CONSTRUCTION AND DECONSTRUCTION OF DECENCY

Free thinking conservers of liberty promote a collective civilization by internalizing shared values that are self evident or empathetically intuitive in their culture. Corrupt libertines of abuse promote a collective civilization by beguiling the ignorant to accept the externally forced rule of the corrupt. As the corrupt become more powerful and the ignorant become more desperate and poor, they tend to make crass common cause against free thinkers. Free thinkers cannot conserve liberty against such corruption unless they remain vigilant to check against perverse accumulations of power and provide enough of a safety net to preserve the hope and good will of the less able and talented. If liberty is to survive, wealth must be limited short of incitement to despotism, and poverty must be alleviated short of desperation.
.
CONSTRUCTION AND DECONSTRUCTION OF DECENCY:
.
CHILDREN OF DECONSTRUCTIONISM: There are people who exist who like perpetually to play dress up. They like to recognize the sometimes richness in poverty, genius in idiocy, wisdom in ignorance, truthiness in playing false, and heroism in cowardice. Should this mean that medical schools must award proportionate admissions and student loans to poor, ignorant, deluded cowards? Should it mean that those who prefer to use words in their ordinary meanings are hateful phobes and racists, who must be ridiculed and often punished? Should it mean that decent civilization must equally deconstruct and annihilate all discriminatory distinctions?
.
GOD: Whatever the Information we're massing, we're massing it together. This necessitates that words be accorded meanings.  The avatars with which our perspectives of consciousness bond undergo pattern shifts, yet consciousness itself is perpetually required, even though it undergoes phase shifts and its avatars assimilate and accumulate changing insights and Information. Nothing evolves or unfolds to the sequential record of informationally digitized manifestation without the previously participatory, simultaneous or preset, idealistic or representative, approval or disapproval of at least one perspective of conscious will --- whether primitive, organic, human, or holistically field-like. Consciousness is variously iterated, but, stripping all religious models to their essential worth, the common field of Consciousness may be conceptualized as "God," i.e., the basis for intuitive, empathetic, moral interfunctioning, unfolding, and evolution.
.
FOUNDATION OF MORALITY: Conscious will, communicating intuitively and empathetically among its iterative perspectives, is the foundation for all moral signification. It is the connector of spiritual good faith and good will, the qualitative basis for the Great Commandment and the Golden Rule, above all quantitative pretenses of measuring science and physics. There is no moral principle that can be derived purely from physics. However, there is a moral reconciler, a still quiet voice, that guides physical significations, which abides in self evidence, not dependent on any axiom of measurement. Its existence is reasonably intuited in self evidence. It's unfolding purposes are empathetically intuited. Its communications are signified and transmitted in analogies, figures of speech, models, and conceptualizations. All of physical signification abides first as a figure of speech of communication of conscious will, before such physics can then be related for measuring in terms of variously fluxing models, which models cannot themselves be unified because they are nothing in themselves.
.
PROGRESS OF CIVILIZATION: I cannot reasonably speak to whether perfection or heaven are attainable. However, I can speak in good faith and good will (intuitive empathy) to an ideal that I envision as being worth pursuing. That is the establishment and preservation of civilized governance that avails decent dignity for the exchange of communications among free thinking perspectives of consciousness.
.
IDEAL VS PRACTICALITY:  That is an ideal. It can best be nurtured by assimilating a fair and independent minded middle class of free thinkers. However, the ideal recognizes a practical reality: Even the best of middle classes will always be accompanied by (1) corrupt predators who seek to acquire skills and leverage to obtain despotic hegemony, as well as by (2) those easy prey and perpetual children who, because of physical or mental infirmity or disposition, can never quite grow up to become independently competing avatars for their own thoughts. A decent civilization needs institutions for checking and balancing the tendencies of the first, and it needs a reasonable safety net for the second.
.
ALIGNMENT OF PREDATORS AND PREY:  This produces a natural alignment among predators and prey: predators beguile the easily beguiled to believe they will be protected if they help bring down the big game, i.e., the middle class. The more the middle class remains oblivious and at work, assuming all others share its good faith and good will, the fatter, slower, and more attractive it becomes as big game. The more the middle class insists on an impossibility, that government abandon everyone to their own talents, including the talentless (the infantile, senile, idiotic, handicapped, addicted, mal-conditioned and mal-educated), the more the lower class reasons it has no choice but to align itself to the mercy of canopy crony corporatists, who have no faith higher than their own advancement. Decent civliization is not easy. It seems to require billions of years of evolution. It requires evolution of a middle class that's wise enough to check amoral predators while simultaneously providing a safety net for the infirm, the childlike, and the ignorant, without making the safety net so enticing as to encourage lives of sloth and unnecessary dependence.
.
GOOD FAITH FREE THINKERS: Good faith free thinkers must be aware of the exposure of easy prey to corrupt predators. Skills have been developed and networked to quickly reduce most unprotected people to the status of perpetual debt slaves. Astonishing "progress" has been made in the science of advertising to get people to trade debt enslavement for baubles. The more the number of people enslaved, the more those people feel little hope ... unless they align to help predators enslave yet more. The goal of a decent civilization of free thinkers is not advanced by advocating that the poor and infirm should aspire to become rich like the predatory.

