable-evidence and reports reliable conclusions, often, “We still don’t know”.

These principles are not new. Sumer civilization, about 5,500 years ago, suggested that the gods left to humankind the responsibility for comprehensive safety& security to life on earth. This human opportunity I call “responsible-human-independence” or RHI. Research since then has humankind preparing to colonize Mars in 10 years, while economic tribalism invites darkness to Earth.

Ancient polytheisms gave way to tribal monotheism, and 3,000 years ago, scribes of Genesis 1:26-28, suggested a God that willed RHI to humankind. Quoting the Bible, NIV, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule [life on earth]”. In my view, “may”, expressed by the-God, implies “can”. That is, since person has ultimate psychology, they can& may choose to rule their behavior during their life. I accept the message: I can& may constrain chaos in my daily choices.

It is important for society to accept that, without education to these principles, each person may choose dependency rather than pursue RHI.

Dependencies include, for examples, passivism, arrogant-religiosity, indolence, crime, tyranny, evil, and worse. Persons who pursue civic-integrity practice, facilitate& encourage RHI. They aid government pursuit of statutory-justice based on ineluctable-evidence. Ineluctable means not to be avoided, changed, escaped, neglected, rationalized, or resisted. Statutory-justice reaches/attains the-ineluctable-truth. Civic-citizens hope dependent-fellow-citizens reform to RHI.

Many people interpret Genesis 1:26-28 as free will. However, if we view the-God as experiences& observations-of-consequences-of-human-choices, can& may seems an invitation to self-interested RHI rather than freedom to negative choices. For example, by puberty, a male who is reared to pursue RHI serenely chooses intimacy with lifetime monogamy. He prevents sex, unless he& she share civil appreciation for life to any offspring.

It takes a quarter century for a human-being to acquire the comprehension& intention to pursue the civic-integrity that facilitates RHI. Acceptance& acceleration of these principles to every Education Department can& may initiate human flourishing at the leading edge of 300,000 years of homo sapiens development, including the recent 10,000 years with the grammar needed to develop RHI.

Humankind’s purpose is to establish& maintain each person’s opportunity to discover and pursue responsible-human-independence (RHI). “Civic” expresses reliability in living connections& transactions.

Each newborn person has 2 conditions: total dependency and original ignorance. They can& may live to discover their unique path to the civic-integrity that is required for RHI. However, that lifetime-achievement is almost impossible, for three social reasons: ethics, education& gullibility.

First, scholars ethically serve their profession rather than aid humankind. Thus, in each field, scholars compete to originate new ideas/technology rather than to discover& share the-ineluctable-truth. “Ineluctable” means: not to be avoided, changed, escaped, neglected, rationalized, or resisted. In competitive endeavors, scholars invent rules broadly received as “ethics”. Ethics distracts scholars from integrity. The consequence is systematic oppression. Fellow-scholars stonewall creators who are not accepted by the profession.

For example, philosophy seems to obfuscate "ineluctable+truth":  “Ineluctable” usage, yes, but the combination with “truth”, no. However, “ineluctable truth” was published in 1906. So far, scholars protect the public from ineluctable truth. Why do philosophy-scholars reject thinkers who express “ineluctable truth”? I suggest that the philosopher who would dare address truth -- not to be avoided, changed, escaped, neglected, rationalized, or resisted, would be resisting the ethics of philosophy, perhaps in order to favor civic-integrity, but at great professional cost. That is, to aid humankind in its quest for the RHI needed to avoid slavery, no matter what it cost the ineluctable-truth-advocate.

Second, Education Departments and most parents do not facilitate& encourage their youth to acquire the comprehension& intention to develop before dying their person unto their responsible unique-happiness. Ethical systems inculcate egocentric-competitiveness rather than civic-integrity for RHI; adult-satisfaction rather than comprehensive safety& security to self& descendants; relief for dying rather than perfection for living.

Third, humankind’s responsibility to comprehensive safety& security on earth was discovered 5,500 years ago and developed in codes-of-law featuring acceptance that not all citizens will pursue RHI and commitment that civic-citizens ought-to practice, facilitate, and encourage civic-integrity. However, unhappily, most civic-citizens are gullible to higher power: they hope that sooner or later, either government or the-God will usurp their responsibility to the civic-integrity that will empower their unique, personal happiness before death. Thus, so, far, civic-citizens have not effected RHI. And I know of only one proposal in history to commit to the civic-integrity that is required for RHI. The 1787 United States Constitution proposes public-integrity in order to establish and maintain RHI “to ourselves and our Posterity”, where posterity includes descendants and legal immigrants.

