Chapter 14: The Unsinkable Nation

Health and disease are like a strong fire burning. If you remove the fuel or you remove the oxygen, the fire can diminish and it can even go out. While the fire is still burning you can return the fuel and return the oxygen, the diminished fire can be restored and become strong once again. But if the fire goes out, returning the fuel and returning the oxygen will do nothing to restore the fire.

Societies that are truly healthy will have their principles and laws founded on purposeful established truth. Societies that are diseased will have their principles and laws founded on fluctuating contemporary circular logic. A healthy society is guided by purposeful established truth. A diseased society is guided by fluctuating contemporary circular logic. What is disease? Disease is the lack of health. What is health? Health is the lack of disease. We cannot genuinely define disease and health using these circular definitions. In order to genuinely define what disease and health are, we need to actually think about what the foundational truth is instead of mindlessly hiding our ignorance using circular logic. Are you satisfied with the circular definitions of disease and health? If you satisfied, then you will go on the rest of your life being ignorantly manipulated by newspeak and doublespeak similar to the classic novel 1984. A society that seeks to maintain principles and laws founded on purposeful established truth will remain healthy and enjoy the fruits of prosperity. A society that seeks to abandon its principles and laws in favor of fluctuating contemporary circular logic will become diseased and suffer the maladies of poverty and tyranny.

The purposeful established truth is that human society is comprised of people who are of two biologically distinct genders, who are created to be male or female at conception. The purposeful established truth is that the two biologically and psychologically distinct genders were created to be equal in value with intrinsically different specialties, provisions, motivations, and fulfillments. The purposeful established truth is that people of each biologically and psychologically unique gender tend to have the highest level of overall long term fulfillment when they have their specialties fully utilized, have their necessary provisions satisfied, and are encouraged through their unique motivations. The purposeful established truth is that people of each biologically and psychologically unique gender have a higher risk of anxiety and depression when they abandon their specialties, disregard their necessary provisions, are pressured through unnatural motivations. The purposeful established truth is that the two biologically and psychological different genders were uniquely designed to complement each other for the long term benefit of society. The purposeful established truth is that the conditions children in each generation face will significantly impact the condition of society for all future generations. The purposeful established truth is the personhood, preciousness, priority, protection, and investment in children are all essential to the long term health, stability, and prosperity of a society. The purposeful established truth is that each biologically and psychologically unique gender provides different specialties, provisions, motivations, and fulfillments that are all essential to the beneficial development of each child. The purposeful established truth is that the life-long unconditional committed marriage between a man and a woman is the essential foundation for the long term health, stability, and prosperity of human society. A society that is truly healthy will have their principles and laws founded on purposeful established truth affirming that all of its children as infinitely precious, persons of the highest priority, and worthy of loving sacrificial protection and investment.

The fluctuating contemporary circular logic is that human society is comprised of people who arbitrarily identify themselves as being male or female, which can fluctuate depending on their momentary preferences. The fluctuating contemporary circular logic is that when a person who identifies themselves with a specific gender must comply with all the stereotypes of that gender, and the decision for which set of stereotypes to comply with determines which gender that a person should momentarily identify with. The fluctuating contemporary circular logic is that the arbitrary genders are each just a set of subjective stereotypes that do not necessarily complement each other to provide any additional objective benefit to society. The fluctuating contemporary circular logic is that the legacy and priority of each generation should be the world it leaves to its children instead of being the children it leaves to the world. The fluctuating contemporary circular logic is that next generation must be sacrificed in order to create a more convenient world to leave to the next generation. The fluctuating contemporary circular logic is that more sacrifice and investment has already been made in the people of the current generation, so the people of the current generation are a higher priority and do not need to self-sacrifice nor invest in the children of the next generation. The fluctuating contemporary circular logic is that the personhood, preciousness, priority, protection, and investment in the people of the current generation was inherited, but the personhood, preciousness, priority, protection, and investment in the children of the next generation must be earned or forfeited. The fluctuating contemporary circular logic is that the short-term selfish conveniences and desires of the current generation are a higher priority than the personhood, preciousness, priority, protection, and investment in the children of the next generation. A society that is diseased will have its principles and laws founded on fluctuating contemporary circular logic in order to pursue harmful selfish desires while neglecting the preciousness, priority, sacrifice, protection, and investment that is necessary to breathe life into the next generation of children, who will impact the condition of society for all future generations.