There are "people who exist" who like perpetually to play dress up. They like to recognize the sometimes richness in poverty, genius in idiocy, wisdom in ignorance, intercourse in outercourse, truthiness in playing false, and heroism in cowardice. Should this mean that medical schools must award proportionate admissions and student loans to poor, ignorant, deluded, gays? Should it mean that those who prefer to use words in their ordinary meanings are hateful phobes and racists, who must be ridiculed and often punished? Should it mean that decent civilization must "equally" deconstruct and annihilate all discriminatory distinctions? Should "marriage" now encompass a faithful union between men who want a convenient, shorthand way of entering into a combination durable power of attorney and last will and testament, so that by "marrying" they immediately become re-categorized for all legal purposes of intestate succession, survivorship to joint banking accounts, rights of next of kin, alimony, community property law, citizenship prioritization, social security survivor benefits, military spousal alottments, prison conjugal visits?

Gays can't accomplish all that merely by entering into a contract binding each other to accord all interests "as if" they were married. This is because they are not their own public law makers. So, they must make piecemeal arrangements in such ways as the law allows. So, they prefer to fool the public into thinking it's no big deal: just enact a federal law that makes marriage whatever gays want it to mean. This would enshrine gays not just as a tolerated class, but as a protected and favored class. It's meant to forbid voters from deciding whether: children should best be raised in traditional homes; families should be tax incented to raise children; school literature should seek to normalize children; children should be protected from premature exposure to everything that exists out there. It's meant to make children fair game.

Decent society doesn't "equalize" those who can't, won't, or aren't grown up and independent! It protects them, as it deems appropriate. Otherwise, decent society facilitates communication among free thinkers. It does so by checking against canopy-crony-corporatists, while availing appropriate safety nets for the invalid and ignorant. Decent society requires billions of years of evolution, but can be destroyed in a heartbeat, as when grown ups fail to detect and check against alliances among would-be canopy despots and the dependent invalid and ignorant.

Alignments often occur among opportunistic predators and prey: predators beguile the easily beguiled to believe they will be protected if they help bring down big game (middle class free thinkers). The more the middle class remains obliviously at work, assuming all others share its general good will, the fatter and slower it tends to become. The more free thinkers insist on an impossibility --- that government abandon everyone to their own talents, including the talent-challenged (the infantile, senile, idiotic, handicapped, addicted, mal-conditioned and mal-educated) --- the more the lower class reasons it has no choice but to align with canopy corporatists (who have no faith higher than their own advancement). Decent civliization isn't easy. It requires nurturing by a middle class that's wise enough to check amoral predators, while simultaneously providing safety nets for the infirm, the childlike, and the ignorant --- without making the safety nets so enticing as to encourage lives of unnecessary dependence.

Skills have developed and networked to quickly reduce most unprotected people to the status of perpetual debt slaves. Astonishing "progress" has been made in sciences of advertising and campaigning, to get people to trade debt enslavement for baubles. The more people enslaved, the more people who feel little hope ... except to align to help predators enslave yet more. The goal of decent civilization is not advanced by advocating that the poor and infirm should aspire to become rich in the way that the predatory become rich, or that communication should be undermined by duplicitous terminology.

On this Memorial Day, remember ideals for a decent society. Decent society doesn't "equalize" those who can't, won't, or aren't grown up and independent! It protects them, as decently appropriate. Otherwise, decent society facilitates communication among free thinkers. It does so by checking against faithless canopy-crony-corporatists, while availing appropriate safety nets for the invalid and ignorant.

Remember that alignments often occur among opportunistic predators and prey: predators beguile the easily beguiled to believe they will be protected if they help bring down big game (middle class free thinkers). The more the middle class remains obliviously at work (while assuming all others share its general good will), the fatter and slower it becomes. The more free thinkers insist on an a fairy tale --- that government should abandon every adult and every child to his own talents, including the talent-challenged (the infantile, senile, idiotic, handicapped, addicted, mal-conditioned and mal-educated) ---the more the lower class reasons it has no choice but to align with canopy corporatists. Remember that decent civliization isn't easy. It requires nurturing by a middle class that's wise enough to check amoral predators, while simultaneously providing safety nets for the infirm, the childlike, and the ignorant --- without making the safety nets so enticing as to encourage lives of unnecessary dependence. That is America's polestar.

Free thinkers must remain aware of the exposure of easy prey to corrupt predators. Skills have developed and networked to quickly reduce most unprotected people to the status of perpetual debt and sex slaves. Astonishing "progress" has been made in sciences of advertising and campaigning, to get people to trade enslavement for baubles. The more people enslaved, the more people who feel little hope ... except to align to help predators enslave yet more. The goal of decent civilization is not advanced by advocating that the poor and infirm should aspire to become powerful in the way that the predatory become powerful, or by advocating that communication should be connived in the terminology of the duplicitous.

