Small compromises in philosophical realism can seem harmless but open the door to greater corruption.
• Phenomenological subjectivism, even when introduced with good intentions, weakens natural law and objective morality.
• Once people accept that truth is shaped by experience rather than discovered in reality, they become vulnerable to control by those who can manipulate experience.
• Only a return to metaphysical realism and natural law can restore sovereignty, both intellectual and political.
The question now is: will the rebuilding begin in time, before all memory of the foundation is lost?
I remain committed to rebuilding and working collaboratively with others for whom the memory of the foundation is key. If you’ve found value in the way in which I present my analysis here on substack as I attempt to engage people interested in these roots and weeds so vital to our flourishing - or our decay, please PLEASE support my work financially. I have no institutional affiliations, no sponsors - a handful of paid subs so far, for which I’m grateful, but that doesn’t even begin to cover the costs of monthly subscription fees for audio tools I’m using to create these articles - let alone the number of hours it takes to research, draft and put articles out. I need your support. I’d prefer to be employed by an allied Institution to do this kind of analysis and creative teaching outreach, but I don’t have a PhD or fit the requisite academic mold. This work requires productive intellectual fellowship, not isolation and output to a subjectivism ‘customer’ market. The Consumer Model has huge issues and implications for epistemic and moral integrity. The Consumer Model orients to Pragmatism über alles and the diktats of mass appetite. Is this really a model for Stewardship? Experience has shown me that it’s a Model for “Innovation”🪄and Novelty🤩 and Satiation😋. Have we not yet learned the lessons of craving Perceptum, Intentio and Behaviouralis? What is the Platform for Realitas? The “Knowledge Economy” & “Marketplace Of Ideas” drown it out. But it was never Caesar’s. It was off limits to such avarice and utilitarian disposition. So why is everything now subject to Caesar’s Rule? Caesar wants no part in the Tower Of Sapientia. As another Ruling Authority rhetorically stated: ‘What Is Sapientia?’
