Fractional Law Making and Moral Debt

[messianicdruid]

"It is a fault to meddle with what does not belong to or does not concern you."

While law does concern us, the meddling [ rule-making ] is just that.

Nietzsche put in words the delusion of mortem divinium, insisting on consideration of the consequences { as few others subsequently would }, warning that we would need to be lighting a lamp in the morning, wondering how to we were to find the horizon without the concepts of up and down, the growth of philosophy disguised as science, the unmitigated acceptance and foolish desire for the unknown. Self-automatons leaping off the edge without knowing the depth of the pool, or even if it contained liquid.

Exceptionalism for the brilliant, beautiful or wealthy {arrogant?} who were encouraged to follow their own "inner law" was a terrible exemption unleashed on all; since the poor, ordinary and destitute would consequently suffer oppression at their hand.

As Heidegger put the problem, "If God as the suprasensory ground and goal of all reality is dead, if the suprasensory world of the ideas has suffered the loss of its obligatory and above it its vitalizing and upbuilding power, then nothing more remains to which man can cling and by which he can orient himself."

We live with his failure to bring about a naturalistic source of value in the vital impulses of life, simply because of not having the capacity to see both the beginning and the end, even when cautioned to look for it.

"I praise, I do not reproach, [nihilism's] arrival. I believe it is one of the greatest crises, a moment of the deepest self-reflection of humanity. Whether man recovers from it, whether he becomes master of this crisis, is a question of his strength!"

And where cometh strength? Not in politics or economics, I can assure you.
