MoQites of all nations, unite!
Could we not agree on the following:
1. Fighting government (= social patterns) with guns (= inorganic
patterns or -according to interpretation- biological patterns) is
immoral. Change of social patterns should be effected by intellectual
patterns and ideally does not result in biological casualties.
2. Fighting criminals (= biological or low quality social patterns) is
the task of the highest quality social pattern we have. That is a kind
of government guided by intellectual patterns that respects
intellectual and Dynamic potential in every individual and that
therefore does not harm individuals biologically in this fight. It may
have to restrict their freedom to organise in low quality social
patterns or to act insanely, but it never needs to kill them to do so.
(The highest quality government available may have to use "militia" in
some circumstances, I don't know. Not in the Netherlands, I think.
Maybe we don't have the same range of alternative social patterns
available everywhere, necessitating charging a second choice one with
fighting criminals...)
maybe even on:
3. No cause (= intellectual pattern) legitimises fighting with
material weapons (= fighting social patterns by fighting biological
patterns with inorganic patterns).
I would like to have more arguments for the last one, though. At the
moment I don't come further (given available time) than the fact that
I have a vested interest in it, being a Quaker.
With friendly greetings,
