Theme: Agency

THE THREE DEGREES OF AGREEMENT: THINK, TRUST, FEEL – AND THE VIRTUES, VICES, AND COMMANDMENTS

Autists need to think it, normies need to trust it, and empaths need to feel it. We all satisfy our need for understanding differently.

All that matters is the physical law of the universe, the necessary law of evolution and transcendence, the natural law of man, the extension of natural law to the love of man, the debt we owe to nature and our ancestors. After that we need enough knowledge and skill to serve one another. and enough courage to defend one another.

Whether you understand it, trust it, or feel it doesn’t matter.

It’s not complicated.

For children: “do not unto others as they would not have done unto them. do only unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

For women, neither are the four agreements difficult:

Agreement 1: Be Impeccable With Your Word

Agreement 2: Don’t Take Anything Personally

Agreement 3: Don’t Make Assumptions

Agreement 4: Always Do Your Best

For women, the christian virtues

chastity

temperance

charity

diligence

patience

kindness

humility

For Men, the Virtues are not difficult.

The term “virtue” itself is derived from the Latin “virtus” (the personification of which was the deity Virtus), and had connotations of “manliness”, “honour”, worthiness of deferential respect, and civic duty as both citizen and soldier.

The Four Greek Virtues

Wisdom (vs cunning)

Courage (vs victimhood)

Moderation (epicureanism vs hedonism or asceticism)

Justice (vs compassion)

Doolittle’s Necessities

Every man a craftsman (so he is not a scoundrel), a soldier (so he does his duty to his people), a warrior (so he is not a coward), Sheriff (so he defends the commons), judge (so he metes justice when he must), legislature (so he chooses his own path), and sovereign (so he takes responsibility for his actions).

Aristotle’s Ethics

As Aristotle says in the Nicomachean Ethics:

“The golden mean between the extremes,

at the right times (when),

about the right things (what),

towards the right people (who),

for the right end (why),

and in the right way (how).”

THE VIA NEGATIVA

THE CRIMES

TEN COMMANDMENTS IN P-LAW TERMS

(In response to James Dmitro Makienko and John Mark.)

1 – God/Nature has given us the many laws of nature, the one natural law of man: reciprocity, and the one choice: transcendence into gods ourselves by those laws, or the end of our existence for failing.

2 – You shall not use reciprocity falsely, or criticize reciprocity, and spread irreciprocity – this is to criticize god, god’s law, and doom mankind to failure of transcendence.

4 – You must return your parent’s investment in you with reciprocity of obedience, respect, and care.

5 – You shalt not commit murder – reciprocity of life cannot be restored, reciprocity of revenge cannot be unmade, and reciprocity in trust forever lost.

6 – You shalt not commit adultery – reciprocity of the marriage promise cannot be restored.

7 – You shalt not steal – reciprocity of goods may be restored, but reciprocity of trust cannot be restored.

8 – You shalt not lie – reciprocity of deceit may be restored, reciprocity of harm may not be, and reciprocity of trust cannot be restored.

9 – You shalt not contemplate lust of another’s wife or husband – lest in anger, weakness or folly you violate the reciprocity of a marriage.

10 – You shalt not contemplate lust of another’s property, lest in anger, weakness or folly you violate the reciprocity of property.

3 – One day a week you shall spend contemplating your reciprocity irreciprocity, to past, present and future kin and kith, and seek means of restitution.
