The Essential Quality of Consciousness

.
Consciousness is the conservator of conceptualization. Consciousness does not function as a physically measurable force. Rather, it functions as a conceptual facilitator and conservator. Without Conscious Will --- either active or stored, present or potential, manifesting or preset --- there would be no Information that could be stored.  At its most essential, Consciousness is that meta function which facilitates meaningfulness by borrowing from nothingness. Meaningfulness is the qualitative counterpart to that which Consciousness conserves and expresses, via quantitative significations. All that is measurably signified --- original and unfolding --- consists with bubbles manifesting forth out of nothingness, facilitated by Consciousness.
.
Conceptualization avails freedom to Consciousness; conservation avails parameter-limiting feedback to Consciousness. Without conservation (limits and laws), there would be no freedom. There is no freedom except under law. Feedback avails the signification of appreciable choices. The feedback by which Consciousness functions consists via a mathematical (digital-based) dance of apprehension (fore-boding) and appreciation (after-boding). The mathematical average of the dance as a whole always conserves and balances out to zero (quantitative nothingness). Conceptualization of math, borrowed from zero, yields conceptualization of fluxing forms, which yields conceptualization of space-time. Reconciliation back to zero yields conceptualization of matter-energy. The dance of conceptual conservation proceeds in digital like feedback between parts (particular fluxing perspectives of consciousness) and the whole (holistically synchronizing perspective of consciousness).
.
That which is conceptualized as good is that which is adjudged helpful towards that which is sought to be reconciled. That which is conceptualized as neutral is that which is adjudged of vanishing relevance towards that which is sought. That which is conceptualized as bad is that which is adjudged counterproductive to that which is sought. Except in respect of a digital dance of feedback between perspectives of Consciousness, concepts of good, neutral, and bad would have little or no significance in themselves.

The method of scientific empiricism is the only way to learn the quantitative formulas that delimit the parameters of the human biosphere. That system of conservation is the system within which conscious will conceptualizes.  However, the method of scientific empiricism is not suited to apprehend that to which conscious will should guide its conceptualizations insofar as there remain degrees of freedom to so guide.  There is a feedback relationship between that which is conserved and that which is conceptualized.  Conceptualization affects the apparent reality of the quantitatively testable.  Of course, the capacity of a single perspective of consciousness to so affect the conservational system is much more diluted than the sum of the capacity of all perspectives, or of the presently synchronizing or pre-willed and pre-set capacity of the holistic perspective.  Even so, the qualitative aspect of participating conscious will is a prime reality, which is clear to experience and enlightened intuition, even though, by definition, it is not itself subject to quantitative proof.

It is obvious that it would be very counterproductive to inject a third party candidate into the present presidential race. That said, there needs to be a way to begin building a third political party for the future. For now, however, the effort should be limited to educational and organizational purposes.

That said, consider: Suppose all tribes and groups of humanity were to assimilate into one new world culture. (After all, that seems to be the border-erasing drift of the international crony corporatism that owns and operates our national Democrat and Republican parties.) Such an assimilation would remove the evolutionary influence of competition between such tribes as were thus assimilated. The evolution of humanity would then be responsive only to such other influences as remained. Would the result be evolutionary stasis or drag? Would such a new world order evolve to a strictly hierarchical and static antpile, with little creativity or insight from any independently free-thinking middle class to guide it? Or is enough momentum already injected into humanity to push it to a next level of artificially-guided evolution, leading to astonishing genetic treatments and cyborg-like enhancements of human intelligence and capacity? Would such a rationalistically guided antpile, operating along cyber-connnected ant-trails, overpower all functions that otherwise would have helped guide humanity in empathy, loyalty, honor, morality, and grandeur? Would the antlike eusociality of a NWO-Borgdom-Skynet divert the human story from staried pursuits to mindless drudgery and dopery? How can humanity free itself from tribal wars and still honor the creative spark that has heretofore found expression through classes of independent-minded free thinkers ... especially if such class surrenders all thought of possible, independent, political representation? If free thinkers do not organize now, their progeny will be cyber ants.

You are quite right that decent civilization worthy of exploring the cosmos will not prevail by bananas alone. Nor by scientific empiricism alone. Yes, the method of scientific empiricism is the only way to learn the quantitative formulas that delimit the parameters of the human biosphere. And that system of conservation is the system within which conscious will conceptualizes. However, the method of scientific empiricism is not suited to apprehend that to which conscious will SHOULD guide its conceptualizations, insofar as there remain degrees of freedom to so guide.

Moreover, there abides a feedback relationship between that which is conserved and that which is conceptualized. Conceptualization (observer effect) does affect the apparent reality of the quantitatively testable. Of course, the capacity of a single perspective of consciousness to so affect the conservational system is much more diluted than the sum of the capacity of all perspectives, or the capacity of the presently synchronizing (or pre-willed, pre-set) capacity of the holistic perspective.

