To Trump Tyranny

People write books because they have something to say, but that is not the same as wanting to be heard. One person feels helpless to do anything against an overwhelming force of adversity. No matter how much repression is had, ideas will remain forever free for the taking. Totalitarian regimes rule through authoritarian decrees in hopes of disrupting the distribution of critical discourse among the general population. This brings us to the inference that people are generally reluctant to think critically which is why mediocrity prevails even in the most intellectually rich societies.

Society treats intellectuals with ambivalence because we never know what to fully make of their ideas as their standing contemporaries. Mastering the present depicts an impossible task. Learning is influenced by history through its chronicled legacies. There is one reality that trumps all others and that rests with the fact mankind will forever remain developmentally challenged. Knowledge is ever-changing which influences the actual formation of ideas. Generationalism affords exceptionalism to people separated by the ages wrestling with the great crises of their time.

It is thought that no greater struggle or terror existed up until the present without ever considering histories long since removed and forgotten from man’s existential time capsule. It becomes a matter of undeniable fact that a great deal of history will remain unknown rendering its literal discovery impossible. We dismiss those inadvertent truisms of the unknown as inconsequential speculations that matter little in the present. Man’s imperfection is everlasting irrespective of his generational placement in time.

To know weakness is to know mortality which in this case is characteristically human. Anything beyond that asks us to be more than what we are.

That gives rise to oppression which inspires atrocity only to be recognized as a source of man’s historical imperfection. Discover inside to learn more…

 

Consciousness Renewed

Each writer that has and will ever exist is naturally a bold person. They are not the best-spoken people which is why they became writers in the first place. They would rather write what they have to say because of their contemplative personalities. To such a mindset, it usually takes a while for a reality to sink in because as a matter of principle, the writer ponders extensively on constructs of why, when, and how. To the writer, the best come back materializes in the mind well after an encounter has been experienced in the flesh.

At some point, a writer endeavors to write one of the best works of their time. There is no true description of such work other than it must resonate with its time. Rest assured, this work is not it. Rather, it is a compilation of entries consisting of thoughts and reflections on issues ranging from current events to philosophic challenges that continue to prosecute the human condition. This work was written from the standpoint of an autodidact observer that has striven to establish a series of fresh perspectives on reality relative to the timing of its publication.

This work was not fashioned as a conclusive work. There are many open-ended propositions established along the way with the intention of offering the reader something to ponder. The act of thinking, has always been an extraordinary act. That is becoming much more pronounced in a world where aggressive tides of ignorance, bigotry, and xenophobia are on the rise. The contents of this work is geared to provoke intellectual discourse among non-institutional thinkers.

The author has been a staunch advocate supporting an alternative to academia and the mainstream intelligentsia considering the productions of mind are hardly confinable to elitism.

The author presents this work to anybody willing to read; not as an institutional somebody, but ultimately, as an intellectual nobody.

 

Nuances of Axiomatic Logic

A pursuit of logic is obsessed with the discovery of truth. As simple as the truth is, there is no easy way to explain it because anything can be justified with the proper amount of prose. This book is best described as an experiment of the mind. It offers philosophic prose of reason in hopes of deriving the most logical conclusion for each entry. Dynamics of the human mind, issues confronting the human condition, and alibis for power are discussed within this work.

Each entry is arranged in the manner in which it was composed. There is no table of contents which is explained by the book’s unconventional format. In one way or another, we are wonderers surveying the truth while configuring ways in which we can apply its many revelations. In our current age, we are consumed with material qualifications stipulating on human capability. Our world has produced a person viewed as a container forced to redeem the value of their worth to a faceless utilitarian system.

Human individuality has turned into a superficial outlet where each person competes for the highest advantage over another. We uniformly face one existential question, where has the integrity of mind gone? One of man’s greatest outlets is found in his intelligence. Each idea has potential to entertain a new proposition of what could be. From there, we render an ability to work toward a better world knowing full well that perfection is beyond our reach.

Logic describes a seemingly perfect vision of the world, but reason equally reminds us that we are all too human. Reason excites the creative dynamics of mind, but logic reinforces man’s limitations. One is malleable while the other is immovable. Our ability to reason with both worlds is the surest way to an intellectual advantage.

It is vindicated by discourse, neglected by most, but revered by a few.

