    Law and the Origin of Human Conduct

    What is being addressed by my post is the universal claim, by so called authorities, that their actions against persons are predicated upon and determined by letter of law. I am not discussing theory of natural law, hence no reference is made to a putative inherent human sense of justice. The...

    Law and the Origin of Human Conduct

    The first sentence describes that which I subsequently dismantle as a core mistaken presupposition of all law/jurisprudence. Interesting that you read the sentence as my position, while, all the while I am merely describing the status quo via the sentence. I could rewrite the statement to...

    Law and the Origin of Human Conduct

    I said that we now entertain the "notion" that law is a directorial force within our sociosphere, which notion I am challenging, disagreeing with and, I then explain an opposite perspective of how human conduct actually originates. I am explaining that when it comes to human beings law is not a...

    Law and the Origin of Human Conduct

    The U.S. Bill of Rights is a commendable attempt to uphold and advance our several human ontological freedoms by law. Now, in this century, we have greater knowledge of our ontological structure as beings continually engaged in our futures; and that knowledge understands that no given state of...

    Law and the Origin of Human Conduct

    Law and the Origin of Human Conduct The status quo takes as the basis of every legal system the notion that law is an active directorial force, capable of determining everyone’s conduct, particularly that of lawyers, police and prosecutorial officers, judges, and legislators. The notion that...

    Knowing via eating fruit constitutes the basis of Judaism/Christianity.

    That disobedience to Jehovah's "law'' constitutes "sin'' is the grandest dishonorable con of all time, for all human determination to act originates ex nihilo, out of the non-being of the freedom of the actor, and never out of some given state of affairs like law. Omnis determinatio est negatio...

    Knowing via eating fruit constitutes the basis of Judaism/Christianity.

    Indeed, via that exposition I learn that biblical nonsensicality wildly exceeds my original estimation. Base 12 holds a PhD in radically senseless transcendent absurdity!

    Knowing via eating fruit constitutes the basis of Judaism/Christianity.

    Not that it is any of your business, and, you are clearly bent on pursuing an argumentum ad hominem, (instead of explaining how eating fruit is educational), Buddhism is more sensible. Simply to question that fruit is efficient to give knowledge is not to "warp" scripture, which is already...

    Knowing via eating fruit constitutes the basis of Judaism/Christianity.

    So, you think eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil is merely metaphorical and, that Adam and Eve were actually reading some written script?

    Knowing via eating fruit constitutes the basis of Judaism/Christianity.

    You mistakenly presuppose I exercise a "faith'' in something or someone other than common sense and rational reason; and, this is not about me...its about scripture.

    Knowing via eating fruit constitutes the basis of Judaism/Christianity.

    Rising again from death; raising the dead; being inside a whale's belly; parting the sea; walking on water; feeding the multitude; determining human conduct via law; being deity; living 969 years; virgin birth; six days of creation; 6000 year old earth; the devil; angels; Christ returning out of...

    Knowing via eating fruit constitutes the basis of Judaism/Christianity.

    The notion that a human can gain knowledge by eating the fruit of a tree, is absolutely absurd, and, does not happen. The idea that the impossible attainment of knowledge of good and evil, by eating a forbidden fruit, constituted Adam and Eve sinners worthy of punishment, is psychotic. The...

    Law

    When, across America, there become multiple ongoing instances of criminally overzealous law enforcement, for example, by police regularly murdering citizens in connection with enforcing extremely minor legal concerns, it becomes proper to critique the very notion of law itself, (via examining...

    ''...to fetch...''

    I do not disagree with your poetic description.

    ''...to fetch...''

    DNB; Yes indeed one may conjure questions regarding the actual structure of the situation as extensively as one's imagination permits. I merely want to use the rhyme for the purpose of lending possible simplicity to outlining how human action always happens only as an engagement in what is not...

    ''...to fetch...''

    With that scripture the term 'fetch' is connoting the possibility of conjuring water from rock, lending grandeur to the possible outcome.

    ''...to fetch...''

    Whether narratively or descriptively presented, the mental pattern of the intentional act of getting a pail of needed water is exactly the same. Jack and Jill's pail is empty of water. The need is for water. They fail to obtain the desired water. Emptiness; need; absence; desire; failure; each...

    ''...to fetch...''

    I am intending to unwrap all that is mentally involved in the process of fetching or getting something, and think it simplifies things to say we want to get a particular intended objective rather than fetch our goal, in order to reduce any possible confusion and to entirely dispense with...