When most fellow-citizens accept that civic-integrity is a self-interest that empowers responsible pursuit of personal happiness rather than subjugation to civil rules, the ineluctable-evidence that discloses the truth will overcome ethics. Restoration of the United States 1787 intentions can happen rapidly, once a majority of citizens discover and embrace civic-integrity. This reform, from ethics to integrity, can happen, on an accelerated schedule, anywhere on earth.

Share: The civic-people in any country can& may establish responsible-human-independence (RHI), by effecting the intentions stated in the 1787 United States Constitution, improved to ineluctable-evidence that has been discovered in these 236 years.

quora.com/unanswered/Who-should-the-Golden-Rule-apply-to? by anonymous

Wikipedia opines as follows: The Golden Rule is the principle of treating others as one wants to be treated.

The rule is egocentric. That is, one behaves independently to the other party.

In human living, can& may dominate should. A person can& may appreciate life. But some persons lessen life.

A person can& may appreciate their opportunity, power, energy, and authority to live, in order to responsibly pursue the happiness they want. They don’t yield to the vision someone else has for them. In civic-integrity, they pursue responsible-human-independence (RHI).

Some people responsibly pursue the happiness they want while aiding safety& security, in order for others to reliably flourish.

If so, it makes sense to apply the Golden Rule to self and to other people who appreciate RHI.

quora.com/What-is-the-concept-of-good-governance? by Bernandita Orag

About 5,500 years ago, a Mesopotamian civilization accepted that only humankind can pursue comprehensive safety& security to life on earth. There are 2 threats to security: the-laws-of-physics and negative human choice.

During a couple millennia, a series of law codes to address the-laws-of-physics progressed to the Code of Hammurabi, famously eye-for-eye harshness that renders able citizens disabled. In other words, they accepted both individual responsible-human-independence (RHI) and that some fellow-citizens would insist on dependencies, such as crime.

A subsequent civilization accepted that a civic-citizen neither initiates nor accommodates harm to or from any person or organization.

In modernity, legislators accept that dependencies can& may be discouraged but prefer offender-reform rather than harsh punishment. However, RHI is neglected if not avoided in practice, facilitation, and encouragement. Elites encourage fellow-citizens to rely on higher power for safety& security – depend on their government or their-God to usurp RHI. RHI cannot be usurped.

The government that practices, facilitates, and encourages RHI, without suppressing responsible pursuit of the happiness the civic-citizen perceives is good. “Civic” expresses reliability in human connections& transactions.

quora.com/What-is-freedom-and-can-we-really-be-free? by Emir

Merriam-Webster online informs us freedom is “the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action”. No such way of living exists. Each person may choose civic-living; “civic” means reliability in human connections& transactions.

A person is not free to reject oxygen, food, and waste disposal. The comprehensive cost of these provisions is prohibitive if left to the individual. However, humankind has developed systems wherein responsibly breathing, eating, and toilet – basic necessities – are mostly taken for granted.

The laws-of-physics& progeny (physics) ground necessities. Physics does not respond to reason. Thus, a person can neither decide they no longer need food nor speculate that they are the opposite gender and choose to change. People must conform to physics. Fortunately most people can do so, especially in the United States.

The ancients knew that every human being can& may be a civic-citizen, by neither initiating nor accommodating harm to or from any fellow citizen. The first requirement is to responsibly earn the way of living the citizen wants, accepting any limitations physics has imposed on the person.

Not all citizens participate. Some choose a dependency, such as crime. Therefore, there must be law codes and enforcement. Civic-citizens must pay the tax required to fund statutory-justice.

The civic-citizen accepts the power, the energy, and the authority to comprehend and commit-to the duties necessary to responsibly pursue the happiness they prefer, rather than accept what some bureaucrat might offer. Thus, they practice civic-independence rather than freedom.

Fortunate is the child whose care-givers impart comprehension& intention to responsible-human-independence (RHI). A few RHI-citizens perfect their person before dying.

“Freedom” is just another word tyrants use to control people. Civic-independence is a way of living that care-givers, especially educators, can& may inculcate in youth and adults.

