The Death of Rationality

[John Kintaro]

Note: This is a work of pure imagination based upon memory. This is an opinion essay. We all have minds and the paradigm of which I use is my own and is not described as anything other than the title of this essay. I do welcome any debate or criticism to my ideas and my interpretation of history.

For the majority of the Enlightenment, and the following periods there existed a Christian Monarchy as government which created a deep impression into morality at the time and quite basically what was seen as appropriate. A definition of Reasonable is “ready to use and hear reason,” “reason,” being “a motive cause or justification for something,” or “a fact put forward at this.” These are from the Oxford Student dictionary, an edition published this century in what is known as the Information Age. We all know what facts are, they are simply a conclusion drawn from reasonable evidence.

As the fields of science moved forwards, especially modern forms of social science such as archeology and ethnography these systems integrated older cultural ideals into modern cultures at the time, it also allowed the British empire to have amazing invasions of other territory to expand because its scientific establishment was often used as a system of intelligence on how to conquer, buy, or acquire land by whatever means. One of these is the growing evidences about Jesus' existence as a historical figure. There is more information about this all over the place, and I respect those who go and have a good look for themselves. A good start is the movie Zeitgeist, which you should be unafraid to watch if you truly consider yourself reasonable, and ready to accept or reject presented information.

The system which used to be in place: Theocracy and Autocracy, created a strong loyal structure of wealth founded upon the work of peasantry whilst spoiling artists to keep them entertained and docile. More powerful than the Monarchist structure however was the structure of central banking, as I have previously written about. The Rothschild Family and Dynasty ran a large portion of the economies of the time. The systems however left the Monarch, and ultimately the Church control of the moral foundations. By the Age of Reason however America revolted against the British Empire and the French against the Church and the Monarch creating foundations which ultimately triggered the enlightenment which followed the philosophical Age of Reason.

The Moral Structure of which we live our lives however barely changed in that era because everyone had, and deserved freedom of religion and Christianity still prevailed by complete consent. The Christian Morality regarding sexuality superstitiously holds sexuality in and as an act of shame which ultimately, with all of us holding sexual desires naturally, creates a religion with impossible demands and a machine to hold any man at mercy and at arms at the same time against himself.

The Christian system does this by having in its religious texts (New Testament, and Vatican Law) various claims against things such as masturbation , unmarried sex, homosexuality. In fact the Old Testament has a large amount of impossible demands placed on the modern woman, such as making it a sin to wear anything other than a dress. These claims are not the original message, but even Buddhism has had a long road of various sects and tradition creating impossible demands when the religion and its followers were under the control of various governments. This I believe along with the beneficial support someone with life problems can get from the Church, creates a system of shame and benefit for being ashamed of yourself which I believe is complete and utter madness.

Interestingly during the Enlightenment era Isaac Newton a man known as The Father of Science, had to commit a form of heresy in practising alchemy and did it to understand God. He founded some of the most essential physics to this day, with fluid dynamics and the laws of gravity. In those times, he was seen as brave and heroic and indeed his ideas moved the people forward themselves in respect for themselves, especially after it was discovered he committed heresy some time after. Neitzsche wrote about in his philosophy a change in the world as God being dead.

In the modern age, the Information Age, the moral principles of which we base ourselves, and which have been on a global scale separated are combining and this includes sexual standards. The modern moral structure is subject to either a rebirth of totalitarianism or a rebirth of morality and the human race, for our survival will depend on our ability to tolerate each other, this does not however mean we should ever loose our right to object.

In the modern age, things which are taboo items for Children are becoming available like pornography whether we like it or not. Our computers save us time, and are essential to teach our Children and hope they are computer literate for a society which depends on them, there is no reason we should go backwards but go forwards in a new generation, and indeed a new age where the world will share moral concepts rather than enjoy them secretly, hold ourselves in shame with false notions of self-esteem. We can only achieve this on consent.

Morality is dead, we killed it, now lets hope for the rebirth!

However this mindless, death of rationality along with it is what we should fear for when we fear using our minds at home for they have become the powerhouse of our labor, we become mindless, for when we fear our muscles for the same reason, we become weak, this is the death of rationality. You might think I am insane, but by old standards you all are. Morality is dead, we brutally murdered it for the most immoral act is to just stand where you are and never look forward and always sacrifice mindfulness for pleasure. This is the information age, it is also the entertainment age, and we have let rationality die for the sake of information that is easier to swallow.

Did you write it before you learned about Ayn Rand? It's strange that you are both against reason and morality, yet find her ideas fascinating.