 

The Big Picture Diagram

The unknown author of this work offers an independent interpretation of the overall state of the human condition. To understand the nature of civilization it becomes crucial to develop a critical appreciation of the human condition. This work is best described as a literary catharsis of mind. The world is awash in genocidal atrocity; its overbearing reality has desensitized us to it simultaneously. That is one of the many reasons why independent citizens ignore it.

This particular work was written out of an exasperated concern for the overall state of the human condition as of 2015. As much as we want to reverse trends of genocidal atrocity we often become accomplices to it. However, the freewill of choice stands as the most crucial decisive factor. On that note we can’t help but to wonder, as a morally conscientious humanity will we have the fortitude to make ourselves heard? What if more independent authors wrote their respective literary catharsis on human civilization?

Would it be possible to derive a more comprehensive appreciation of civilization’s relationship with the human condition? Historically, independent citizens with nothing but their acumen are by far some of the most neglected and powerless members of mainstream society. That is especially true when faced with the prosecution of a more civilized reality. The author of this work argues that interpretive acumen is the strongest suit of the intellectual.

When the former is forged into a literary catharsis, the power of interpretive acumen is afforded an eternal platform for posterity’s enjoyment.

 

An Anthology of Logical Prose

Every idea is shrouded in some kind of opinion. Philosophies begin as simple rants that go on to define the principles of a civilized humanity. Society emphasizes a common need for a reasonable truth relatable to all. In a world that is defined by the power of modern utility, people are becoming smaller and the institutions that produce fruits of modernity are growing increasingly hegemonic. The concerned private citizen has always served as the backbone of civilization. As a sociological body, they cringe at the notion of lethargic apathy.

The sons and daughters of empire are the most disillusioned with the meaning of reason and reality. The deprivation of hardship is the deprivation of experience. The children of empire make names for themselves as prolific thrill seekers. Yet, an enthralled chase is hardly the stuff of a meaningful existence. Modern utility is no substitute for a sense of belonging; through the latter, we find reasons to stand for something. Hence, a life worth living is the same as one worth saving. When populations are marginalized they are ignored by their rulers.

A nation of power relies on a system of sociological spoils. As long as a standing population accepts an illusion of freedom, it has ample reason to remain within the repressive parameters of the status quo. The author argues that some of the greatest crimes against humanity occur when populations are subliminally marshalled into accepting an illusionary sociological freedom. The right of free expression ensures that governments and bureaucracies do not get too powerful. Hegemonies of power are engineered out of desires for absolute control.

We often misplace the fact that some of the greatest experiments made in the name of statecraft were forged out of the ideas of concerned private citizens. Hence, the root origin of all human philosophy is cultivated through the power of concerted critical opinion.

 

Inferences of Critiqued Reason

History has been shaped by opinions. The views of policy makers are adopted as the architects of civilization. It is believed that standing populations have a responsibility to understand and adopt such points of view as their own. Popular consent is usually manufactured through the power of subliminal conversion. What other alternative is left to standing populations but to accept and corroborate opinions of the establishment that are seemingly larger than life? In democratic societies, private citizens voices their opinions in hopes of influencing their elected representatives.

As much as we want to influence the development of the human condition, we experience great difficulty defining what our opinions are. It does take a great deal of critical intuition to have an opinion to begin with. Information is similar to wealth; we don’t know what to do with it once we have too much of it. An information overload has the potential to create an identity crisis. Once the unquestionable is critically questioned, our worldviews are turned upside down. Recollecting an informed state of mind can be quite desensitizing.

For that reason, it’s disheartening to realize so much of the establishment is based on packs of impartially lopsided truths. An opinion is formed in hopes of lauding an appreciation of the truth. Similar to ideas, battles are often fought over opinions; the latter is indeed one of the greatest expressions of freewill. Unfortunately, in order to be taken seriously, an opinion maker must possess a great deal of affluence over the establishment.

Such parties fabricate truths in hopes of garnering more power and control over the people. Where does that leave the concerned private citizen? Are private citizens predestined to face a future of powerlessness? As an upstanding citizen, how will it be possible to be taken seriously if our opinions do not matter?

This work is to be treated as an architectural analysis of the human condition based on the formative observations of a concerned private citizen.

 

Prosecuting the Philosophical Curiosity of Mind

It all began with two leftover scratchpads at a hotel. The author started writing down reflections that tried to answer questions that are commonly regarded as larger than life. The author did not publish this particular work assuming that it would afford any reader with a goldmine of fresh philosophical perspective. Rather, it is a way of giving something back to the world in a manner where the author applies comprehensive appreciation of the overarching subject matter as a means of broadening its underlying theme.

