Critical Questions Driving Politics


These 5 questions are of utmost importance to political inquiry!

How I juxtapose science, myth, religion, & politics


Science

is modern man's infallible & shared perspective of nature & its causation & effects - creating connections of intelligence; it is perspective without conscience.

Myth

is the fallible perspective of ancient man regarding nature & it's affect within us; but without scientific or intelligible contingencies. It is the preconceived science-reality bridge - giving rise to a spiritual world - felt in emotion but not sensed in a real presence.

Religion

is a highly composed & defined system of related myths that commune outwards to a sense of finality, destiny, & creation; as well as impart values (interpellation), purpose & morality.

Politics

is a highly composed & defined system of control over people - their lives, property, rights, ethical practice, & often religious attributes (traditions); it is a game in which contenders are forced to play with cheats and liars, necessarily.