Consider United States tyranny, accommodated in 1788. By 1763, citizens realized they were being enslaved by England to oversee English enterprise including the African slave trade. By 1774, the 13 English colonies organized and claimed statehood. In 1784, the 13 states ratified independence from England. By 1787, 12 states realized they needed a central government that could usurp neither powers of-the-states nor of the-people-in their states and in the united country. However, British loyalists who did not return to England used popular Protestant tradition to persuade the states to mimic the 1689 English bill of rights. The consequence was 1789 restoration of legislative freedom of religion. Instead of reserving religious-choice to adult privacy, Congress elected divinity unlike Parliament’s constitutional provision (26 seats to bishops to the Church of England). This tyranny can be corrected by amending the U.S. religious practice clause from “preventing” to “promoting”, re-establishing personal religious independence in America.

Elites tout freedom while civic-citizens practice independence. So far, in the United States, otherwise civic-citizens egregiously accommodate tyranny: Congressional freedom of religion.

quora.com/Who-was-the-first-to-talk-about-municipal-policy-and-good-governance? by Naim Hossain Rabbi

Consider Code of Ur-Nammu - Wikipedia. I think the polytheistic Sumerians must have accept that their gods managed the heavens and would not impose governance on earth. Thus, they wrote codes of law that expressed civic-integrity to citizens, recognizing that not all citizens would aid justice. The civic-citizens pursued statutory justice in order to constrain dependent& harmful neighbors. Successive king improved the law codes, which after Babylonian conquest became the Code of Hammurabi. Punishments for harm were harsh, often rendering the offender unable to work.

The ancient principle, individual responsible-human-independence (RHI), which neither the-God nor government can usurp, can& may be adopted today. In fact, the 1787 United States Constitution profess an RHI culture. It has been repressed by the unconstitutional religion clauses imposed in the 1791 Bill of Rights. This tyranny can be reversed by amending “preventing” to “promoting” in the religious-practice clause.

Comment:  The most egregious U.S. Congressional tyranny can be reversed by changing “preventing” to “promoting” in the religious-practice clause.

quora.com/How-can-we-define-relativism? by Mitia Razafindrakoto

Thank you for a great question.

We can start with merriam-webster online, which informs us: 1) a: a theory that knowledge is relative to the limited nature of the mind and the conditions of knowing; b: a view that ethical truths depend on the individuals and groups holding them; 2) relativity. Let me illustrate these 3 points as I perceive them.

First, consider the authentic Jesus. It seems to me, he was a man who, on debating Moses’ law, perceived that a human-being is as perfectible as whatever controls the consequences of human choice. Therefore, a person can& may develop the practice of acting only for the-good. When the-good cannot be discerned, he or she risks action only to preserve life. Thus, a homeowner does not kill a burglar who would never harm anyone’s body. The person who believes Jesus’s purpose was to redeem his or her soul may not take seriously Jesus’ influence to the-good. A more direct example of Jesus’ civic-influence is in Matthew 19:3-8. “Civic” means reliability in human being (verb) more than conformity to rules or civility.

Second, a Christian church (group of like-minded people) might be expected to value Jesus for salvation of souls and neglect the-civic-Jesus’ guidance. On the other hand, a church can be both spiritual and civic and thus do the work to comprehend and apply Jesus’ guidance to the-good for all generations.

Third, Albert Einstein discovered that speed or momentum is measurable only relative to an object and the speed of light is a constant that is measurable from all objects. This principle holds for the-good. That is, the-good is ineluctable and not subject to psychological processes, such as reason, belief, revelation, consensus, and other human evaluations.

These considerations suggest that only ineluctable-evidence justifies choice. Ineluctable means: not to be avoided, changed, escaped, neglected, rationalized, or resisted. The-ineluctable-truth exists, and humankind’s duty is to discover its positive applications. For example, nuclear reactions can be used to produce electricity.

Marx, Capone, Alinsky, Obama, Clinton& Together Baton Rouge

To fellow citizens who are not familiar with AMO: Here's a Saul Alinsky interview: Firing Line with William F. Buckley Jr.: Mobilizing the Poor - YouTube. Alinsky invents the phrases "prime truth" and "welfarism". In all, the discussion is very interesting, with Buckley emphasizing Alinsky's use of the poor to cause public disturbance. When Buckley takes over, he seems prescient to Black Lives Matter. Be sure to listen to the single question& answer at 47 minutes.

