In honesty there are no excuses, only actions taken based on pure cold rationality and reality. With that, I begin this post on The Basic Operating Principles of Honesty.
When everything is removed externally, you are left with yourself; that’s not just some old overused bromide, but the genuine reality of the situation. So, remove the unreality, and what do you have? Rhetorically enough, sure, you still have an imagination, but it’s yours. Besides, besides that, all you have is reality.
Reality is the “what” we get out of what we have. For example, you climb a mountain, what happens some time after the experience? Sure, you can say, “I climbed that mountain,” but unless you always have more goals and better goals to climb, you have nothing. Because as any rational person would say: the past does not equal the future and the present is cold, hard cash, mined, seen, spendable and codified gold.
If you are working, earning and doing. Genuine and patient gain is the last basic operating principle of honesty. How to let the oak grow in its time.
So the one thing I really agree with Dr. Martin Luther King on in his nonviolent message, and what I feel is his most important message to all people is, “You better win, honey, you win at instead of burning, honey, burning.” Yes, if you are patient, honest and win, no matter what, it is really yours at the price of self-defense and productive use. Self-defense of such earnings is the right of every patient, honest wage earner. Even volumes one through four of Adam Smith’s “The Wealth of Nations” say this repeatedly in different applications within that work. Therefore, I mention this note and fact: I did not say in this article anything that advocates any kind of initiatory force or unreasonable arbitrary destruction of any kind and I will not mention or say in any article or in any of my articles anything that advocates any initiatory force . or unreasonable wanton destruction of any kind. Everything I do in life is productive and productive reasoning applies, including my writing and communications. So if I am “evil” for being so fully rational and realistic. So be it.
But, as I said, I do not advocate any initiation force or initiation violence. Just genuinely rational self-defense. In The Basic Operating Principles of Honesty many things will be and have been touched upon including the total epistemological philosophy of honesty and the total epistemological philosophy of dishonesty. Light will shine into their minds, hearts and souls on the nature of what is real in a genuinely functioning rational mind. So I repeat:
In honesty there are no excuses, only actions taken based on pure cold rationality and reality.
Good reality is earned. It takes bad reality. What do I mean by “cattle”? I mean developed with patience, working realistically and honestly. What do I mean by “taken”? I mean stolen, unrealistically lazy and dishonest. Let’s start there. Theft and initiation violence are suicide for the psyche and what really revives a psyche is hard work, earned values and honesty from scratch. True character is only built through honesty. This is not just a bromide, I live on this. More than that, this is how I created my writing step by step, honest integration, patience, and hard work.
I earned my living, my existence. I won’t waste it or waste it. My mind and my life are not garbage inside, garbage outside; it is Actions In, Results Out in the most logical and honestly rational way that is in tune with reality. Like Mr. Spock in “Star Trek,” I feel the deepest emotions and feelings that need the anchor of logic and want it. People who feel deep love and emotions need the anchor of logic and reason the most. Because real love and genuine compassion are always tempered with a genuine balance of logic, reason, and realism.
Like Mr. Spock singing with the “hippies” in the “Star Trek” episode about the Garden of Eden or negotiating peace with the Klingons in the final “Star Trek” movie with the original cast (“Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country”). Genuine compassion is looking beyond all petty concerns and superficial emotions and getting to the heart of reality and honesty and taking the right actions that are realistic to reason. Because honesty is what honesty does.
Rationality and honesty are the most important values that exist because of what I have said as the Basic Operating Principle of Reality and honesty: Actions Inside, Results Outside. Called as seen, that’s what it all comes down to without regret from objective reality.
