A bsolutism

Post by RWStanding »

Absolutism
Absolute values do not exist, they are all conditioned or qualified by other values. And taking one value in isolation as a form of reductionism is folly. It enables bigots and authoritarians to construct law books with lists of commands that cannot be questioned. Absolutism thrives on a binary model of society and ethics, which creates conflict between the extreme wings and flummery in the centre. There are some terms which may be employed to categorise whole sets of values – anarchism, tyranny, altruism, as a triad and far from binary. But they are merely indicative, and do not have distinct meaning provided by dictionaries [that merely reflect current opinion]. What they mean derives from the component values, combined with opoosition to other values. Altruist society is what is contray to tyranny and anarchism. A tyranny or authoritarian society has values that are in direct opposition to the particular dimension of values that are shared by altruism and anarchism – concepts of freedom and equality. If anyone refers to any activity in terms of absolute freedom, the outcome is intrinsically dangerous folly. There is no such thing as absolute free-trade, in all parts of the world it has some regulation, and where it seemingly does not it can be assumed trade is in the hands of those who control that society, as a contradition of freedom. Altruist democracy has two dimensions of values, the one mentioned shared by anarchism, the other consisting of such values as responsibility, diversity, pragmatism, ocf which anarchism is deficient. Anarchism shares dimension of freedom with altruism, but has a second dimension consisting mainly of egoism.
One great contradiction between the triad of societies, is that anarchism has minimal unity and maximum personal autonomy. Altruism is holistic with component communities that cooperate. Tyranny is unitary with an ego centred on the state. It is more than probable that the only form of global and local societies that can exist long term is that of altruism – or it may be said responsible equality. Holistic not only incorporating humanity but also the whole of nature.
If we had a catalogue of social dues instead of personal rights, there would still be rights subsidiary to the dues. But the emphasis would be quite different. That is in altruist society. Society or the community required to educate children and its people. Those children then responsible to employ that gift for the good of the community. Employment provided for people in the community according to need and abilities. The population of a holistic community limited by its natural capacity. Wealth as social goods increasing as may be only through technological progress.
Naturally, if social order breaks down globally, then anti-society is created. Survivalism would require any remaining society or community to protect its integrity.

I understand. There is a strong likelihood that the only sustainable form of global and local societies is one based on altruism, or what can be called responsible fairness skibidi toilet game This approach should not only consider humanity but also the entirety of nature in a holistic manner.
