When
Buddha meditated for enlightenment,
ignoring
his worldly needs until his naval touched his spine, short of starving to
death, enlightenment stroke him:
Virtuality and Added-on Values
cannot substitute life without killing it! Similarly
materialistic thinking
cannot substitute the laws of nature and
lifefulfillment without rendering life
meaningless. Conventional ethics tried to
encapsulate this "wisdom".
When the
markets are saturated with a product-system, such as the roads with
polluting cars, at the latest at its
globalization, the ethical aspects of
its users need to get enough
meaning for a desirable transformation with Timely Exchange of
Project-Oriented Competence, TEPOC© before
the system closes into self-destruction. This obviously requires a critical number of people who do
not simply derive their identity
as consumers or producers of existing
things within the politically correct
mentality and that before the point of
NO return.
At this stage, however
in postmodern times, the old ethics is
bound to fail for more of the same produces more problems than it solves.
Its underlying psychology has no function
other than prejudging and measuring patterns of behavior as characteristics
of personality, mere values of unknown variables in unknown, and
for that matter unwanted equation. It rather
presumes to find its equation in the ruling of the system of
trendy norms (needed to be fulfilled
to get satisfaction in society) and values
(expectations which are propagated for useful idiots to be fulfilled
instead of their lives) and priorities
(collective urgencies which, according to the system wardens need to be
achieved, with the corresponding decision making and implementation such as
to win the New War); these are the "drives" we can derive to foretell
actual and future behavior of the masses. It is exclusively in this
system#2 where the various facets of
socio-historical data and trends are encoded.
However, to properly
account for the ethical aspects towards the
requires synergy, the underlying and so far suppressed
substantiality of
people’s being has to be addressed. And that beyond the
marketing of the spirit of the time to infotain and overwrite
substantiality to be able to cannibalize it for other purposes than
lifefulfillment!
This
is a matter of
obedience to the immutable §-laws (disobedience
just bring your naval to the spine and worse, e.g. is an expression of
stupidity),
belief (in what you have understood to be
the way until truth proves it wrong or points to a better way),
hope (for a overall, meaningful order
towards which understanding can converge towards
lifefulfillment),
and love (for the substantiality towards the
fulfillment of its substance).
