LOGICAL MINDS ONLY Robert Burk

A discussion on the decay of the West through the agency of moral relativism.

Faith Responds

In Part Two, faith responds to the devils claims that democracy gives power to the voter; at best democracy is the illusion of power. Faith demonstrates that relying on the judgement and goodness of man, is not Biblical and not entirely rational.

The Devil Speaks

In Part One, the devil presents the case for democracy.

When we say we support freedom or want freedom, it is usually of a particular kind. Sometimes it refers to freedom of speech, freedom to associate, or freedom to abort babies, but behind this call for freedom is the expectation it will curtail some other freedom. We do not want people to be free to cry fire in crowded theaters or be permitted to call our wives in the middle of the night to say obscene things to her. We claim we love freedom but mostly we love freedom for us, but we fear it for others. This is why we have the state and permit it to legislate our freedom away. We would rather lose our freedoms than permit too much of it, to others.

People think that making money is the same thing as earning money. Banks and the state make money, the rest of us earn it or try to. Businesses and labor do not make money, they earn it. To earn money, we must do what the owners of money expect and require. We might work for years on a property or idea and if it does not fit the requirements of the credit issuing institutions, the work has no value. You might find a way to end unemployment, but if the program cannot produce a profit for a bank, it has no value. Work does not make money, in this world. Banks make money. The state makes money, and because they make money, they have access to everything money can buy. This means what it sounds like. Those who make the money have access to the goods and services of the market, whereas those who try to earn money has only that level of access they earn. In this short piece you will be shown how those who are now earning money can learn to make it, in the same sense that banks and the state make money. Needless to say, there is no risk to this program because you do not have to have money earned from banks or the state. You make the money you use. What is less risky than that?

Rationalism is the belief that reality is logical and analytical and that deductive logic is sufficient for arriving at the truth. When ones thoughts cease to be incoherent, contradictory or irrelevant, one has acquired the truth. This manifesto is a few preliminary notes outlining the framework of Apriorian thought.
