Recurring ethos over time
and through generations..
This country, the USA, has at least two significant ethos of a bi-polarity.
One was to have a place where one could live in a community of peace
as refugees from the repressions and the oppressions of their homeland..
The other is one of an opportunistic grab for the possible wealth of
resources so they can have the same status and similar titles of those
with such dominions of their former homelands.. It echoes through the
years and generations as it comes to its political reckoning in this period
of 'the chickens coming home to roosts' to their lairs, aka “nests’.
As it being more 'past-the-tipping-point' stage, as is the coming climate
calamity, as a consequence of seeking to the control of things and others
for one's de facto imperial ends for narrow and self-serving rationales..
The social Darwinist attitude has been the justification of the 'haves',
as it defines their means.
Humanity has been one characterized by the tangible utility of power.
Best narrated by the words of Pontius Pilate, "What is "Truth"?".
Which speaks of his truth of the reality he and those like him exists.
THAT is a valid objective subjectivity, which provides the argument
for the ethos of those, their enablers, apologists, and subservients of
different levels, whom I described as opportunistic and also as
enablers of the ends IS the justification and the ontology of those means
through those combined energies. Within that framework, I accept
that rationale.
I also have come to the thoughts that the means is also the conditioner of
the actors, plus the consequences of what those actors have done to their
social and ecological structure to its near-or-at tipping point is its own
truth which cannot be totally denied but acknowledged as their mea culpa.
As for the latter group, I would not bestow on them any total virtue in
their motivations of their means, since they have their own residual ethos
of some material utopianism on Earth. But I would state that there is an
underlying theme that the ends is NOT their self-justification.
It, the means, ondition is the 'tell' of any means. 'Justifications' being an
open-ended ambiguity of a commonweal of whatever is their
ever-transitional state of being. What it is to their relative relationship to
control and power is-in another realm-irrelevant, qualitatively when the
karma of "the chickens coming home to roost [on the nests]” of
their making.
This is an objective reality, where I find that I refer to an intangible,
karmic ethos's that are algorithms of a mentality, which are headed for
either a political, short-term reckoning or an existential, karmic,
long-term one. Also, in being a reincarnationist, I'm presuming that the
means of what we do incarnate by the means of our rationalizations of
our acts and relative to-the-ends or the ends-to-means will say more about
what was and is justifiable, than any self-serving recitation on anthropology
or zoology.
"But if you don't know you're lying, not even to yourself, then you can exist
within it until your very perception is altered. You can post-rationalize after,
and in that way, you can persist within that world without ever having to admit
or accept you have betrayed yourself. Delusion is not enlightenment. It's
blinding light."
And it exist subconsciously (or is it "non-consciously"?) on separate exclusionary
tracts of insulated (and of algorithmic determinative functions) unbeknownst to
the actors, other than their short-term and myopic purposes.. Historically, in our
contemporaneous moralizations-it's called a delusion. In the broader picture, it
could be a Yin/Yang of flux, as mass consciousnesses moves between the polarities
by the needs, conditions, and circumstances of each generation..
As new frontiers get more sparse, the ethos of daring, ‘by-your-own-rules’ are
supplanted by the regulations of the (institutionally-organized) 'Lobster basket'.
Freedom becomes a practical relative in function, which is chafing for those
who seek its absolute conditions.. It is THERE where the communalist utopia
and the opportunist utopia have their contentious friction.
What I'm also stating is that there is a mutual exclusivity for both in their
utopian end-game. Only the existence of the hybrid of each "wanting their
cake and eating it" does there seem to be this dystopian apocalypse on the
horizon. Those seeking material or quantifiable justifications would seem to
have unending frustrations of existing in a heterogeneous heterodoxy of
competing materially f the more intangible and qualitative relativeness,
NOT based on the material or the quantifiable, will find their succor
in aesthetics of mind.. For both, it becomes the juxtapositional fable of
'the lumberjacks and the forests' -each existing for their own subjective ends,
as far as the limits for each will allow for its maintenance and sustenance.
In this present heterodoxy of hybrid, conflicting aspirations, the "trauma of the
contentiousness" over valued tangible "resources" is part of the social evolution
of the mass consciousness of WHAT 'to have' or 'to have not' for the good of the
so-called hybrid whole..
