  • The Limits of Political Protest (‘NFL and Kneeling’)

    THE LIMITS OF POLITICAL PROTEST 1 – There are limits to interpersonal action – that is the meaning of ‘ethical‘. 2 – There are limits to social action – that’s the meaning of ‘moral‘. 3 – There are limits to political action – that is the meaning of ‘sacred‘.

    1 – There are circumstances that are ethically constrained and circumstances that are not. 2 – Circumstances that are morally constrained and circumstances that are not. 3 – Circumstances that are sacred and constrained, and circumstances that are not. Festivals, Rituals, Churches, and Courts are sacred because the function of these venues is to deprive us of individualism such that we bond in equality outside of the competitive markets for association, cooperation, reproduction, production, commons, and political power. These venues are not markets. We have markets for association, cooperation, reproduction, production, commons, and political power. We agree to, and are habituated to, peaceably compete in those markets only because we agree to preserve the sacred, the moral, and the ethical outside of them. We balance market differences with ethical, moral, and sacred equalities. These venues are for demonstration of self sacrifice for the development of trust among super predators that cohabitate in close proximity. To politicize festival and ritual is to violate the ethical, moral, and sacred and to create division in that medium the sole purpose of which is to unite us. If you destroy our means of sacredness, morality, and ethics, then you destroy our ability to trust one another. It is precisely the function of ethical, moral, and sacred conditions that allow us to develop the trust that is necessary for personal, social, and political mindfulness, and the consequences of our trust or lack of it. And that is what has been happening – by design – since the 1960’s. The left has worked diligently to undermine the ethical (truth), the moral (family and responsibility), and the sacred (limits to selfishness). The only step after violating the sacred is civil war. The fact that anyone would violate sacredness and politicize a festival (Ritual) is simply evidence that we are already in a cold civil war. And we are very close to a hot civil war that will tear it all to pieces.

    NEVER HAS AN EMPIRE BEEN MORE FRAGILE

    There is no natural gas, electrical, or electronic infrastructure that can survive a magazine of steel core 7.62 ammunition. There are no transformers that can survive a collision with a pickup truck. There are no poles that can survive a man with a chainsaw. There is no physical infrastructure than can sustain loss of water pressure and five gallons of gasoline, and a match. There are no railways that cannot be stopped by simple removal of rails. There are no drivers willing to transport goods under threat of snipers, road spikes, and hijacking. America is vast and dependent upon energy and that is its weakness.

    THE RULE OF THREES

    Three seconds without blood, three minutes without air, three days without water, three weeks without food, three months without commerce, three quarters without government.

    It takes about three weeks to a month to collapse a country. Because people fall of their own weight, economies fall of their own weight, countries fall of their own weight. Empires fall of their own weight. Civilizations fall of their own weight.

    SMALL ACTIONS IN ENOUGH NUMBERS PRODUCE VAST CONSEQUENCES

    It takes a few hundred if not a few thousand men to conduct a revolution. and all retaliation against those few hundred, or thousand men, by opposition or the state, will accomplish is acceleration.

    WE ALL MUST FIND A METHOD OF MINDFULNESS – IT’S COMPUTATIONALLY NECESSARY

    —“”Atheism is unnatural. People are not evolved for secular epistemic purity but rather for survival through cooperation through language. A major way that people cooperate through language is by taking part in a community of faith. Searching for the truth apart from myth is also one, but one which is not a significant part of our evolutionary environment.

    The fact that there are actually “communities” (I use that term loosely)of atheists who actually share their values and search for the truth is just a by-product of the fact that certain successfull faith groups tolerate our presence and find us useful. Atheism is may be factually correct, but it is not natural. Atheists are extremely unnatural; about as unnatural as homosexuals and feminists.

    We should never be surprised is someone reverts to type and converts from atheism to a religion, especially when they get old, have kids, decide they want kids, decide they want to find a good spouse, or any other life milestone that has to do with our supreme purpose on earth, reproduction of fit offspring.”—Adam Voight

    Perfect.

