the law itself may be nonsensical and unintelligible... enforcement- selective enforcement is never nonsensical, it is tyrannical... defund everything and use a shotgun -Imp Appears that you are radically angry regarding the constant misconduct of inauthoritative authorities; however, human existen...

No, the difficulty I am confronting is radically real. Our so-called legal justice system is manned entirely by persons who actually do not have an understanding of what human freedom is, and, for their living, are continually persecuting ontologically free citizens via an instrument called "la...

In our American legalistic society it is simply presumed, supposed, presupposed, that law, a language, is somehow (it is not explained how) directly determinative of human conduct, and/or, that persons somehow determine themselves to act, or not, by law. In philosophy, when attacking an untenable po...

EXISTENTIAL ONTOLOGICAL CRITIQUE OF LAW Law is existentially nonsensical and unintelligible, for there is no human ontological rationality attendant upon the mistaken jurisprudential presupposition that language of law is determinative of behavior. Supposed law mediated jurisprudential/prosecutorial...

LAW and CIVILIZATION 1. Now that America is replete with senseless homicide by zealot militaristic police, who murder citizens while absolutistically enforcing unviable miniscule ordinances, it is apt to critique the very notion of law itself, (via examining the most up to date thinking regarding ho...

The question: "Why is there something as opposed to nothing?" is unanswerable because "nothing" (as currently defined/thought of) does not exist in reality (it exists only as [an incorrect] thought/idea). If the question itself is in error (based upon an incorrect model of reali...

Hi. I was reading Plato: Complete Works (edited by John M. Cooper) years ago and came across a sentence/sentences like this: The masses believe whatever they hear on the street. The aim of education is to raise us above that level so that we don’t believe whatever we hear on the street. Of course t...

No, I am negating you through determination...what you are not subject to your own laws? You yourself are essentially dead, in the sense that you are a mere blowhard, entirely lacking formal collegiate education, exhibiting your abysmal ig'nance You are apparently ignorant about "ig'nance"...

"Start with nothingness." No, incorrect; i.e., nothingness is not originative ground of concrete being; rather, nothingness upsurges from the negation of concrete being. (See Being and Nothingness, J.P. Sartre, 1943). Concrete being is prior to nothing/nothingness. See Martin Heidegger's B...

Query: is it possible to infer 'that I am' if: "I am" is *also* unknown unto *itself? No it is not possible. Non-Self-Consciousness simply is not self-conscious. Self-consciousness is a reflection infinitely reflecting off of/upon itself across a distance/hiatus which is nothingness via wh...

Spinoza is dead, but worse spinoza is boring and sucks dictum. No, I am negating you through determination...what you are not subject to your own laws? You yourself are essentially dead, in the sense that you are a mere blowhard, entirely lacking formal collegiate education, exhibiting your abysmal...

Surely one acknowledges what is, in so far as one apprehends what is from one's own particular perspectival view. My writing acknowledges what I see to be the extant state of affairs, world-wide, in regard to the vain and mistaken attempt to mediate civilization via law posited against man, instead...

LAW IS NEITHER OBEYED DISOBEYED NOR BROKEN No person in fact ever determines to act or forbear action on the basis of given published language of law, and, therefore, language of law, absolutely without originative connection with intentional human action/inaction, can, actually, be neither obeyed,...
