The Logical Truth
One is logical or not.
If one is not logical one is free.
You can wonder where you will, both physically and mentally. You can explore where you will, build what you will. It does not matter if any of it makes sense. You are free as only the irrational and insane can be.
This is a condition known as apriotic. In mild cases the person simply does not wish to work. he does not wish to grow up. He does not wish to take responsibility for himself. And so he becomes a criminal, a politician, banker, investor or lawyer, or he becomes a ward of the state. He may just continue to live as a dependent of his parents.
If one is logical, one is not free. Logic constrains. Logic binds. We are bound together by logic because logic does not free you once you are enmeshed in the dictatorial requirements of logic.
In logic there is only one answer because there is only one logical conclusion.
Logic leads to perfection because in logic there is truth and truth is absolute.
There are no problems in logic other than logical problems because logic eliminates problems in the logic of its arguments.
If it is not logical it does not make sense, regardless of how many people believe it or think it is necessary. In that sense, unemployment is a logical absurdity, no matter how many economists and politicians try and explain how necessary and unavoidable it is.
But no one can justify the existence of the state, other than by first assuming it exists, because the state is the reason for its own existence. It is, because it is. It exists because its existence makes its existence necessary. This is why the state is the abomination of desolation for it sits in the same conceptual place as God.
But no parasite can be logically justified, and the state is the mother of all parasites.
The state taxes us not because taxes are a good thing or even the best thing. The state taxes us because the only way the state is able to survive is through extortion. If anyone has the choice, no one will pay for it.
This is the same excuse given for public works, namely that no one, given the choice, would pay for them. Why would they give profits to random people if they did not have to. It’s not like people would pay for anything if given the option. The point is that they will pay for real goods and services to get them. But obviously a road is not a product in the way a car or house is a product only in that a road cannot be owned by the user, as a road is a facility more than a product, if we define a product as something owned or possessed by a consumer, whereas a facility is used by the consumer without being owned or kept in their possession.
In this world we are taught to want freedom, but that can this even mean? What is there to be free from that we ought to be free from? The things we should be free from are the things we create, for example poverty and crime. We can and ought to be free from these things, but if this is true, why do we create them?
There is a logical problem with valuing freedom. We think we are gaining freedom when we seek to separate from certain things, but when freedom is made a central concern what happens is that we lose a sense of responsibility. We may not even want to take responsibility for ourselves, which means we remain in a child-like or dependency state.
This happens to a lot of people. We all mature physically but we do not all mature spiritually. We may look like adults and act like adults, in some respects, but we never assume the responsibility of adults. Many of the spiritually immature will not work and prefer to be wards of the state if not criminals.
It’s a dangerous precedent to strive for freedom from our responsibilities, even the responsibility for raising up the new generation, as all of our ancestors did for us.
It is not truly logical to put the individual before the group if the individual success does not benefit the group. It is not even that wise to gamble that if we permit individuals to succeed on their own terms, that perhaps they will end up benefitting the group.
Logically we would find a way to benefit those who benefitted the group the most, while penalizing anyone who wanted to benefit themselves at the expense of the group.
But how does the group make the group obedient to the groups needs? It’s a convoluted question that has never been answered, because ultimately a group is not a thing but a collection of individuals.
But perhaps we have asked the wrong questions and so have got the wrong answers. Is it really a group that we ought to be aspiring to benefit? Perhaps what we need is a higher order destination or objective? Perhaps we are created for something more than greed, even when it helps our group.
We as a species are striving for Dominion. This planet was made for us but it was not made perfect if it was, we would not have Dominion over it. It was made so we could exercise dominion.
The Mission of man is to achieve dominion over the earth and the things of the earth.
Genesis 1: 27-28. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
This is our first and true mission even taking precedence over the Great Commission.
It is our mission to subdue the earth.
If we do not do this how can we prosper? If we are fighting each other over portions of it, how can this translate into dominion?
To have dominion or to dominate, requires a shared or organized authority. We must speak with a single voice. But to have dominion is not to have supreme power over the earth. To have dominion is to have the authority of use. Our needs predominate. There is nothing on earth that pre-empts our claim or rights of use.
But does this mean we can individually just do what we wish to the earth, as if it had no protections?
The environmentalists were right that the earth is not to be exploited. To retain dominion, we need to exercise responsibility, we need to be accountable to each other for the use we make of the earth.
We need to replace the value we consume. This is not just having children to repay past generations for the cost of our own existence, but we need to create more value to replace the value our living consumes.
The earth is ours as the church. We are the church as the world. There is the local church but the church itself in the global sense is the earth.
Our charity ought to replenish the earth.
Logic requires a goal. Logic requires a destination. Logic must have a standard to aspire to. Logic requires us to be heading somewhere by some means or other.
The Bible calls it the replenishment of the earth, but this requires we restore all the value we consumed in our living.
The truth is what makes logical sense. It must be true that we need to replenish the earth otherwise we would soon destroy it. It is true that there must be a logical destination to aim for, otherwise there is no direction to our living.
It must be true there is a solution to the problems of the world, otherwise we could not understand that we have problems. It is only by comparing what we have to what we know we ought to have, that we know we fall short of what we ought to have.
Apriorians are people committed to logic and to the logical truth that tells us that there must be a New Era on the horizon. There is no logical path to the perfection of the system we are in, and so we need a disjunction between the past and the future which bespeaks of a new era. A new Era in which the problems of the present have been by-passed by the formation of a new way of doing things; a logical way which does not perpetuate the problems of the past.
We call this the Apriorian Way, or the way of logical thought. Apriorians are logical and represent a new way of thinking, a new mind or consciousness that is aware of perfection.
Apriorians, meaning those who follow the Apriorian Way, strive to live logical lives. Aprioria is the new earth, that is the new Christian Era. It is earmarked by the elimination of the Ten Great Evils and the removal of the Five Foundational Errors.
The Ten Great Evils are unemployment, debt, poverty, inflation, pollution, waste, taxation, homelessness, war, and crime. These are the harbingers of the state.
The Five Foundational Errors that give the state is power are democracy, ownership, our currency, laws, and power disparities.
