Scott and All
Have bees, ants, termites and other insects evolved instincts in creating
their social environment? For example do the descendants of the first ants
only have to be 'reminded' in order to trigger their social instincts? The
memories of insects? Nature reflecting on itself? The evolution from
biological to biological-social for an insect? The acceptance of
'celebrity-imitation', the dynamic quality of the social order creates
social instincts in the descendants? Perhaps!
Education reminds children of their instincts. Rebellion against the
religious-centered education of the middle ages with its emphasis on
purpose, substituted a secular view of education as training for society.
The dogma of the 'church of reason' denied the existence of value and
ignored evolved intellectual instincts. With Persig leading the way, the
awareness of and the limits to this intellectual evolution are again
debated.
Society depends on trust. Communication using defined words depends on
trust. Through communication intellectual instincts are created and the
social order evolves to the intellectual order. Trust in communication to
decide something does not have the 'good' of intellectual instinct. If I
decide only from an attitude of 'show me', then I am subject to the leader,
the rhetorician, the salesman. The ones who senses my process to decision.
The agnostic willingly does not accept the 'good' of the intellectual
instinct. The instinctive intellectual sense of existing orders is denied.
American society engaged in an illogical war in Vietnam. Pop culture
focused on bad social attitudes. An instinctive movement of rebellion
followed.
There have been rebellions throughout history. Trust in a leader is reason
enough! Why? How can I willingly deny the existing intellectual instincts?
I can deny all instincts. I kill myself! I am buffered. My own actions
bewilder me; what I do is not what I wish to do, but something which I hate.
I have inorganic, biological, social, and intellectual instincts.
Metaphysics, using an improper division of existence, deny intellectual
instincts. I experience two, one and one. I experience quality. I
experience existence. I experience purpose.
Reflection on experience reminds me of my contradictions and my buffers. I
use meditation and reflection to see my limitations. I sing and am happy.
Others come from another part of the Earth with a different social
structure, creating different intellectual instincts, and we war. I read
stories to remember. The stories of one society are different from the
stories of another society. I say my stories are Revelation, and I won't
read your stories.
An individual seeks a goal. That is my experience. I do not hinder another
instinctively seeking a goal. That is my experience of freedom. A vote has
as its goal the passing of authority in society from one to another. A free
vote! A social order which denies instincts denies evolution. Society is
trust. Nuclear bombs insure trust. The urge to live insures the
destruction of us all. There is no instinctive sense that a United Nations
can unify humanity while keeping diversity. The creation of the instincts
for the next tree-hugging order are denied. Our dogmas, doctrines, beliefs,
our individual selves are the only certainty. The wanderers seeking order
become exhausted.