The disease in a society cannot be treated until it is first diagnosed. The disease in a society cannot be diagnosed until the society regains knowledge about what it means to be healthy. A society cannot regain knowledge about what it means to be healthy if is mired in ignorance by selfish desires and contemporary isolation. A society can only regain knowledge about what it means to be healthy by learning from the wisdom of past generations of classical thinkers who were all equally human and equally endowed with human intelligence.

If we define disease as a lack of health, why can we not define health as a lack of disease? Is there an objective reality from which we can use to define health? Why is a healthy parasite or a healthy cancer a contradiction?

The United States is like the Titanic, which was thought to be unsinkable until it did not maneuver around an iceberg. The United States is like man who promises never to become like an abusive father but somehow repeats the pattern.

Technologically our nation is still progressing based on the inertia of the momentum imparted on us by the wisdom of our Founding Fathers. However, there are strong forces at work to suddenly change the direction of this momentum. As happened with the collapse of the Roman Empire, political, economic, military, and social forces can quickly turn technological progression into unthinkable technological regression, especially when a prideful and arrogant leader leaves its nation and its allies vulnerable to attack. However, it is the attack from within that can mutilate a nation’s principles until the nation is unrecognizable. Is not an overbearing central government the very thing our Founding Fathers risked a treasonous death to lead a revolution against? Is not a large federal government, the very thing our Founding Fathers designed the Constitution to prevent? Article I, Section 3 of the Constitution explicitly stated that the Senators should be chosen by the State Legislatures.

The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State,

chosen by the Legislature thereof, for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote.

Immediately after they shall be assembled in Consequence of the first Election, they shall

be divided as equally as may be into three Classes. The Seats of the Senators of the first
https://www.smashwords.com/extreader/read/801094/59/the-war-against-truth

Class shall be vacated at the Expiration of the second Year, of the second Class at the

Expiration of the fourth Year, and of the third Class at the Expiration of the sixth Year, so

that one third may be chosen every second Year; and if Vacancies happen by

Resignation, or otherwise, during the Recess of the Legislature of any State, the

Executive thereof may make temporary Appointments until the next Meeting of the

Legislature, which shall then fill such Vacancies.

The 17th amendment was passed in 1913 during presidency of Woodrow Wilson rewrote the fabric of the Constitution.

The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State,

elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The

electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most

numerous branch of the State legislatures.
https://www.smashwords.com/extreader/read/801094/60/the-war-against-truth

When vacancies happen in the representation of any State in the Senate, the executive

authority of such State shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies: Provided, That

the legislature of any State may empower the executive thereof to make temporary

appointments until the people fill the vacancies by election as the legislature may direct.

This amendment shall not be so construed as to affect the election or term of any Senator

chosen before it becomes valid as part of the Constitution.

The Constitution was designed with checks and balances to prevent the federal government from becoming too large. The power of the states to choose the Senators would prevent the federal government from amassing power. The incentive of the Senators was to defend the interests of the States whereas the incentive of the House of Representatives was to defend the interests of the people. The House of Representatives would naturally have the dishonest inclination to increase federal taxes and use a faction of it to bribe their constituents with pork legislation, benefits, and other amenities to steal reelection. The purpose of the Senators was to block this dishonest inclination and prevent the Federal government from stealing money from the states via federal taxation without representation. The seventeenth amendment made it so the Senators had the same dishonest inclination as the House of Representatives to bribe their constituents, so there was no longer a check to prevent the federal government from amassing unchecked power. The federal government now could steal money from the states via federal taxation and then only return some of the stolen money as bribes for reelection or as directives with strings attached. The federal government could then steal money and use for its pet projects fueled by pride, envy, and covetousness. This is the reason why when Founding Fathers designed the Constitution, they explicitly designed our nation with checks and balances to be a republic and not a democracy. It has been over a 100 years since the 17th amendment was passed, which was a regression, not a progression. The following words are attributed to Alex de Tocqueville.

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.

