As I said in the last post, I am about to write a few posts with a run down of my thoughts, and corrections, on David Wilcocks videos. Specifically in relation to his quotes and perspectives on the Law of One.
To do this I am going to have to define terms. Much of this thinking, much of the groundwork and my base in philosophy. Comes from Stefan Molyneux. But some of it is original. Since Stefan in general, as a hard atheist, does not believe in, is in fact emphatically against, the kind of mystical thoughts I will explore in its relation to ethics.
Firstly, I will attempt to explain how I will define a bad way to define ethics first. That without proper philosophical grounding. And then I will discuss, seeing as we are not going to be relying on the 'bad' way of defining ethics, a way we can actually define ethics, and surrounding semi philosophical verbiage.
The first general principle I want to outline in relation to ethics. This is pretty much copied from Stefan Molyneux. Outside of a secular system (I will explain why!). We cannot define ethics as other peoples conformity with our own ethical belief system. When said like this, this sounds obvious. But it is what people do. It is not as obvious when people do it. Since we are often familiar with these assumptions and don't question them.
The conscience is perfect and it always informs us of these things. But it speaks often in vague feelings. To really understand ethics it is important for us to articulate why a certain ethical thing is relevant or important.
Let us take Christianity. Christianity actually has quite a bad record on moral reasoning. Even though it might be the best that we have, based on the behaviour of its adherents. The issue with Christianity is that it relies heavily on "appeal to authority". So when the Christian is questioned. They cannot actually justify why a certain thing is ethical. Why a thing is like it is. They cannot articulate what their conscience is telling them.
This leaves the door open to people who DO NOT believe in Christianity, to simply say they do not believe in the Christian God and his handed down commandments. From that position, on top of the obvious ridiculousness of insisting on ethical rules you cannot justify. You would have to force your belief system on others in order to make them conform with it. So on what basis can you then justify holding people to your ethical rules? Are they OK to pull you into conformity with theirs? Well, then the foundation of your ethical system begins with tyranny, and possibly the initiation of violence; and of course, where it began, appeal to authority. That is a logical fallacy.
This applies to each religion and most ideologies of some description. But not secularism. The reason for this, is that secularism requires first principles to justify its moral reasoning. First principles, like everyday observeable reality, and all the objectivity that implies. A person can SAY they don't believe in gravity. But that isn't going to prevent them getting injured when they are pushed down the stairs.
There is more to say here and I have just marked in "Part 1" in the title here, because I realise it is going to be longer than I expected. I will skip over how we define evil, and put that in a later post, because I want to get to a more basic and simpler point first.
Skipping a few steps, one of the ways we can define something as immoral, and one that is very habitually and intuitively used, even by kids in a school yard. Is that if the person themselves declares a certain morality, but then is not in conformity with that reality.
Here, I will say something controversial. If Andrew Tate did do all the things he is accused of, like trapping girls with the lover boy method and such. How would you trip him up? How would you argue against him?
The world has very little objective morality that it submits to. We live in anarcho- tyranny. That system of secular morality is not up and running yet. So, as I said, people can be challenged against the morality they have defined. But Andrew Tate is a Muslim and Muslim accepts the enslavement of women.
In this situation, you wouldn't then be able to challenge him based on his morality. These behaviours, if he did them, are CONSISTENT with this morality. But you would be able to have your own in group, and freedom of association. To not associate with him for that reason. This might go for other Muslims as well that have not practiced sex trafficking.
So this is why in my discussion about David Wilcock. I will not be defining his behaviour as amoral in relation to biblical standards. I will be defining said behaviours in relation to his understanding of the Law of One, his own ethical standard.
Obviously, while I could go through Universally Preferable Behaviour (Stefans moral system, a secular system of ethics) to define every thing that he does do as wrong. Conman stuff in general. I don't really need to do that. For things like theft and egregious hypocrisy and lying, our own conscience speaks loud enough. Nuance and articulation aren't required.