    And, I love this quote:

    —“People are not evolved for producing statements of secular epistemic purity but rather for survival through cooperation through language. “—

    The limit to the evolutionary value of language is its utility in cooperation – cooperation which decreases all costs (and increases certainty). This is probably why our brains are smaller, yet we demonstrate far greater achievement than our predecessor species: we distributed “computation” into a network through language, whereas other species had only (largely) distributed sense-perception through ‘calls’.

    If I can hope to contribute to your post, it would be that mindfulness is ‘computationally’ necessary for the simple reason of cost-savings.

    And that one simply *MUST* find a method of obtaining mindfulness that he can physically, mentally, and emotionally tolerate. Unfortunately, the evidence is, that mindfulness (like hypnosis) is easier achieved by the simple than the intelligent. And that as one’s intelligence increases, one must seek it by incrementally more abstruse means.

    Hence why stoicism is the most effective and universal means of universal mindfulness: it requires one pay a physical cost of effort, rather than a cult-cost of believing a falsehood as the price of entry, and price of mindfulness.

  • Saw This Silent Generation Post Somewhere Else

    Bothers me because I see them as the “naive and abused generation”. The generation like their parents that were the most and first affected by the Propaganda Generation. The first substantial victims of the Industrialization of Lying. And through that lens this set of statements reads somewhat differently from how the author intended. —–BEGIN—- Born in the 1930’s and 40’s, we exist as a very special age cohort. We are the Silent Generation. We are the smallest number of children born since the early 1900’s. We are the “last ones.” We are the last generation, climbing out of the depression, who can remember the winds of war and the impact of a world at war which rattled the structure of our daily lives for years. We are the last to remember ration books for everything from gas to sugar to shoes to stoves. We saved tin foil and poured fat into tin cans. We hand mixed ’white stuff’ with ‘yellow stuff’ to make fake butter. We saw cars up on blocks because tires weren’t available. We can remember milk being delivered to our house early in the morning and placed in the “milk box” on the porch. [A friend’s mother delivered milk in a horse drawn cart.] We sometimes fed the horse, and our dog, Spot, a Fox Terrier, would greet the milkman when he made our delivery, then he would ride in Glenn’s truck till the end of his route, when Glenn would drive by the house and let Spot off the truck just in time to greet us coming home from elementary school. Many of us are the last to hear Roosevelt ’s radio assurances and to see gold stars in the front windows of our grieving neighbors. Many of us can also remember the parades on August 15, 1945; VJ Day. We saw the ‘boys’ home from the war, build their little houses, pouring the cellar, tar papering it over and living there until they could afford the time and money to build it out. We are the last generation who spent much of our childhood without television; instead we imagined what we heard on the radio. As we all like to brag, with no TV, we spent our childhood “playing outside until the street lights came on.” We did play outside and we did play on our own. We turned the hose or the fire hydrants on and ran through the spray to play in the water. The lack of television in our early years meant, for most of us, that we had little real understanding of what the world was like. Our Saturday afternoons, if at the movies, gave us newsreels of the war sandwiched in between westerns and cartoons. Telephones were one to a house, often shared and hung on the wall. Computers were called calculators, they only added and were hand cranked; typewriters were driven by pounding fingers, throwing the carriage, and changing the ribbon. The ‘Internet’ and ‘GOOGLE’ were words that didn’t exist. Newspapers and magazines were written for adults and the news was broadcast on our table radio in the evening by H.V Kaltenborne and Gabriel Heatter. We are the last group who had to find out for ourselves. As we grew up, the country was exploding with growth. The G.I. Bill gave returning veterans the means to get an education and spurred colleges to grow. VA loans fanned a housing boom. Pent up demand coupled with new installment payment plans put factories to work. New highways would bring jobs and mobility. The veterans joined civic clubs and became active in politics. In the late 40’s and early 50’s the country seemed to lie in the embrace of brisk but quiet order as it gave birth to its new middle class (which became known as ‘Baby Boomers’). …. it goes on …