Here's the link to Alinsky’s lasting foundation: History - Industrial Areas Foundation.

Here's a link to Alinsky’s O'Hare trick: The O’Hare Shit-In: Airports, Occupied Infrastructures, And Excremental Politics (societyandspace.org).

Here are examples of controversy surrounding Alinsky, Clinton, and Obama: Hillary Clinton, student of Saul Alinsky teachings - NEWS and ISSUES - Saul Alinsky and 'Rules for Radicals" (theirmom.com) and Saul Alinsky, The Man Who Inspired Obama : NPR. The NPR bit is only 5 minutes and well worth listening: the author attributes Obama's presidency to Alinsky-style organizing.

Wokeism is the vain attempt to impose injustice. Woke avoids, escapes, neglects, or resists the privilege of human being (verb).

A civic-culture neither practices, facilities, nor encourages wokeism. “Civic” means reliable in personal connections and transactions.

Don't believe: Consider a couple observations. First, traffic has never been more cooperatively jammed. Second, churches have never seemed as declining. Third, government has never seemed more ruthless. Fourth, global government seeks to destroy the United States Constitution.

If true, what do these observations mean? First, civic-citizens are resilient& reliable. Second, most civic-citizens at last accept that churches work to grow themselves on humankind's 10%. Third, civic-citizens resist governments that seek to control their other 90% of income. Fourth, U.S. civic-citizens are woke to globalist government dominating the Democratic Party.

Use your own awareness to improve my cryptic analysis and realize that the United States is not like other nations& worlds. The U.S. is a federation of 50 independent states. Since globalism, rather than Constitutionalism, dominates California, civic-citizens there are exiting. Since small-government has been Florida's policy for decades, civic-citizens are moving there. Even though Ron Desantis is one of a Christian family, he also practices, facilitates& encourages responsible-human-independence (RHI). He accepts the "may" that seems willed in Genesis 1:26-28, NIV.

Economics matter. Mark Perry analyzed domestic migration in 2021 and reported not religion but economic opportunity as a motive; aei.org/carpe-diem/top-10-inbound-vs-top-10-outbound-us-states-in-2021-how-do-they-compare-on-a-variety-of-economic-tax-business-climate-and-political-measures/. I speculate that is because civic-citizens regard religion a private pursuit. Civic-citizens relocate for better economic opportunities, and Perry's study shows that Democratic-Party-dominated-states ruin civic-family opportunities: So they leave.

There are a couple other factors that occurred to me as I approach age 80 (June 20). Christianity has been a serious problem in my life. As an adolescent reading the Bible, I felt the-God would not fear self so much as to threaten me. At age 79, I perceive (don't know) that all these years the-civic-Jesus and the-metaphysical-Jesus (perhaps the-God) have influenced Phil Beaver to the-good, while "Christ" flummoxes me with civic-contradictions. "Civic" expresses reliability in human connections& transactions. Christ is the church's construct, while Jesus is made clear in the faces& expressions of the continuum of civic-fellow citizens: Agathon in 430 B.C., Ralph Waldo Emerson in his age, and neighbors like you and yours, Cleve, in my age. I could never have perceived& articulated these ideas if this previously Baptist boy had not fallen in love with the-serenely-confident Louisiana-French-Catholic-Cynthia.

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.

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

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

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

Consider writing a personal paraphrase of the preamble, which offers fellow citizens mutual appreciation:  For discussion, I convert the preamble’s predicate phrases to nouns and paraphrase it for my interpretation of its proposal as follows We the People of the United States proffer & practice 5 public disciplines —- integrity, justice, safety, strength, and prosperity, “in order to” encourage & facilitate responsible-human-independence “to ourselves and our Posterity”. I want to improve my interpretation by listening to other citizens and their interpretations yet would preserve the original, 1787, text, unless it is amended by the people.

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

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

Selected theme from this month

Elites promote freedom, in order to impose slavery.

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

Columns

dickmorris.com/sarah-huckabee-sanders-for-vice-president/

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Conclusion

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

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

quora.com/unanswered/How-does-Platos-conception-of-self-interest-differ-from-Thrasymachus-conception-of-self-interest-Is-the-pursuit-of-self-interest-an-objectionable-moral-thesis? by Acem Jubilant

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I think elites deploy education to maintain gullibility.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Neither the-God nor government can usurp human duty.