At its most essential, Consciousness is that meta function which facilitates meaningfulness by borrowing from nothingness. Our materially measureable world bubbled forth from nothingness (zero), and the material aspect of it will eventually be reclaimed to nothingness. The qualitative aspect of participating, conscious will is the prime reality, which is clear to experience and enlightened intuition, even though, by definition, it is not itself subject to quantitative proof. Without comparable moral inspiration, a decent civilization is lost.

The default path of divide and rule, or path of convenience for promoting apologists for the allied establishment of Rinos and Dinos, is to take each group that is to be ruled and, not unlike Voltaire’s Dr. Pangloss, to bless whatever is happening to it as being all for the best. Yes, this will tend to insult the participatory free will of members of the creative and industrious middle class. And this path to a high tech antpile will decline ever more steeply, as conditions accumulate for favoring: very densely populated urban centers, astonishingly powerful media networks, ubiquitous technologies for monitoring and enforcing activities, and advanced centers for salvaging and re-educating potential deviants (aka, Ivy League colleges). For such descent, depending on tribal group of affiliation, any single-dimensional, organizing slogan will do: social justice, freedom, strict construction, fairness, equality, etc. Whatever the federation of antpiles wants to do can be sold to each mesmerized cult under its favorite, single-dimensional, all-purpose slogan. Especially when the ants are religiously instructed that there is no source of conscious will higher than that which can be measured and meted out by pure objectivists for the regime (i.e., moral scientists, two-handed economists, and Asimovian psychohistorians). When the middle class is so beaten down as to agree that its members express no higher soul, we will have consented to the diversion of our pursuits from the stars to the antpile.

The path of convenience for promoting the establishment of Rinos and Dinos is followed by taking each group that is to be ruled and, not unlike Dr. Pangloss, to bless whatever is happening as being all for the best. This descent to a high tech antpile is greased as conditions favor: densely populated urban centers, media networks, technologies for monitoring and enforcing activities, and advanced centers for re-educating potential deviants. Depending on group of affiliation, various simplistic, single-dimensional slogans may foster antpile organization. Sample slogans: social justice, freedom, strict construction, fairness, equality, etc. Whatever the federation of antpiles wants can be sold to each sub-cult under its favorite, single-dimensional, all-purpose slogan. Ants will follow assignments for when and what to procreate. Like ants, human beings can be so beaten down or controlled as to conduct themselves as if none give expression to any higher soul. Once we have been inculcated to believe there is no source of conscious will higher than that which is properly measured and meted out by pure objectivists for the regime (i.e., scientists, economists, psychohistorians?), we will have consented to have our pursuits diverted from the stars to the antpile.

It's often said that if trade does not cross borders, soldiers will. This has some validity when borders separate republics. Not so much when borders separate republics from antlike empires. All advance ants are advance soldiers for their antpiles. Merchants from ant empires of socialism or Islam are advance soldiers. Trade with them, by definition, is asymmetric. "Free trade" with them is oxymoronic. Even more dangerous is "free trade" with the modern version of king of kings, i.e., the international crony corporatist hedge conniver. Free traders often suffer under a delusion that trade is fully explicable in terms of exchanges among individual particles, or selfish genes, or the hypothetical arms-length trader. Their thinking tends to be single dimensional. However, the world is not like that. The world abides in multiple, competing dimensions, all borrowed and conserved from, and eventually transitioning and reconciling to, nothingness. In other words, evolution proceeds through multiple levels and layers at once, much as if it were guided, as if God presently works through the multiple materials God presently has. For citizens of republics to imagine they can safely engage in "free trade" with Marxists, Muslims, or international crony corporatists is to turn blind eyes to how evolution really unfolds. It's to blindly pit free individuals against gangsters.

Both parties, Rinos and Dinos, support the political dhimmitude of the middle class. That's why they're allies of convenience. Despots all over the world seek ways to diminish the political influence of their middle classes. They can easily control their lower classes of useful idiots with cheap bribes and lying promises. So, once they get their middle classes under house control, they're freed up to play the NWO Great Game of empire building.

Worldwide, professional courtesy among despotic regimes and international cronies calls for housebreaking the middle classes. One means is as good as another. For Obama, both Marxism and Islam are good (and poetry is as good as pushpin). Indeed, for Obama, the Muslim call to prayer is the most beautiful sound in the world. For that matter, international crime among cronies is a beautiful thing. What these people worship is power. Most everything else is a lie. What thinking person believes Saudi princes believe in Islam, or that Putin believes in communism? These people want a worldwide antpile, and they want to be its royal larvae.
