Welcome to Gaia! ::

logic as we know it, legally and philosophically, is largely based on the materialist paradigm. It is a single view. Most of the concepts you take for granted are actually just part of the programming you receive. Attempt to prove those beliefs as being factual, and you will realize quickly that it boils down to the classic case of "because I say so". Aristotle created many of the rules of debate used today, but Aristotle disliked Socrates, promoted slavery, and opposed the concept of equal rights for women, preferring to use his logic system to provide empirical evidence of their inferiority. Aristotle claimed nothing too big or too small could ever be beautiful, since he could not perceive it. Rome is responsible for many Latin Maxims, but Rome as a civilization tore itself apart, enslaved men and tossed children in pits to kill each other. Rome eventually fell to a soft blend of internal factionalism, political corruption, and foreign invasion while the coffers were low. Madmen like Nero were permitted to become heads of state under the August systems of logic and justice provided by the string of Axioms composing this Mediterranean paradigm, but today people cite these statements as if they were written in the very fabric of the universe by the hand of God.

Fools.

Do not allow your mind to be enslaved by failed philosophical systems. No gift of leisurely intellect can bring any solace if it is less than the Truth. Let not your pride consume your ability to keep an open mind and do your own investigations. Let not the strange nature of what you perceive bind your power to apprehend.
