This Essentian tale is offered to aid the People of Memoria in becoming aware of the philosophical and ideological spells they have been in thrall to. Cairn’s Common Sense Realism provides the only framework capable of safeguarding liberty and sovereignty. It respects the balance between individual agency and natural law, ensuring that freedom is neither subsumed by the collective nor dissolved into subjective chaos. By exposing the metaphysical flaws in both Globalis’ centralized control and Solara’s ungrounded subjectivity, Cairn’s philosophy illustrates the enduring power of reason, responsibility, and reality.

To analyze the metaphysical underpinnings of the three positions in the tale;

Cairn’s Common Sense Realism

Globalis’ Collectivised Centralism

Solara’s Subjectivist Idealism

We must examine their views on reality, truth, human nature and freedom.

Each of these metaphysical frameworks corresponds to a specific worldview that informs their ethical and political implications.

Globalis’ metaphysics denies the intrinsic value of individuals and their connection to natural law. By subordinating all to the collective, it undermines self-governance and replaces natural reciprocity and complementarity, with coercive dependency.

While claiming to promote personal freedom, Solaris’ metaphysics results in chaos, dependency and disconnection from the real world. Those influenced by her philosophy become easy prey for systems like Globalis’, as they lack the grounding in reality needed for self-sufficiency and resistance.

Hopefully the tale of The Farmer, The Architect & The Poet has helped to illustrate why and how Cairn’s Common Sense realism provides the only framework capable of safeguarding liberty and sovereignty. It respects the balance between individual agency and natural law, ensuring that freedom is neither subsumed by the collective nor dissolved into subjective chaos. By exposing the metaphysical flaws in both Globalis’ centralized control and Solara’s ungrounded subjectivity, Cairn’s philosophy demonstrates the enduring power of the 3 Rs; Reason, Responsibility and Reality. Requisite for the self-governance and popular sovereignty of the Essentians; necessary and vital for the Memorians to restore in order that their Kingdom can flourish once more.
