In ethical discussion, “Noblesse oblige” summarizes a moral economy wherein privilege (ability and achievement) must be balanced by duty towards those who lack such privilege ability and (achievement) or who cannot perform such duty. Finally, it has been used recently primarily to refer to public responsibilities of the rich, famous and powerful, notably to provide good examples of behaviour or to exceed minimal standards of decency. It has also been used to describe a person taking the blame for something in order to solve an issue or save someone else.

(FB 1549820681 Timestamp) MORALITY AMORALITY CONFLICT DESPOTISM AND THE SOCIOPATHIC MIND. MORALITY Some basis of morality either exists or it does not. The science, law, and logic say that such a thing is called reciprocity, and reciprocity within the bounds of proportionality, and outside of the bounds of proportionality exit is necessary for any disadvantaged party. And that prohibition on or unbearable cost of exit is the origin of conflict, fighting, and war. AMORALITY If no basis for morality exists, then all that is required is power to force whatever order upon people that is useful. This is a license for any and all for corruption at every level. In other worse, one has rule of law and decidability, or one has rule by man and authority. CONFLICT The evolution of the law has been a battle between corruption (rule by man) and morality (rule of law). Even socialism (rule by man) and capitalism (rule of law), and globalism (rule by men) and nationalism (rule of law), and representative democracy (rule by men), and direct democracy (rule of law) are simply various examples of a long standing battle between the moral men who produce and the immoral men to live by parasitism. DESPOTISM The despot’s argument: empower elites further in order to garner favor (suck up to more successful people). Seize power and opportunity at every opportunity. Incrementally exercise pent up envy, anger, hatred, in order to gain pleasure and relief. SOCIOPATHY Sociopaths use a well documented set of tactics. They are natural liars. They will choose to lie even if the truth is just as advantageous. And once you know how lies are constructed, by using suggestion to force appeal to intuition, then you are no longer vulnerable to liars. The Sociopath’s Mind: “I must dominate, rule, punish, harm” “I have had no achievements” “I have no resources” “I am not likable or desirable” “I cannot build a following nor participate in one” “I cannot build an organization nor participate in one” “I can only use deceit and cunning because of this” “I will use deceit and cunning to self promote at all times” “I will shift locations, alliances, positions, tactics, claims, anything, and deny anything else, in order to exercise my sociopathy and related rewards” This person will always favor despotism because it is in his interests. Because there is no other means by which those without merit can exercise any agency over those others they envy, despise, and hate. THAT IS A CHAIN OF REASONING.

(FB 1549831818 Timestamp) There is a difference between intelligence and cunning. Intelligence is the moral application of one’s ability, and cunning the immoral application of one’s ability. Unfortunately the academy specializes in teaching the practice of cunning rather than the practice of intelligence. Why? The size of the market for immoral persuasion is greater than the size of market for moral persuasion. (Albeit we all screw up. Me certainly and often.)

(FB 1550019076 Timestamp) TERMINAL MORONITUDE —“FWIW: “There is no ‘wrong’. There is only what people will retaliate against you for doing.” They retaliate against you for some reason. That reason is the imposition of costs upon that which they have born costs to obtain an interest. it’s that simple. Propertarianism isn’t excuses making for priors. It’s just empirical evidence of the accumulated history of mankind across all civilizations.”— CURTD —“Moral relativism is always a red flag.”—Moron Um, it’s MORAL ABSOLUTISM. You silly git. it’s EMPIRICAL moral absolutism.

(FB 1550012137 Timestamp) NO PEDOPHILIACS ON MY PAGE PLEASE There are true arguments that are bad arguments. There are true arguments I don’t want to be associated with – largely permissiveness of impulse. —“…marriage and sex limits on age need to be eliminated. …. I made a logical argument … you aren’t open to criticism like you claim…”— A Member of the Tribe. Actually, you’re lying right? 1) I made the argument that you’re making at true but BAD argument that is not one I want made in my territory so to speak. (and I asked you to stop repeatedly.) 2) I’m saying you may possess a genetic defect that is fairly common in certain sub-groups that occurs comorbidly with higher risk of sexual identity problems, higher risk of sexual predation, higher affinity for engaging in pornography, gambling, moral hazard, and higher risk of schizotypal personality disorders. 3) I’m saying that by not dropping this argument you are demonstrating that (2*) is not only likely, but certain. 4) And you’re banned. Goodbye. It doesn’t matter if its true and I agree. I don’t want it here any more than I want a dog scratching its ass on my carpet It’s a dog. Dogs will do that. However, I don’t want to talk about it. Please take warnings seriously. Thanks