Do you think a large federal government is a progression or a regression? Do you think that pride, envy, and covetousness cause all democracies to fail? Do you think technology has changed human nature? Do you think contemporary politicians are more intelligent that the Founding Fathers? Do you think that the 17th amendment has made our republic susceptible to the same fate as past democracies? Were the Founding Fathers treasonous traitors? Do you think the Founding Fathers only used contemporary ideas to draft the Constitution or did they learn from classic thinkers and history itself? Do you think the Founding Fathers planned how to rebuild civilization before they declared revolution? Can a revolution make things worse if there is no plan on what to do after? Do you think that the declaration of independence is obsolete and no has relevance to today?

True knowledge is like a tree that has its roots deeply entrenched in rich beneficial soil. The true knowledge in everyone cannot be fabricated but takes time to grow requiring the necessarily ingredients, water, nutrients, and sunlight.

People who are truly knowledgeable have their knowledge and definitions established on foundational truth. People who are ignorant have their information and definitions established on circular logic, which is the illusion of knowledge. True knowledge is established on foundational truth. The illusion of knowledge is established on circular definitions. What is ignorance? Ignorance is the lack of knowledge. What is knowledge? Knowledge is the lack of ignorance. Are you satisfied with the circular definitions of knowledge and ignorance? If you satisfied, then you will go on the rest of your life being ignorantly manipulated by newspeak and doublespeak similar to that in the classic novel 1984. A person who seeks out facts and beneficial experiences will increase in true knowledge. A person who rejects facts and beneficial experiences will not increase in knowledge.

True knowledge is facts, information, and skills that are learned and acquired by a person through experience and reflective thought. Genuine education is a catalyst that allows a person to learn and acquire accurate facts, reliable information, and practical skills at an accelerated rate. Genuine education provides the resources and opportunity for a person to encounter facts and information. Genuine education provides the tools and opportunity for a person to practice practical skills and learn from reading the works of classic thinkers. Genuine education allows a person the environment and opportunity to engage in reflective thought. Genuine education cannot directly transfer knowledge and skills from one person to another. Genuine education can only indirectly provide the tools and opportunity for a person to learn and acquire the knowledge and skills at a faster rate.

Ignorance is a lack of experience and reflective thought manifesting itself in a deficiency of knowledge, which is inherently caused by the pursuit harmful desires and isolation. Artificial education is a parasite that obstructs and diverts a person away from learning and acquiring accurate facts, reliable information, and practical skills. Artificial education encourages a complete dependence on contemporary authority for validation, which obstructs the transparency of facts and information. Artificial education imbeds and preserves impractical skills that have been abstracted to the point they have no application outside of the academic environment that self-promotes those skills. Artificial education conceals and protects itself by discouraging reflective thought and classical ideas through personal insults, public humiliation, and implicit threats of exclusion. Artificial education floods society with contemporary self-promoting propaganda claiming its supporters are the most intelligent people who have ever lived, their work is essential to the survival of society, and one day in the far future some less intelligent engineers will use it to invent an amazing application; anyone who disputes their impractical skills and circular definitions is slandered as being unintelligent or ignorant. Artificial education is a parasite that hides within genuine education and feeds of the fruits of genuine education to conceal its own damaging effects.

A parasite that immediately kills its host will go extinct. A parasite that does subtle damage can spread from host to host and do far more damage. Eventually, if a parasite does enough damage, it can be detected and removed. Why is the cost of education increasing? Why is the national debt increasing? Why does a host with a parasite need more food to survive? We have diagnosed the fact that our society is diseased and suffers from the parasite of Artificial Education, so now we need to remove the parasite. Many times you cannot forcibly remove a parasite, but rather you need to stimulate it to leave. Artificial education will defend itself because it is the livelihood for many people who have no practical skills. Artificial education cannot be forcibly removed because it protects itself using personal insults, public humiliation, and implicit threats of exclusion.

Artificial education can be removed by stimulating colleges and universities to end the contemporary “academic bubble of isolation” and stop diverting students away from reading the works of classical thinkers and indoctrinating them to affirm the pursuit of harmful desires. Once the parasite of artificial education is removed, genuine education can fully flourish once again. The parasite of artificial education will never be removed if we choose to remain in denial of its existence.

If we define ignorance as a lack of knowledge, why can we not define knowledge as a lack of ignorance? Is there an objective reality from which we can use to define true knowledge? Why do you think education is often the frontline in the war against truth?