From A.T. -- Re: "Modern conservatism's rejection of its communal roots is a relatively recent development"

What a lot of puny, ignorant balderdash! Such an opinion is borne of corruption, utter stupidity, or both. American Conservatism has always stood for individual feedom within a COMMUNITY that respects freedom and institutions needed to establish and preserve freedom, including institutions of law, family, and regard for higher assimilating values. That's why we want borders enforced, stupid! There is no freedom without COMMUNITY based LAW and values that can sustain it. There is not even any spiritual communication without natural physical LAW to avail its signification.

Free thinkers must remain aware of the exposure of easy prey to corrupt and duplicitous predators. Skills have developed and networked to quickly reduce most unprotected people to the status of perpetual debt and sex slaves. Astonishing "progress" has been made in sciences of advertising, campaigning, and duplicitous reasoning, to get people to trade enslavement for baubles. The more people enslaved, the more people who feel little hope ... except to align to help predators enslave yet more.

Predators often deploy ignorant pretenses of reason, to beguile the easily beguilded to believe they will be protected if they will trust predators to help bring down big game (middle class free thinkers). Decent and free civliization isn't easy. It requires nurturing by free thinkers wise enough to check amoral predators, while simultaneously providing safety nets for the infirm, the childlike, and the ignorant --- without making the safety nets so enticing as to encourage lives of unnecessary dependence. That is America's polestar.

In main, both parties seem to represent top-down, externally imposed organization. Neither seems to have much regard for middle class, internally organized, free thinking. If there was a time when more people thought educated and reflective people of good faith and good will would naturally assimilate in respect of self evident values, those days seem to be behind us (tea party excepted).

Now, methods for spreading enslavement to addictions and debt have mushroomed. Once enough people are unemployed, addicted, and indebted, they tend to be easy prey for promises of relief if only they will depend on charaltan cronies. The less this is checked, the deeper and faster we fall under control of alliances of crony beguilers and the easily beguiled.

The new world organization is tending away from nations and borders and more towards fluxing alliances among predators and their easily beguiled prey. There seems not to be much campaign contribution money available for those who would seek to preserve broad-based free thinking. Methods of "education" and financial intimidation have become so advanced that hardly anyone can escape being indoctrinated to believe they are thinking freely when, in fact, most hardly ever delve into value philosophy or go on a free and personal quest "into the wilderness."

Obama will not be reelected. However, that will not deflect a fundamental trend: By and large, except for the few who can keep up with or lead cutting edge technology, we are externally coercing organizations of cookie-cutout people, not free thinkers. I do not see movements or institutions in place that could slow the speed of this trend. Absent a game-changing event, defeating Obama will only slow the rate of acceleration towards furious antpiles.

Often, selfishness more consumes its sponsors than fulfills them. The greatness of America's class of free thinkers of good will is being consumed by an alliance among the most soul-stiflingly selfish of predators with the weakest of moral and mental fiber that they can enlist. The alliance of crony corporatists with their crony socialist pretenders and idiots is expanding. The consequence is a divisive, downward spiral of self consumption and a destruction of nations and cultures. Human freedom and dignity are being consumed in an orgy of meaningless drugs, sex, division, diversion, and subjugation and surrender of moral will. The decimation of the free-thinking class will not be reversed by failing to check the indecent wealth and despotic power of the most benumbed of Rino pleasures, nor by increasing the relative number of the most prone to Dino weak dependencies. The free-thinking class of Americans will be ever decimated so long as it fails to institutionalize means to reverse the accelerating power of a mindless alliance between beguiling masters of pleasure and their easily beguiled serfs. This alliance is traitorous to grown-up human freedom, dignity, modesty, and decency. And nothing is reversing it.

The free-thinking and individually responsible class of Americans will be ever decimated so long as it fails to institutionalize means to reverse the accelerating power of a mindless alliance between beguiling masters of pleasure and their easily beguiled serfs.

Those who fail to think out their own spiritual moorings will tend to find kool aid to drink and one dimensional slogans to substitute for thinking. They will look for where to sign up to receive marching orders from a fallible human rainmaker who claims to have simple answers. Obama found his answers in gang style victimology, expressed in various sects, including Marxism, Islam, and BLT.

This led him to favor simplistic ideas and systems designed for rewarding the spiritually dead, to fund and reward unchecked predation, where the most ruthless gang bangers, liars and convincing connivers rise to be deemed most "meritorious." Government becomes a commodity for trading among contending cronies, comrades, connivers, and criminals. The entire economy for the NWO becomes a vast, interconnecting, criminal enterprise for abusing slaves to sex, soma, mind submission, fantasy, and virtual substitutes. The NWO believes nothing else is worth pursuing. The pervasive indoctrination from the NWO: Better to reign in hell than to pursue anything better.
