Stupor Bowl Sunday served tomorrow. Athletes on the halfshell for your visual enjoyment. Elon takes to the airwaves with a DOGE blipvert. I have read very sourced good authority - based then - has it these “spots” are mind control within a mind control box owned by Thule and Subsidiaries, Ltd. Under contract by DOGE the company produces beneficial images for the client. Helping individuals find friends in health say. Vaccine Club. No one talks about it. Will DOGE? Dare they go after Covid after hugging bird flu?
In a book written by the French novelist, diplomat and travel writer, Arthur Comte de Gobineau – namely his Religions and Philosophies of Central Asia. -Ketman is a protective attitude of silence and opaqueness adopted by men living in Muslim-dominated lands who are not themselves Muslims, a way of keeping your most personal beliefs to yourself. There are several pages of direct quotation from Gobineau and explications of Ketman, before Miłosz (The Captive Mind) goes on to apply this idea to people living under Soviet rule who conform but don’t believe. Because under a communist regime, everyone is an actor. Everyone acts all the time till it becomes second nature. Everyone lies, deceives,.....
A New Yorker piece on Chinese-dissident artists asked Wang why younger artists might hesitate to address politics the way he did in 1979. “I think it all has to do with money,” he said. “If you don’t focus on politics and just do commercial work, your life is good.” Wang, who has lived in Paris since 1984, also argued that there’s more repression now than in the early eighties, when it seemed as though China’s economic reforms might bring about political liberalization. “That was a special time,” he said, but now, “if Chinese artists criticize or cause trouble, they’ll get taken away.”

Philosophy is an art rather than a science. Philosophy is a special art, differing in principle from poetry, music, or painting—it is the art of knowing. Philosophy is art because it is creation. Philosophy is art because it predicates a calling and a special gift from above, because the personality of its creator is impressed upon it, no less than on music or poetry…. Philosophy is the art of knowing in freedom by creating ideas which resist the given world and necessity and penetrate into the ultimate essence of the world. We cannot make art dependent upon science, creativeness upon adaptation, freedom upon necessity.

God the Creator cannot be responsible for freedom which gave rise to evil. Man is the child of God and the child of freedom - of nothing, of non- being, (greek equivalent). Meonic freedom consented to God's act of creation; non-being freely accepted being" (THE DESTINY OF MAN, 34). Hence it follows that God has no power over freedom which is not created by him: "God the Creator is all-powerful over being, over the created world, but He has no power over non- being, over the uncreated freedom" (ibid.). This freedom is prior to good and evil, it conditions the possibility of both good and evil. According to Berdyaev, the actions of a being possessing free will cannot be forseen even by God, since they are entirely free. Berdyaev denies God's omnipotence and omniscience and maintains that He does not create the cosmic entities' will, which springs from the UNGRUND, but merely helps that will to become good; he is led to that conclusion by his conviction that freedom cannot be created and that if it were, God would be responsible for cosmic evil. A theodicy would then be impossible, Berdyaev thinks.
Evil arises when the irrational freedom leads to the violation of the Divine hierarchy of being and to seperation from God owing to the pride of the spirit desiring to put itself in the place of God. This results in disintegration, in material and natural being, and in slavery instead of freedom. But in the last resort, the origin of evil remains the greatest and most inexplicable mystery (AN ESSAY ON ESCHATOLOGICAL METAPHYSICS, 127)

One thing you learn when you put out bird seed, is that the birds have their power trips and hierarchies just as we do, and you watch those play out in generally pecky but peaceful ways. The birds fight much less over the food found in the wild, its the food we put out that seems to be instigate these conflicts. So I have come to the conclusion that the problem is the birdfeeder, and the dependence on humans it can initiate. Letting plants go to seed and remain standing all winter is a much better, less fought over, fresher source of food than a feeder. Extrapolate.
Fair enough I guess.
If freedom is what we want then freedom to choose evil is fair enough.
As in freedom of speech doesn't need to be nice speech.
How to discourage people choosing evil that injures one is another matter.
Consequences.
