The basic Ethic, "Creative Ethic" is not new to this world, it is
what in spite of so many obstructing elements in the physical andpsycho-social environment, has taken us to be what we are now at our
best. The reason it has not been more successful is because it has never been applied consistently (we do have other mores) and also because it has always been given in the shadows of some other ethics, or has always had to accommodate one ideology or another. When, who knows what ape or apes, took the first free steps toward learning something not know to anybody before, the Ethic was being applied. When parents send the kids to school, they apply it too. When governments (perhaps reluctantly) institute educational systems they are applying the Ethic. When we choose to minimize pollution in our daily activities we too apply it. ( Pollution by diminishing health diminishes capacity for sapience. ) Exercise by improving health, increases sapience. Racial discrimination diminishes peoples sapience, = unethical . Violent acts against non-aggressors, for the same reason = unethical. So too: Rapes, frauds, lies, disrespect, thievery, etc.. The only reason to diminish anybody's sapience is if that person is deliberately destroying some one else's sapience. For the above ethic to work it has to be accepted in complete freedom and, not because some body says it should work, but on/and for its own merits, that is, if it works, if it capacitates people more and more... You increase my sapience, I increase yours... into infinity. Juan Meridalva. |