The power of individual rumination is at the heart of hermeneutics and is often the precursor for all things sociological. It is hoped that this literary work stands as a testament to that. The author invites the intellectually minded reader to indulge in that pursuit.

 

The Schismist Dilemma of Human Civilization

It is a rather audacious task to project our ideas on sheets of paper. There is always so much to say, but it is not always clear how we should say it. Each epoch of time arrives with its own sensitivities which alludes to the overarching disparity of any sociological situation. All too often we are encouraged to align ourselves between two different ideological maxims that are dichotomous to each other. That is the surest path to humankind’s destruction.

Ideological dichotomies transform into adversarial constructs and when each one becomes openly confrontational we are left with the ideological war of mind. If anything that is a reoccurring complication that resurfaces with the generational renewal of time; on many counts, that is one of the main reasons why history continues to repeat itself. The problem rests with the overarching arrogance of humankind. Even when the evidence is stacked against us we are extremely reluctant to admit any fault, guilt, or wrongdoing.

The most civilized approach should analyze the ideological maxims of the day in an effort to achieve the best of both ideological worlds. That describes an intellectual tradition that began with the Situationist International which has been resumed by its Schismist counterpart.

 

Essayed Ruminations of Speculative Thought

Each person has their own interpretation of the world no matter how rudimentarily obtuse it happens to be. Opinions are individually derived interpretations that try making sense of the world. The twenty-first century has been epitomized as an Age of Information; yet we squander in ignorance while struggling to define the simplest of terms that surround us daily. The power of interpretation sociologically amplifies an opinion in a way where discourse, dialogue, and perspective is created; the combination of all three describes the fundamental nature of this work.

Within its contents, essay summarizations and response commentaries are offered by the author in hopes of creating an Age of Tempered Reason. On that note it must be clarified that the author does not claim any pretentious accreditations as preferential bargaining chips; the only thing offered is an authored perspective that makes full use of the power of interpretive opinion. As citizenries the world over, the role of the citizen must be redefined in ways where the power of individually derived interpretive opinion is afforded direct democratic precedence without extraneous institutional barriers.

It is nonsensical to assume that billions will compose original petitions with sociological motivations in the name of democracy, but if more opinions are funneled from the bottom up the reasoned consciousness of our human civilization can critically discern between what is and isn’t in the common interest of our respective citizenries.

Such derivations emerge from bastions of common sense which are once again inferred from the power of interpretive opinion.

 

 

An Annotated Anthology of Select Social Commentary

There is no doubtful secret about it. Critical thinking is an art. As a species, we love or hate it. The application of critical dialogue is sourced from the innards of the mind. The diversity of the species is captured through the near innumerable strands of ideating thought. Each person maintains an opinion; although the prevalence of one is not an affirmation of applied intelligence. No matter who or where we are each person circumstantially interprets the reality of the world and that foments into a situational evaluation of the times.

Whether obtuse, average, or exceptional, the power of the human mind is categorically broken down in such ways; each measured categorical evaluation depicts the qualitative orientation of intelligence which is by deputation a mirrored reflection of history. Whenever possible, the astute student of history ponders the sociological vernacular of the massified mind since the beginnings of civilized time. For example, when referring to the historical annals of World War One, did the masses truly engender the pathological march to total war?

Did farmers, machinists, and mill workers truly desire to abandon their livelihoods for the trenches of the battlefield? The recollection and consolidation of critical thought often digresses with popular culture because a conflict of interest is expressed in what is sanctioned as a mainstream edict. As we look into the past illiteracy was widespread and often hailed as something to be culturally celebrated. History is literalized because we are coherent enough to ask queries that dare to ask what if; with that in mind, what if more people had the ability to express alternative disputations to the sanctioned party line of their cultural contemporaries?

Would humankind increase its literary verbosity or would we have a more intimate appreciation for history based on the compiled annotated anthologies of the past? The quintessence of this work tries to articulate an annotated compilation of opinions of the author consolidated into a greater anthology of the times. It is hoped that such a trend may provoke the formation of a worldwide community of critical thinkers complete with individualized monologues of history! Imagine the possibilities of an intellectually enriched recollection of history sourced from independent prerogatives of thought!

Thus, before we repeat history in the future we may be more inclined to think about it before it becomes a grave problem; yet that stands as a conclusive digression that is hopeful at best.
